Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope.

So I bought this as a gift for my niece and nephews we have been doing various science experiments and we've gotten to biology. My niece and nephews range from 3-year-olds to a 10-year-old. The oldest took to it very well and was able to use it on his own the littler ones needed assistance and couldn't really get the microscope to work properly. I was able to focus it and find the specimens under the microscope for them so they could look at it. They absolutely loved finding things in the backyard putting them on the slides and getting to see them underneath the microscope. I even tested the water in my turtle tank hence that nice little creature in one of the images. I would like to purchase more of these so each kid can have their own. But the microscope itself feels cheap. The body itself I think it is metal but it just feels so light. The actual neck of the microscope is plastic so are the dials to move it up and down and the light housing is plastic as well. That being said for the price and how amazing it actually works it's great. This was meant as just a small project for me and my nephews and niece and has only got them excited to do more. When they are older I might invest in a more high quality microscope but for anybody who is looking to do small experiments with children just for the fun of it this was an amazing buy. You have all the tools you need to get started and look at some small things. It gives you a few pre-made slides so you already have something to look at. The next addition we are going to get is to purchase some petri dishes and grow bacteria so that we can look at them underneath this microscope. For the price and the item that you get I could not be happier I would suggest purchasing if you have kids who are curious or you want to do some little STEM projects with them as well. It's a great starter for a cheap price to introduce them. ... show more

Excellent choice for my great nephew's 6th birthday. The slides aren't glass so are durable for children. Several slides are prepared with familiar samples. Great family science experiences ahead

    • Great Idea of a Gift But Too Many Unknowns As Yet
Pattern Name: Microscope Kit Style: A) White Microscope Kit
I am gifting a couple of these microscopes for Christmas to youngsters in my family who are 5 and 7. I don't know yet how this gift is going to be received by them and if it will do for them what I hope which is to arouse their curiosity and interest to explore the microscopic world on their own to the degree possible with such a microscope. In principle, the idea of this beginner microscope fits my litmus test for a giftable item to youngsters, because of its exploratory and educational value. Whether it will grab their interest is another matter altogether, and remains to be seen. Whether this microscope is worth the price or is more hype than substance is also another unknown. I will return to this review later and edit as needed. Happy Holidays. ... show more

I got this for my daughter for Christmas next month. I thought I would give it a try since I saw all these bad reviews. This is an amazing microscope for the price and works really well. I have a history of working with them and found it very easy to find the samples on the slides. They also showed up really nicely. The key it to start with the smallest magnification (300), once you have found your sample and focused on it then attempt using the higher magnifications. Some of the slides are not meant to be seen with the highest magnification. Also be sure to clean all slides before viewing as all of ours had dust on them. It will be harder to see anything with dust on the slide. The eye piece also needed to be cleaned because it was dusty. The microscope is metal, the stage is plastic with plastic clips. I did find it a bit annoying that I could not move the stage from side to side, so when viewing I had to move the slide its self. I have not used the hatchery or any of the other things as I am gifting this in a month. Even without using those items I am very pleased with this product. It was better then I could have imagined. I cant wait to make slides with my daughter and see what we can see. I have included some images I captured of each slide with my camera. These are not as clear as they are when viewing it through the scope with your eyes. However I wanted to show everyone that this microscope does indeed work. I found all of the samples with in a matter of minutes besides the corn root (blue slide with small round circles on it all in rows). The corn root is pale yellow, making it hard to see with the light shining on it. So I used the blue light filter to help bring it out better. I hope this helps you all feel more comfortable about making your decision with this brand. The carrying case is a nice plus too. ... show more

    • Much better image than i expected.
Pattern Name: Microscope Kit Style: A) White Microscope Kit
Works well. Much better then expected after reading the reviews. I think this is a good value and certainly has potential for use with children. This is not a perfect instrument or laboratory quality, but I was easily able to look at some prepared slides i bought as well as the slides that came with it. Key issue is to adjust the light, the amount of light, and to start at the lowest magnification. Do not try to use the high magnification first. Always start low, find the specimen and then increase with care. Understandably if you are not used to operating a microscope their will be a learning curve. I was with some care able to view with little problem up to 1200x magnification. At that power there is some issue adjusting the focus, light, and specimen. At low power 300x, it is much more forgiving but still you have to make adjustments carefully and slowly. It isn't frustrating to use. The rest of the kit is of reasonable quality. The case is very nice and fits all the components well and can be used to store the scope, etc for years of use. It also comes with a instruction manual that has some useful information regarding possible experiments and observations. Simple stuff that a kid can do. Some people have commented that the light is a problem. It is a bit fragile but turning it off is easy. Just rotate it to the mirror side and the light goes out saving the batteries. No problem there. I am very happy we got this for my 6 yr old and he is very happy too. ... show more
