Everything from Bresser
Bresser is a German brand that makes optical instruments: telescopes, microscopes, binoculars and weather stations. Alongside the serious range for adults there is a junior line designed specifically for children.
Telescopes and microscopes
The junior telescopes are light, have a simple mount and are meant for looking at the moon and the planets, which is what makes the strongest impression the first time. The microscopes usually come with prepared slides and work up to around twelve hundred times.
What to look at when choosing
With a telescope the diameter of the lens or mirror matters more than the magnification quoted on the box: that is what decides how much light comes in, and therefore how much can actually be seen rather than guessed at.
