More fun and easier to use than a microscope, this is a durable, quality instrument with precision ground stereo optic lenses. The PEER-X allows anyone to clearly see specimens like the pollen laced legs of a bee, compound insect eyes, all aspects of plants, mineral and rock crystals. The Peer-X Binocular-Scope includes a standard body with adjustable mount and dust cover, 10x eye pieces, 2x objective, tweezers and flat spade. It comes equipped with an LED light source for dark conditions only. The Scope comes in a Styrofoam casement and box. It was launched in January 2006.
