FAQ

How long will shipping take?

> It may take up to a month to be delivered, though usually it's much less. We don't have much control over that, it's one of the compromises of drop shipping

Do you make these microscopes?

> No, we've tracked down some good vendors and everything gets drop shipped from them

Do you make money from this?

> Not currently, and I really can't imagine turning a profit. We add just enough margin to cover shipping and Shopify

Then why does this exist?

> A friend asked about microscopes for his children, and that started me on a long and expensive exploration of exactly why classic microscopes are boring and awkward. After months of experiments, I want to make sure that people get the right gear at the minimum of cost and stress, even if I have to design the parts myself. Wonder in nature and tiny life is priceless, and my childhood self would have been delighted by these scopes
