Bio Viewer

The Bio Viewer is a compact and accessible introduction to microscopy for young learners. Designed to make biology engaging and hands-on, this viewer allows students to explore the microscopic world with ease. Constructed from moulded plastic, it is lightweight, durable, and requires no batteries or external light source. A white reflector directs ambient light onto the sample, while a single focusing knob enables simple adjustments for a clear view.

This viewer is ideal for viewing 35mm slide strips that contain eight stained and labelled specimens per set. Students can explore prepared biological slides with minimal setup and maximum clarity. Instructions are included for identifying each specimen.
