amscope reviews: 40X-2000X Biological Compound Microscope with Mechanical Stage
As a home-schooling mom of 6 I can't say enough about this scope. We have struggled with several under
$100 microscopes and I wish we would have started with this one. It is simple enough for our 4 year old to use
and advanced enough for our son in college. The mechanical stage is a definite plus making it easy to find all
sorts of creatures and to give coordinates for science assignments. This is better than the scope I used in
college and we have had a great time with it. I would recommend purchasing slides, a good how to guide etc
because you will quickly become addicted. Nothing beats the right tool to get the job done and all of a sudden,
science is the favorite class. We have studied parameciums to stem cuttings. The only thing I can think of that
makes this less than perfect is that I need a case. The desciption neglects to tell you what is included - 2 light
filters, a lighting iris diaphragm to control light levels, dust cover - in short it was more than I expected. Crystal
clear images and with some maneuvering we can get a 3d image.
The price can't be beat (especially with free shipping)- I HIGHLY recommend this scope and can't imagine a
kid not mesmerized examining his own blood,cheek cells, dust mites, algae, pond creatures, pollen, bees'
legs, flies' wings etc, etc

ReplyDeleteStereo Biological Microscopes has been especially designed for dissection/inspection of specimens in Biology.
Unfortunately, choosing the right professional stage lights can be overwhelming because of the many options available. Tammy
