Product Description
Ideal For Your Budding Scientist
A comprehensive bundle of introductory materials and slide-preparation tools
It comes with two 10-piece slide kits, each with five biological specimens and five blank slides — great for an introduction to using microscopes. And when it’s time to prepare your own slides, there is a pack of 50 blank slide with 100 cover slips, red and blue specimen stains, and a slew of tools. To make things even better, we’ve included the book “The World of the Microscope” as an introduction to microscopy.
Easy-To-Use Affordable Quality Student Microscope
Awarded the Best Student Microscope
This microscope is perfect for academics in home school for students in elementary to high school. This versatile, dual-light microscope purposes as both a prime-powered and low-powered microscope for viewing larger objects, such as leaves and bugs and incredibly prime-detail viewing of ultra-small, translucent specimens like cells, and even the vascular systems of skinny leaves. And for more-opaque objects, like stamps, sand, or insects, the higher gentle supplies mirrored illumination.
- Optical glass monocular microscope with top & bottom LED lights
- 40X-1000X Five wide field magnifications
- Sturdy metal frame with coaxial coarse & fine focusing

The light sources use either an outlet (adapter included) or three AA batteries (included).
Coarse and fine focusing control
Sturdy metal frame with coaxial coarse & fine focusing. Focusing Control knobs on both sides.
Single Lens Condenser and Disc Diaphragm
Condenser: 0.65 NA single lens with 6-hole disc diaphragm

I am impressed with the quality of this scope for its price. The kit is wonderful and has everything they need as beginners to learn about using such an instrument. The optical quality is not up to a Japanese Nikon but that is not a fair comparison by any means. The reality is this scope is far better than one could expect for a device prices this low. It has exceeded my expectations and is certainly very good for a starter scope or a scope for a hobbyist on a budget just starting out.
The optics are fine. The included materials really add to the experience as you have everything you need to learn with and grow with. Its a bargain for what it costs. I would recommend it without hesitation and would buy it again without a second thought. Yes, a Japanese Nikon or other high end brand is better, but you will spend a ton more money to get into that class of scope. This baby will get you started and do a wonderful job.
I highly recommend this scope for its intended use and as a great value for its price.

Here's the deal. The glass slide covers are NOT SEALED! (see first pic for that package) These suckers are about an 1" square, and they come out and get bounced around. I had to carefully unpackage everything, wipe it down with paper towels (to grab the glass shards while also being disposable), and then dab spots with tap to get up some that were just stuck. Because the slide covers are so small and thin, and the microscope is encased in styrofoam, they stick like glue, almost! (see second pic, they slip down the side, broken pieces throughout) It took me almost an hour to unpack the items and clean up!
All that said, this microscope is WONDERFUL! It has a great deal of versatility and shows promise to intrigue budding scientists and young biologists alike. Honestly, minus the glass business, I want to buy one of these for myself!!! I've missed having a microscope on hand! And this one blends the balance of the different light exposures, allowing unique perspectives on translucent, semi-lucent, and opaque materials alike.
It is worth the price and then some! Just be VERY CAREFUL when you open this sucker! Personally, I ended up throwing all the packaging away, just because I could not get rid of every sliver (thought I was good until a sliver went into my finger!). Still, I don't think you'll find this kind of deal for this kind of microscope! It's worth the bit of discomfort!
