Microslide Viewer (Product Code: SLE/PS/123) is a hand-held viewer used to look at Microslides at 5X magnification in classrooms and outdoor lessons. It needs no electricity or batteries: a white reflector gathers ordinary room light to give a bright image, so every pupil can view slides at the desk without a microscope. The viewer is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a practical biology teaching aid.

The viewer lets a whole class study Microslide lesson sets at the same time, which is difficult when a school has only a few microscopes. Pupils hold it up, let the white reflector catch the light from windows or ceiling lights, and look at the magnified image; there is no focusing on a stage, no lamp to switch on and no risk of cracking a glass slide with an objective lens.
Because it runs without power, the viewer is equally useful on a field trip, in a classroom without sockets at the desks, or in a primary or middle-school lesson where microscopes would be too complex. Teachers often use it to introduce a topic before moving older students on to compound microscopes and conventional prepared slides.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies the Microslide Viewer through its ScienceLab brand in Ambala, Haryana. Schools, teacher-training centres and educational distributors can order viewers together with Microslide lesson sets so a class set arrives ready to use.

What magnification does the Microslide Viewer give?
The Microslide Viewer gives 5X magnification, enough to show the enlarged images on Microslides clearly to school pupils. It is a viewing aid for lesson slides rather than a replacement for a compound microscope when higher magnification is needed.
Does the Microslide Viewer need batteries or electricity?
No, the Microslide Viewer needs neither electricity nor batteries. A white reflector collects normal classroom light and produces a bright image, so there are no bulbs to replace and no cables on the desks.
Can the viewer be used outside the classroom?
Yes, the Microslide Viewer can be used outdoors as well as in the classroom, because it relies only on available light. That makes it handy for field trips, school gardens and nature clubs where microscopes cannot be taken.
