AmScope’s EduPro Series sets the benchmark for professional-grade educational microscopes, combining precision optics with durable construction and a contemporary design. Specifically crafted for schools, universities, and advanced training programs, EduPro microscopes are built to deliver years of reliable use, making them an ideal investment for science classrooms and teaching laboratories.
Perfect for introductory through advanced biology, this compound microscope gives students the tools they need to explore cell morphology, study microorganisms, and perform detailed slide work with clarity and consistency. Its robust build quality and ergonomic design support daily use in busy academic environments while providing a premium experience for both instructors and students.
Binocular Viewing Head
The binocular head is designed for comfort and efficiency, allowing students and researchers to work for longer periods without eye strain. Its 30° incline and interpupillary adjustment range (48–75mm) make it easy to customize for individual users, supporting shared classroom use.
Precision Stage and Controls
Featuring a double-layer mechanical stage with smooth X-Y translation, this microscope ensures accurate specimen navigation for detailed study. Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with adjustable tension control provide precise focusing while allowing instructors to set the resistance level for different user preferences. The low-position controls create an intuitive, streamlined workflow ideal for both novice and experienced users.
Bright, Professional Illumination
Equipped with a 3W variable-intensity LED illumination system, this model produces crisp, evenly lit images across all magnifications. Its pre-centered Abbe condenser (NA 1.25) with iris diaphragm is optimized for contrast and resolution and is oil-immersion compatible for high-magnification studies.
