User questions & answers

Question:	Is the adapter here www.amazon.com/Carson®-MicroMax-Microscope-Adapter-MM-255/dp/B00BHW8J62/ for this model to use on my Samsung Duos GT
Answer:	Hi Amber,Please note that the MicroBrite Plus Pocket Microscope (MM-300) is not compatible with any smartphones. The added image is just to show some different related Carson products like other pocket microscopes as well as products that can be used for digiscoping purposes. We apologize for any confusion.
Question:	What exactly makes this item compatable with an iPhone or Galaxy
Answer:	Yes. There is a button that activates the LED light that will stay on continuously until you press it again to turn it off.
Question:	Does this have a light that stays on (one where you don't have to keep the button pressed down to keep the light on
Answer:	The four main species of dust mites range in size from .008 inch long to .012 inch long. Therefore, at this microscope's lowest power (60X), the smallest of these dust mites would appear as if it was nearly 1" long to the naked eye; and at 120X, the largest species would appear as if it was about 1.4" long to the naked eye. As you can see, the MM-300 is not just adequate for this purpose, it's perfect.
Question:	Can it be used to see dust mites and other insects not viewable with your eye
Answer:	This Anatomy Lab skull is intended for beginners and basic study, so instead, we would recommend the Axis Scientific 3-Part Skull that includes all these details: https://www.amazon.com/Axis-Scientific-Interior-Structures-Detailed/dp/B00KZO8R56

For Best Results:

1. Place the base of the microscope flush against a flat viewing surface
2. Ensure the LED lighting is switched on
3. Start focusing on the lowest magnification setting (60x)
4. Once you have a clear view of your subject, increase the magnification to your desired level (you may need to slightly adjust the focus again slightly)

A note on using the MicroBrite Plus in the field: Due to high magnification, the focal distance of the MicroBrite Plus is very short (maximum of 2mm past the acrylic base). It is not possible to focus on subjects beyond this focal distance. Looking at larger, three dimensional objects or objects that are not on a flat surface takes practice and a steady hand, especially since small movements are exaggerated with higher magnification. This is why we recommend viewing flatter objects on a flat surface, especially when first using this microscope.

Insect Lore Butterfly Garden

Witness butterfly metamorphosis at home or in the classroom with the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden. Children and adults alike will enjoy this engaging, hands-on educational activity, which lets you care for live insects as they undergo metamorphosis. Over the course of approximately 3 weeks, you can look on as they transform from caterpillars to chrysalides to beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.

Baby Caterpillars Grow Inside of the Cup

This set comes with a cup including five live baby caterpillars. The inside of the cup includes all the nutritious food that caterpillars need, so they can eat and grow until it is time to create their chrysalides (commonly referred to as cocoons). Place the cup in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the cup and will eat, spin silk, and grow to ten times their original size! After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides. Insect Lore guarantees that three out of five caterpillars will become butterflies.

Watch them Transform in Front of Your Eyes

When the caterpillars have reached the chrysalis stage, you can place the lid from the cup in the deluxe chrysalis station and place it inside of the specially designed mesh garden. It will take about seven to ten more days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies. Once the butterflies emerge, you can feed them with the included feeding dropper, flower-shaped butterfly feeder, and butterfly nectar recipe.

Set Your Butterflies Free

Enjoy your butterflies for a few days, let them go, and watch in excitement as they continue their amazing life cycle. Release your butterflies within a week of their emergence from the chrysalides when daytime temperatures are above 55 degrees. Simply take the butterfly habitat out to your yard, unzip the cover, and let your butterflies go. Butterflies will often land on little hands and faces before flying away. Keep an eye out for your butterfly friends, as they may decide to remain in your garden for a few days.

Insect Lore Ladybug Land with Live Larvae

The Insect Lore Ladybug Land with Live Larvae lets kids and adults observe every fascinating stage of ladybug metamorphosis at home or in the classroom. This set includes live ladybug larvae and food and a see-through domed ladybug habitat with a built-in magnifying lid to let inquisitive eyes watch ladybugs grow and mature.

Watch Ladybugs Grow in Front of Your Eyes

This set comes with a tube with 10 to 13 live ladybug larvae and all the food they need in this early stage of life. The ladybug larvae will eat, grow, and molt for about a week to ten days. Once they have stored enough energy, they will attach themselves to the walls and floor of their habitat to begin the pupal stage of their lives. Five ladybug larvae are guaranteed to develop into adult ladybugs.

Witness Each Stage of Ladybug Metamorphosis

After approximately five days, the adult ladybugs will emerge from the pupas. At this point, your adult ladybugs will rely on you to provide their food. The open, diorama-style habitat gives the ladybugs plenty of room to move about while they grow, with a water reservoir volcano in the center for them to drink from. The top of the domed habitat has a built-in magnifying glass for close-up ladybug observation.

Set Your Ladybugs Free

After you have enjoyed your adult ladybugs for a few days, it is best to let them go outdoors where they can begin the ladybug life cycle all over again. Children often become attached to their ladybugs, but it is best to release them within a week of their emergence from the pupas. Ladybugs are helpful in the garden, where they can assist you by eating aphids that can be harmful to plants.

User questions & answers

Question:	Were i to use this in a middle school class. how many students could work in a small group and still function efficiently with this kit

User questions & answers

Question:	Were these killed for this or were they found dead/ died of natural causes? I know it seems petty to ask, I just don't want some killed just for my cr
Answer:	I want to know this as well. My son is very interested in insects and would love this. But I don't want living things killed for a few minutes of human entertainment. I wish the company would answer this question.
Question:	Are these insect specimens suitable for viewing through a my first lab duo microscope? the scope claims to have both compound and stereo functions
Answer:	I don't think so. They are encased in acrylic, which is pretty thick
Question:	Can these be seen without microscope
Answer:	Definitely. They are very good for the science center in a daycare.
Question:	How heavy are they? Are they breakable
Answer:	Not breakable it's more of a resin. Not sure weight, but good quality. Happy with our purchase!
