AmScope Review

AmScope.com has a clean, easy to follow navigation and has some of the best prices and a solid selection among the microscope stores reviewed here. They do an excellent job of explaining the uses of each type, especially in the student area.

The most attractive feature at this site is perhaps their 7-day trial period during which you can test out your purchase and if you decide it's not for you, return it for a full refund.

AmScope.com is a straightforward operation offering high quality, warranted microscopes for all levels of users. Among microscope stores reviewed here, this seems to be a solid service.

Make sure you read reviews of our top microscope store selections: Microscope.com, Amazon.com and Microscope World.

LabX Review

Ten or twenty years ago you would probably turn to the classified ads to buy or sell used cars, furniture or other goods. In the information age, we're more likely to turn to the internet. Ebay has become the online marketplace for LPs, cell phones, video games, furniture and just about any other item you can think of.

Site Features: 

LabX will be familiar to anyone who has visited Ebay. Sellers post auctions and would be customers place their maximum bids. But, bidding on an auction item can be a time consuming affair. Much like Ebay, a very large portion of the items available on LabX aren't up for auction, but are instead sold at a fixed price. LabX also runs simple product postings similar to what you'd find in the classified ads section of a newspaper.

Microscope Depot Review

Microscope Depot is a mom and pop outfit compared to some of the larger microscope stores out there. You won't find prestigious hobbyist brands represented in their inventory. But, despite their relatively small stature on the national microscopy stage, Microscope Depot manufactures and sells quality machines and accessories for reasonable prices. 

Site Features: 

Microscope-depot.com is coherently organized and makes finding what you need a simple matter of navigating the sidebar. We were impressed with the amount of detail supplied with every product. You get a solid grasp of the microscope you're considering thanks to complete tech specs. Product pages also link to relevant accessories like lenses, polarizer kits, mounts, adapters, filters, etc.

Nikon Review

When you think of Nikon the first thing that comes to mind is probably not microscopes, but for more than ninety years this company has been a leader in the optical instrumentation industry. Nikon Instruments offers a wide range of products suitable for anyone from curious high school chemistry student to a professional biologist studying tissue cell regeneration. Nikon is one of the best microscope stores for customers demanding the best equipment available.

Site Features:

The Nikon Instruments website is very easy to use. The layout is not cluttered and the amount of information offered for each product is impressive. Each product identifies a variety of applications it is suited for, including chemical biology, biophysics, marine biology and regenerative studies. Key features are also listed such as imaging speed, light detection efficiency, and available software options.

Microscope Stores Review

Olympus is a company known more for digital cameras than microscopes. Nevertheless, they know their optics, regardless of the product. Olympus sells high-end products geared mostly towards professional applications. For that reason, their site may seem a little confusing and difficult to use; it's not made for the average consumer.

Site Features:

The actual sales features of the site are minimal to nonexistent. As mentioned above, you don't order through the site and you can't even see pricing for the microscopes. Instead you are directed to a sales representative in your area that can quote prices to you and help you place orders. Visit some of our other top-ranked microscope stores to make an immediate purchase.

OpticsPlanet Review

If you're in the market for a new or used microscope, OpticsPlanet.com should be on your short list of microscope stores to visit before you make a purchase. As the name implies, OpticsPlanet.com specializes in everything related to light and lenses. In addition to a huge selection of eyewear, telescopes, binoculars, camera lenses and specialized equipment, OpticsPlanet.com has an impressive array of microscopes available.Site Features:

Among online microscope stores the layout of OpticsPlanet.com can be overwhelming. The sheer amount of information, bolded keywords and menus squeezed onto their homepage might lead to some eyestrain, but after you find their microscopes portal you shouldn't have any problems. Products are searchable by price, brand and type.

OpticsPlanet

Biology students, garage scientists and academics will all want to make a stop at Microscopes.com (not to be confused with Microscope.com) for microscopes, accessories, supplies and lab equipment. You won't find high-end, military grade electron microscopes at Microscopes.com, but for the hobbyist, enthusiast or generally curious, this site offers a wide variety of microscopes for fair prices among online microscope stores.

Olympus sells high-end products geared mostly towards professional applications. For that reason, their site may seem a little confusing and difficult to use; it's not made for the average consumer. You can't just go on the site, find a microscope that appeals to you and order it. In order to even get a price quote, you actually have to contact a local representative.

Amazon Review

Site Features:  
Despite reputable brand name microscopes being included on their site, Microscope World doesn't allow you to browse microscopes by brand or manufacturer. Equally irritating, is the fact that you can't sort items by price. These are minor complaints however, as the site prioritizes microscope type—you can browse microscopes by types without a problem. We would hope that Microscope World will be updating their site to a more Web 2.0 format in the near future.

Secure shopping, easy returns and free exchanges are just a few of the perks of shopping at Microscope.com. Their bundled packages are great for purchasing starter kits – they include a microscope and stand and start at $199.

Omano, Meiji Techno, Motic, Dino-Lite and Optixcam are the main brands here.


