Publisher's Description of Home LED Microscope
You may be wondering, "what is a good microscope for beginners?" or "what is the best microscope for students?". We understand that searching for a brand new microscope, or maybe even your first ever, can be an overwhelming task... which is why we're recommending one of our very favorite and best microscopes for you: our Home LED Microscope.
The Home LED Microscope is an excellent value and wonderful choice for beginners and students of all ages! With this home microscope, you'll get the same quality and features as other fine high-school-level microscopes, but at a much more affordable price. Its ease-of-use and high-quality components make it a great choice for students, science-lovers, and hobbyists of all ages!
Unlike a low-power stereo microscope, this compound microscope has total magnification levels of 40x, 100x, and 400x (which are standard on the best-quality high school microscopes). Its high power magnification levels and overall optical quality allow students to clearly see intricate cell details, giving them the most possible benefit from their microscope labs and independent discoveries. The sturdy and reliable mechanical construction of this home microscope is designed to withstand the rigor of heavy classroom use; it is truly a tool and an investment that will last a lifetime.
This home microscope features long-life, variable-intensity LED lighting, which provides a bright field of view and is cool enough for use with live specimens. Its objective lenses and 10x eyepiece lens work together to produce high magnifications that are excellent in quality, and its smoothly-rotating head makes it easy to share one microscope between two or more students. The precision fine and coarse focusing brings specimens into focus quickly and sharply, making your all-around microscopic experience all-around awesome.
When you comparison shop for a microscope, the specifications are usually very similar. But what the specifications can't tell you is the overall quality and reliability of the microscope. There are plenty of poorly manufactured low-cost microscopes on the market that look like a bargain - until you start using them!
The Home LED Microscope is different. First, it is built to our unique, high-quality standards. Then our experienced quality control specialists inspect and adjust every Home Microscope in our facility here to ensure it is perfect before we ship it to you. Finally, we back up our top quality commitment with a lifetime warranty on this Home Science Tools microscope. These extra steps do add some extra cost but are well worth it as they ensure you get an enjoyable-to-use, trouble-free microscope that will last a lifetime. Don't just take our word for this-read the product reviews and see what our customers have to say.
