Tiny Telescope

Tiny Telescope
Instead of TiVo-ing a few episodes of Discovery's 'Planet Earth' series and calling yourself a nature lover, get out there and experience it for yourself! Enhance your live-action viewing pleasure with the diminutive Makroskop MS 82x5 from MINOX, which pulls double duty as both a telescope and microscope. In telescope mode, the $230 water-proof handheld wonder boasts a field of view of 375 feet. With just a turn of the lens, the unit becomes a microscope capable of 8X magnification.

When zookeepers eventually chase you out of the monkey cage, rest assured that the scope's rugged, rubberized exterior will protect it from damage should you drop it while running.
