This student microscope (40x to 400x) with a mechanical stage is a popular compound biological microscope for education and hobby use. It has dual LED lighting for transmitted and reflected light, a fully working mechanical stage with vernier scales for precise slide movement, and a rotating monocular head, so users can explore a wide range of biological specimens with good stability and precision.

The microscope magnifies slides up to 400x and has two light sources: one LED in the base and one in the neck. It runs on the included AC adapter or three 1.5V batteries (not included), so students can use it in the field. A must-have for any student interested in microscopy.

The main benefit of a double-layer mechanical stage over a simple stage with clips is precise, controlled movement of your slide. X-Y coaxial knobs glide the slide left and right or forward and back, so you can make tiny adjustments without losing your field of view. A spring-loaded arm holds the slide firmly, which prevents finger smudges and dropped slides.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the vernier scales on the stage do?

They number the slide position, so a learner can write down where something is and find it again in the next lesson.

How is it different from the plain-stage student microscope?

Same 400x optics. This one adds the mechanical stage, so the slide moves on knobs instead of by hand under clips.

Does it work during a power cut?

Yes, on three 1.5 V batteries. The AC adapter is in the box for normal use.

What can it look at besides slides?

The top LED lights solid objects, so leaves, fabric, insects and coins all work.
