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

    • Not a bad option. I'm sure there are better ones out there though
Pattern Name: Microscope Kit Style: A) White Microscope Kit
This microscope has been a solid purchase and works really well for the price point. The build feels sturdy, and the lenses provide clear, sharp images once properly adjusted. It’s great for casual use, school projects, and even some light hobby work. The adjustable focus is smooth, and the magnification levels are more than enough for basic viewing needs. That said, it isn’t perfect. The lighting could be a little brighter, and the instructions weren’t as detailed as I would have liked, which made the first setup a bit tricky. Still, once everything is in place, it performs very reliably. Overall, this is a great microscope for beginners and hobbyists who want good quality without spending a fortune. ... show more

    • Great at what it's designed for
Pattern Name: Microscope Kit Style: A) White Microscope Kit
Great beginner microscope. I suspect that the majority of the low reviews for this microscope are from people that either have little microscope experience or were expecting it to do things it was never designed to do. I have a degree in biology (although I'm not employed in a biological field), so I have plenty of experience using lab quality microscopes. This microscope produces a reasonable level of clarity and magnification. Children will be able to see individual cells, and even nuclei. Yes, it can be a little bit hard to focus at times since there is no fine adjustment, only coarse, and yes, your field of view does move a bit while adjusting it. But again, this is a $40 microscope made for kids. This is more than good enough to introduce your child (or even adults) to the world of microscopy. The kit is great, and will give the user plenty of things to do with the microscope. A few prepared slides, and tools to make some simple slides of your own are included, along with the brine shrimp kit. I was pleasantly surprised by what this microscope can do, and can't wait to give it to my daughter for the holidays (I took it out of the box and tested it first due to some of the bad reviews on here). If you are inexperienced with microscopes, here are a few tips: make sure that what you are trying to view is in the center of the aperture (where the light comes through), and always start on the lowest magnification. ... 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
