Discovery Nano is a classic basic monocular microscope for observing samples with magnification 40—400x. With this microscope, it is possible to examine both ready-made slides included in kits and samples prepared independently. It is the perfect tool for a first introduction to the microcosm, as it allows simple scientific experiments to be carried out directly at home. It will be an excellent assistant for biology studies at school. The kit includes everything needed for observations, including accessories and the colorful educational book 'Invisible World'.

The optical system consists of achromatic objectives and a wide-field eyepiece. All lenses are made of optical glass, therefore they produce a sharp and contrasted image. The microscope allows observation of small components across the entire magnification range. The 40x objective is equipped with a retractable spring protective mechanism. The monocular head can be tilted at 30°, to avoid eye strain when working at the microscope for long periods.

The stage is equipped with specimen clips and a disc diaphragm with six apertures to regulate the light beam. The microscope uses dual LED illumination, positioned both above and below the stage. This allows study of samples with any degree of transparency. The illumination is powered by standard batteries, included in the kit.

Additionally, the microscope is sold together with the educational book 'Invisible World'. This colorful book explains all the complexities one will encounter while using the instrument, such as the parts that make up the microscope and their functions, what bacteria and protozoa look like, what can be seen in a drop of water, and much more, always using clear and simple language. Besides theoretical aspects, the book also describes interesting experiments that can be conducted at home using the Discovery Nano microscope.
