Microscopes open up an entirely new world for campers, allowing them to explore details that are invisible to the naked eye, from leaves and soil to insects and natural materials collected around the Arboretum.

These microscopes are high-quality stereo microscopes that offer 20x–40x magnification and dual lighting, making it easy for campers to observe both solid objects and translucent specimens in detail. 

Used during hands-on science activities, these microscopes encourage curiosity, careful observation, and critical thinking as campers investigate the natural world up close.
