Students gently place a beetle, ant, spider or caterpillar inside the viewer, close it and look through the lenses. The 3x view shows the whole animal and how it moves, while the 6x view brings out legs, wings, antennae and body segments for drawing and identification. The specimen can be released unharmed where it was found once the observation is complete.
The same viewer works for seeds, soil animals, flowers and leaf surfaces, making it a flexible companion to an insect collection kit for school field work. Keep the viewer out of strong direct sun so the specimen does not overheat, avoid overcrowding it with several animals, and wipe the acrylic lenses with a soft dry cloth to prevent scratches.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Centered Magnifier for Insects. The viewer is made at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and reaches schools, nature clubs, dealers and importers directly from the manufacturer, so quotations and repeat class sets come from a single source.
