Mini microscopes on sale that will make your inner nerd very happy

We live in a beautiful world — and not just because there’s a Coldplay song that says so, but because there’s an endless bounty of natural wonder that we’re constantly surrounded by. Sometimes, all it takes is a little switch in our perspective to help us see it: because after all, the human eye is limited, even when our creativity and imagination might be vast. 

These incredible microscopes add a little bit of extra wonder to the world we already see with our bare eyes (plus, they’re all on sale). Check them out below:

uHandy Smartphone & Tablet Microscope Kit

This innovative kit includes both hi-mag and lo-mag lenses that you can attach to your phone or tablet, so you can magnify samples of the natural world in stunning, crisp resolution. The lo-lens light captures textures up to 120x in ambient lighting, while the hi-mag lens lets you view ultra-detailed structures up to 360x. Rediscover your inner scientist as you observe plants, animals, aquatic creatures and more in detail, and keep a clear record of all your findings with the included stickers and album notes. 

Usually, this kit is $129.95, but you can get it on sale for $119.99.

1000X Zoom 1080p Microscope Camera

This incredibly portable microscope camera allows you to view the smallest details of jewelry, coins, stamps, electronics, skin, hair, or medical samples in high resolution — at up to 1000x their actual size — directly on your computer screen. The eight LED lights allow you to see objects with total clarity for examination, and you can use the microscope itself to capture photos and save them to your computer to avoid disrupting your image.

It’s the ideal tool for scientists (or amateur scientists) in training. Usually this camera is $129.99, but if you head to the Mashable Shop you can get it now for $38.99. 

uHandy Smartphone & Tablet Microscope Kits (Lite)

A more lightweight version of the larger uHandy kit, this kit turns your phone into a microscope for you to carefully observe the world around you. It includes a lo-mag lens, three sampling caps, stickers, hubs, and an album for you to keep track of your findings. Plus, the kit is compatible with both Android and iPhones. 

Usually, this phone-friendly kit is $34.95, but you can get it on sale for $29.95.
