Digital Microscope

HAYEAR Microscope -- In more than a decade of hands-on natural history work, these are the best affordable digital microscopes we’ve used—and now you can get them through the Lab. We want to see these amazing tools used for environmental education across the world!  Imagine exploring the world between the layers of a leaf or through the skin of a caterpillar. Picture the wonder of light reflecting off a single butterfly scale or the dew collected on a woolly bear’s fuzz. Watch a caterpillar hatch from an egg, shed its skin, become a pupa, and emerge from a cocoon. Investigate the springtails turning your mulch into soil, or the ants carrying their larvae between the layers of an acorn collected from your backyard.  By looking at the world at its smallest scales, we can illuminate the biggest pictures. Our microscopes are available for retail purchase or as part of our nonprofit mission. Are you looking to purchase a microscope for nonprofit or educational outreach work? Please contact
