Product Details
This beginner microscope for kids and young adults features high-grade glass optics with a magnification range of 40x to 400x, allowing users to observe a variety of specimens such as stamps, microscopic organisms, crystal structures, and metallurgical samples. The microscope is equipped with both top and bottom LED illumination, making it suitable for viewing translucent and opaque objects, including ultra-thin tissue samples, plant leaves, and insects. It operates on batteries, providing portability, and has user-friendly controls for easy operation. The 3-lens turret allows for quick switching between 4x, 10x, and 40x objective lenses, while the specimen stage includes two clips for securing slides or other objects. Focus adjustments are made using a large knob on either side of the microscope, and the lighting can be switched via a back-mounted switch. An aperture wheel under the stage aids in optimizing the bottom light to enhance specimen detail. The kit includes five prepared slides and a variety of tools for creating custom slides: a petri dish for liquid samples, five blank slides and cover slips for mounting thin-section specimens, an easy-to-use microtome for specimen slicing, red and blue stains for enhancing contrast, a vial, stirring rod, and pipette for preparing wet-mount slides, and tweezers for handling delicate specimens.
