Glass achromatic objectives minimizes aberration and last longer.About MicroscopesMicroscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. 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. AmScope has been manufacturing microscopy equipment and accessories since 1996, headquartering in Irvine, CA.Packing List:A great portable LED microscope!

  • Live louse at 40x and 100x
Style: Microscope
The media could not be loaded. This is a louse that was found on my daughter's head. All the lice are now dead and my daughter is fine! This video was taken by holding a video camera up to the eyepiece of our AmScope model M100C-LED, so the actual view using your eye isn't so tunneled. We set the louse on top of a prepared slide, which is the pink material in the first part of the video. It was on its back, so you can see it moving its legs. The first nine seconds of this video is at 40x, and the rest is at 100x. We looked at the louse at 400x also, but I couldn't get decent video at that magnification. If you really want photo or videos, consider a different microscope with a built-in camera. This was a neat, educational, and gross way to show my daughter what was actually crawling around on her head. We also looked at nits and at another louse where you could see the blood inside its body at 100x and 250x, but we didn't take video of that. No complaints with the microscope at all; it's solidly built and of good quality all around. I expect it to last for many years of use. ... show more

  • Awesome!
Style: Microscope
The media could not be loaded. I've bought multiple microscopes at thrift stores over the years, and invariably only the smallest magnification was clean enough to be able to see. I decided to spring for a new one, and boy am I happy. A few things you should know: 1) There was a review from someone whose little girl's eyes were damaged because the light was too bright. I can totally see how that could have happened, as small children aren't capable to noting when damage is occurring. When using the lowest magnifications, you will definitely want to lay a tissue across the light. But that strong light is your friend on the higher magnifications, which is one of the things that makes this microscope so awesome. 2) For older viewers (like me), you should expect that as you increase power, it's also magnifying all your floaters and even your cataracts, so on the higher magnifications, you may find it hard to see what's on the slide through what's on your eyes. Bummer. So do yourself a favor and go ahead an order a cell phone adapter mount. I just ordered one. The video I attached was just holding the phone by hand, which is harder than you'd think, thus why you see the light and shadow around the edges. But you don't get the floater magnification when you're looking at the cell phone. 3) Do note that this is just the microscope, so order some slides and slip covers. 4) I did some research before purchasing, and found an article about why microscope lenses go bad, and without going into too much detail, I also bought some color changing desiccant packets to put under the slip cover. Lesson learned: dark and moist = trouble. So keep it where it get's some like, and keep it super dry. The other thing I learned with research is that compound scopes have much clearer views, which is why this is such a good one. 5) I'm not too keen on the highest magnification, which I think requires oil, as it has to basically be touching the slide. But between the two eye pieces, and the other two opticals, it is more than adequate for the job. The attached video is with the 25x eye piece with the 10x optical. ... show more

  • Love it! Can easily see human sperm
Style: Microscope
Fantastic microscope. We use this to check the success of a vasectomy reversal. It gives a great view and has a really bright light. It's a heavy microscope too - feels sturdy.

  • Microscope for home school
Style: Microscope
We're Home schooling some boys grade equivalents 6-8. They can be rough on things so I didn't want a plastic toy and I wanted plenty of magnification to see what we can see. This microscope did not disappoint me. Knowing that many if not all of the lesser microscopes offered have plastic "lenses" this 'scope's "optical glass lenses" appealed to me. Images are sharp and clear. Light is provided by either batteries (3ea/AAA) or a wall outlet and there is a well placed easily manipulated switch on the base. You can drag this thing along on a field trip if you wanted to though I can't imagine why you would. The frame/body is all metal as advertised. The bottom cover is plastic but that's of no consequence. This unit is made in China and I don't buy the $450 value claim one bit. But it's well worth the $90+ shipping which can be avoided if you want to use an Amazon offer. But I bought the scope and an Amscope 50 pc prepared slide box and altogether my shipping was only $4something. I don't know what yours would be. The scope came with a transformer and 2 WF view finders though I have not yet figured out how to install the second. It is different from the one that came installed. One person reported their scope came badly packed. Not mine. The instrument came in a thick, fitted Styrofoam box, inside of a cardboard box that was packed in yet another box along with the additional prepared slides I'd purchased in a padded container with the extra spaces filled with large bubble packs. It arrived in fine condition and everything tight. Harking back to not knowing how to install that second view finder, the "instructions" (I can hardly call them that) are something less than useless as another reviewer reported. That is why I only gave 4 stars to this. Consider the instrument itself 5/star. But, if I used a microscope in school, and I most likely did, it was so long ago I cannot recall it. Therefor the lack of instructions are a bit aggravating. I decided against forking out the money for a book about it figuring (rightly it turns out) there's plenty of free information available on the web. But, purchasers of this scope should be prepared to do one or the other. A final word. In doing the web research, I discovered that magnification for the 1000x might want immersion oil but to beware that it is not for all lenses and there's nought to tell you yea or nay on this scope. There's a toll free number on the paperwork so I called it. I am happy to report there were no recordings and a gen-u-ine live hu-man being actually answered the phone.(8^o I quickly got my answer, it's fine to use the oil if necessary. So +1 for customer service. That wraps this up. I tried to make it useful rather than just glib praise or complaint. I hope it's of use to someone out there. ... show more
