STUDENT MICROSCOPES

The microscopes below are specially designed for students, and make good teaching tools. Student
microscopes are classified as high power (compound) and low power (stereo & dissecting). Compound
microscopes highly magnify thin specimen sections mounted on microscope slides. They are ideal for
observing cells and cell structure. Almost every student will use a 400x or 1000x compound microscope to
study biology and life science. Stereo & dissecting microscopes have lower magnifications of 10 to 80x, and
are designed for viewing whole objects like rocks, insects, flowers, and dissection specimens. They are
important for advanced nature studies and ideal for young children since an object can be viewed without slide
preparation.

To make it easier for you to choose the correct microscope for your level, our student microscopes are
organized into three groups: elementary school, high school and university microscopes.
