He&#8217;s always exploring things &#8211; asking to use his grand fathers magnifying glass so he can get a better look at a particularly interesting bug or rock.  So why not get him a microscope?<\/p>\n<p>Who knows- I&#8217;ve got 4 nephews on my side of the family, and I think at least two them would enjoy  microscopes as a gift.  I was visiting Optics Planet and that&#8217;s where I got the idea. They carry  brand name microscopes of all types from  simple microscopes suitable for a child, right up to scientific stereo, compound, digital, photo or video camera microscopes.  Its a huge assortment.  Take a look at their huge selection of microscopes and microscope accessories including all types of loupes magnifiers.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>I can picture kids, hobbyists, high school students, and medical students being thrilled with the gift of a microscope. Optics Planet has such a variety of microscopes that they have started a new site www.microscopes.com that while it&#8217;s still in the works, is open for business.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>If you like my idea you&#8217;ll love the deal that optics planets has right now- you could save up to 70% off, and they offer Free UPS on orders over $29.95, extended warranties, and a no hassle holiday return policy.
