Q: What three tools does it become?
With a few twists it changes from a 15X telescope to a periscope and then to a 10X microscope.
45K1616 - 3-in-1 Exploration Tool
With a few simple twists, this versatile instrument transforms from a telescope to a periscope to a microscope, sparking curiosity in children as they explore the world around them.
The easy-to-focus 15X telescope brings distant objects into view. Align all the lenses to scan treetops for birds or spot hidden treasure on a scavenger hunt, or turn skyward to identify constellations, phases of the moon or planets of our solar system with the help of an included guide.
Swap the lenses for the angled mirrors, and the tool becomes a periscope that extends the line of sight by over 7" (20cm). Peek over walls, around corners and under the bed, or even check if the coast is clear before changing hiding spots.
With another flip, it becomes a simple 10X microscope with a stage that has two viewing surfaces. The cupped side holds liquids and granular material, while the flat side allows you to examine solid objects, such as bugs and coins.
Lightweight and sized for children, this tool is designed for imaginative, hands-on play rather than precision optics. Although it’s made for children 6 and up, adult help is recommended when switching modes to ensure everything is set up just right.
Various colors, depending on supply.
