This student microscope (40x to 400x) has a mechanical stage with fine adjustment and is designed for young scientists, students and hobbyists. The monocular compound biological microscope pairs good optics with a durable, easy-to-use design, including a built-in carrying handle and dual LED lighting, so it works well for classroom learning and home science experiments.

A mechanical stage holds the specimen slide securely and moves it smoothly along the X-axis (left to right) and Y-axis (forward and back) using control knobs. At higher power (like 40x or 100x), even a tiny nudge from your finger can push the specimen right out of view. The mechanical knobs allow very small movements, so you don't lose your subject.

Key Features

  • Dual LED lighting: Built-in top (reflected) and bottom (transmitted) LED lights let you view both translucent biological slides and solid objects like leaves or coins.
  • Easy to carry: A carrying handle built into the arm makes it safe and easy for younger users to move.
  • Optical glass lenses: Achromatic glass lenses give clear, sharp, colour-corrected images.
  • Flexible power: Runs on a standard power adapter or cordless battery power, so it's portable enough for field study.
  • Mechanical stage: Holds the slide securely and moves it along the X and Y axes with control knobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why the handle in the arm?

So learners carry it properly. A microscope picked up by the head or the stage is a microscope that gets dropped.

What does the tension control on the focus do?

It sets how stiff the coarse knob feels, which stops the stage drifting down on its own between lessons.

Can it be used outside the classroom?

Yes. It runs on AA batteries as well as the 240 V adapter.

What can learners see at 400x?

Cheek cells, onion skin, prepared tissue slides and pond organisms. That covers most Natural Sciences and junior Life Sciences work.