Microscope World Review

Students, clinical professionals, gemologists and hobbyists will all appreciate Microscope World's rich inventory of microscopes. Microscope World offers everything from entry-level stereo microscopes to sophisticated digital microscopes outfitted to link up with your computer. Thanks to an easy-to-navigate site, great stock and committed customer support, we had no qualms about making Microsoft World theTopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award winner in our microscope stores review.

Nikon E200 Compound Biological Microscope Set w/ 4X-10X-40X MV MCA752BB

 The Nikon E200 Multi Voltage Microscope Set w/ 4x-10x-40x MCA752BB is a built-to-last, top-quality biological microscope ideal for basic laboratory use or educational purposes. Powered by Nikon 's CFI60 optics, the E200 Educational Microscope produces stunningly sharp and clear images at any magnification. 
iving in Australia, I recently purchased a Nikon E200 microscope from OpticsPlanet and was most impressed with their competitive pricing and outstanding level of service. Anyone contemplating the purchase of a Nikon E200 should firstly be aware that the microscope is designed and fitted with infinity-corrected optics. This means that any future purchase of additional eyepieces or objectives must be selected from the Nikon range. Unfortunately, there is no international standard for infinity-corrected lenses; Nikon-Zeiss-Leica-Olympus lenses are not interchangeable. Conventional non-infinity-corrected lenses cannot be used. Anyone expecting the legendary quality associated with the Nikon brand will be sadly disappointed with E200. The microscope is totally manufactured in China and there are noticeable design faults and lapses in the quality control. Firstly the good news; the optical quality up to 100x is pin-sharp. At 400x the image deteriorates. The uniformity of the variable halogen ..

Celestron Digital Microscope w/ 3.5 inch LCD Screen Integrated 2.0 MP Digital Camera 44340


Microscope w/ 3.5 inch LCD Screen Integrated 2.0 MP Digital Camera 44340 will be showcased in '08 Consumer Electronics Show. This Celestron Microscopes has an integrated 3.5-inch LCD screen for viewing subjects as well as three magnification levels with 40x, 400x, with 4x digital zoom you get 1600x along and a six position color filter wheel.
I was quite surprised by how much value I got for the price. The LCD screen is very clear, the focusing is easy and the depth of focus is better than most scopes that I used in college many years ago. I'm older now and have some vision issues in the form of vitreous floaters and begining cataracts. Looking through standard eyepieces exaggerates the floaters to where they are quite annoying. The LCD screen is wonderful and there is no trouble from the floaters at all! The quality of the images is great and the same goes for the printed pictures of what you are viewing. For the casual microscope user, especially if you have any vision problems, this is the neatest scope I've ever used. It's very well made and should give years of use. I especially like the ease of using the slide holder with the vernier position adjuster knobs. It also comes with a rigid case to protect it when not in use or for traveling. All in all I'm very pleased.

This Carson Microscope also allows for slides to be placed over the base, making it great for viewing leaves and other flat objects. 
Bought two for my scattered grand children. I have a professional microscope but the kids just can't see. Think Thurber's funny story on microscopes. With this one they are enthralled with all the small things they can see; newspaper print, dust, onion skin. They want to look at everything. Plus, I am enjoying it too! The best money I've spent for a learning tool in a long time. Highly recommended.

I find it a value for the money. More exotic digital magnifiers can cost $300+ way over my budget. I altered the focal point by using a dixie cup with the bottom cut out. Elevated the stamp with three quarters and the whole stamp came into view

Combining top-notch and uncompromising quality with an affordable price, the UNICO Monocular / Student Microscopes M250 can fulfill your laboratory needs while still offering a great value for the money. 
This was my first time using the LED light source vs. the higher intensity bulbs, and there was a bit of a learning curve. There are times under high magnification while using contrast that it seems as if the bulb is a bit underpowered, but once I got used to it there was no problem. I love the fact that I can charge it and use it without the cord in the way. I would say the pro's highly outweigh the cons and would recommend this scope in a heartbeat!

Double focusing regulation, micrometrical and macrometrical, movable stage with micrometric movements. 
My Grandson has been very pleased with the microscope. I am still upset about being charged shipping fees when the product was clearly bundled with a slide product that was shipped later since the slides were not available when the microscope was shipped.

Konus 5601 Biorex2 Microscope for biological studies comes with two wide field eyepieces. 
This is a fairly strait forward setup. Not much assembly required. It comes with cleaner papers. I recommend getting lens cleaner spray to. Most microscopes are very sensitive to dust. I use mine for studding bacteria, and the images are very clear and often breath taking. It takes a little time to learn how to focus. I wish they would tell me which objective oil works best but the manufacture has not gotten back to me on that.

Reviews - Celestron LCD Deluxe Digital Microscope 44345

The Celestron LCD Deluxe Digital Microscope is Celestron's first digital LCD microscope with a 3.5" touch screen panel that is also rotatable 180 for sharing the view on the screen. With the huge success of touch screen technology, Celestron has incorporated the feature into this microscope. 
I'm a homebrewer and I use this microscope for my yeast culturing processes. With this I can count the yeast viability and take photos all in one package. It has the capabilities of seeing Lactobacillis as well! Another great use I have for it is to verify there is no contaminants in my yeast slurry after I acid wash them for repropagating and sustaining protocols. I highly recommend this microscope for all homebrewers.
