Frequently Asked Questions

I'm looking to place a bulk order

Great! We find that schools, camps, and other kid-centric organizations really enjoy our products, so a bulk order is a great option for this. If you wish to get an exclusive discount, please email us at support@thestemkids.com with your inquiry. Please include the product you wish to order in bulk and the desired quantity.

Can all ages use this?

Yes, it is designed for all ages! Each microscope is specifically designed and tested to be shatterproof to make sure you and your children are safe. The glass components are sheltered with high quality ABS plastic to protect the eyes.

 

It is recommended that children are supervised during use.

What is included with the purchase of a microscope?

Every microscope purchase includes a STEMKids portable microscope and microscope slides.

Are microscope slides required to use this?

No! In fact, it is specifically designed to be used WITHOUT microscope slides (unlike any other microscope on the market today). Simply point in the area of interest and view!

If you wish to use microscope slides, then each portable microscope comes with a viewable adapter. We also sell pre-prepared microscope slides for those that want to view insects without the hassle or danger of collecting them!

What should I do if the LED is not working?

Make sure to remove the plastic insulate tab before use. If the light still does not turn on, lightly tap the microscope against a hard surface.

 

If the light still does not turn on, it means the battery is dead. Use a small precision Phillips screwdriver to remove the bottom cap and replace the batteries (the batteries are LR-44 batteries).

 

If the LED still does not turn on, please contact us and we'll resolve your issue right away!

Is it hard to use?

Both kids and adults can operate the microscope with a bit of practice! We find that it takes no more than 5 minutes for people as young as four to learn!

It does have a bit of a learning curve. For those that are having trouble, we have a quick-and-easy guide on our website https://thestemkids.com/pages/how-do-i-use-my-microscope.

Do you offer multiple colors?
