Screen, Lens and Capture Functions

Shared Screen Viewing

The 2-inch screen shows the magnified view, so more than one person can look at the same image together. There is no eyepiece, which means viewing does not depend on one person at a time.

Portable Design

NanoScout is lightweight and ready for a lanyard-style strap. Glass lenses magnify objects such as leaves and insects, so the device can be carried outdoors and used in a backyard or on a walk.

NanoScout

Photo and Video Capture

Buttons on the device take photos and start video recording without a smartphone. Images are stored on NanoScout, and the Type-C cable can be used to connect it to other devices.

Strap and Construction

The microscope comes with an anti-fall safety strap for carrying. Its body is built as a compact handheld unit, which suits use in the yard, at a table or during a nature walk.

NanoScout: A Microscope for Kids With a Shared Screen

NanoScout is a microscope for kids built around a 2-inch screen, so a family can look at the same view instead of taking turns at an eyepiece. It suits children ages 3 to 12 who like to examine leaves, insects, fabric and pond water. Parents and teachers use it for backyard science journals.
