Stylish and attractive, Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Moonstone Microscope can turn even the most boring biology class into enthralling research. This microscope allows children to find out what things around them are made of, to study insects and plants, see whether yogurt really does contain living organisms, and many other interesting things. Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Moonstone comes with an experiment kit, which means that a young explorer can start using the microscope right away.

High-quality glass optics
All optical elements of the microscope are made of high-quality, highly transparent glass. In order to further increase light transmission, the lenses are covered with multilayer coating–that’s why produced images are so clear, crisp and contrast. The microscope is equipped with three objectives lenses, which allow for 40-400x magnification range. All you need to do to change the magnification is turn the revolving nosepiece.

The ability to observe transparent and non-transparent objects
In order to observe a sample, place it on the microscope’s stage and secure with the two convenient stage clips. If the sample is transparent, for example a thin slice of onion or mosquito wing, you need to turn on the lower illumination. If you want to study some opaque objects – coins, plant leaves or paper – don’t forget to turn on the upper illumination. And if you turn on both upper and lower sources of light, you can also observe semitransparent samples. Illumination brightness is adjustable, so you can easily set the level of illumination that works best for every sample.

Thought-out design
The microscope body is made of lightweight and at the same time sturdy plastic. Due to its small weight, the microscope is easily transportable and can be taken along to school or when visiting friends. The head is inclined at 45° for more comfortable observations. The device can be powered either through an electrical receptacle or by batteries, meaning it can be used not just at home and at school, but also outdoors.

Caution: Please refer to the specifications table for the correct mains voltage and never attempt to plug a 110V device into 220V outlet and vice versa without using a converter. Remember that mains voltage in the U.S. and Canada is 110V and 220-240V in most European countries.

Experiment Kit
The microscope comes with Levenhuk K50 Experiment Kit, which allows you to carry out a number of interesting experiments–for example, you can observe a fly limb and even grow a population of aquarium pets (brine shrimp). The kit includes a colorful user guide with useful recommendations on working with the microscope, valuable tips on preparing microscope slides, and descriptions of the most entertaining experiments.

Hi! Bought this microscope to a kid as a Christmas gift and we are all happy with it. Thanks! One question - we tried to observe paramecium caudatum in aquarium water, but couldn‘t find any…we also tried to use potassium permanganate - no progress. Is this microscope capable of such observations at all? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Paramecium caudatum can be observed under 100x and above, therefore Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Moonstone Microscope is suitable for that. You can find more information on observations of Paramecium caudatum here - https://www.levenhuk.com/reviews/paramecium/.
Lusey Lang (2017-12-06 11:10):
Hello! I’m choosing a gift for a 10-year-old kid. It’s gonna be his first microscope so it should be easy to use and, at the same time, capable enough for school curriculum (at least secondary school). I’m choosing between this model and Levenhuk Rainbow 50L Plus. Which model will be optimal? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk Rainbow 50L PLUS is preferable as the kit contains an experiment kit, case for transportation and storage. Its magnification makes it suitable for secondary school curriculum.
Iris (2017-09-24 09:22):
Good afternoon, I want to ask about the this telescopes kit. On the picture there is an extended set, but it`s smaller in the description. Is this a mistake? Levenhuk Customer Service:
All items are listed in the description of the Levenhuk LabZZ T3 telescope. The kit includes: telescope, 4mm eyepiece, 12.5mm eyepiece, 1.5o erecting eyepiece, 3x Barlow lens, 5x optical finder, diagonal mirror; aluminum tripod with accessory tray
Isaak Fin (2017-09-16 11:24):
What is the difference between LabZZ M2 and LabZZ M3? Is LabZZ M101 better? Levenhuk Customer Service:
The difference is in magnification and optics quality. LabZZ M101 has smaller magnification than M2 and M3, but the picture quality is better. LabZZ M3 microscope has a projector included in the set.
Walt Chan (2017-09-02 10:00):
Could you tell me please, will the magnification increase if I replace 10x eyepiece with 16x? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Moonstone microscope has a maximum magnification of 400x. We do not recommend exceeding it, because it might result into poor picture quality.
Kate Stone (2017-07-12 10:08):
Good afternoon! Could you tell me please if this microscope is suitable for a 4.5 y.o. child? Or is it too heaped-up? (I also have a 12 y.o son and would like to buy a microscope that will suit them both). Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Moonstone Microscope will perfectly suit both kids. It’s really easy to use. We recommend that you be around when a smaller child is playing with it, because the microscope is fragile and has some small pieces.
