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. The company, founded in 1996, is headquartered in Irvine, CA.What's in the Box?(50) Prepared slidesFitted wooden case

  • Quality Variation of Slides for An Interested Person
Style: Set
I purchased these slides for my 9 year old daughter for this Christmas; however, I took the liberty of taking them out of the box and "playing" with them for a good while to check out their quality. This is really an excellent set of slides that provides a good mix of biology and pathology slides of plants, insects, and animals. I actually am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the prepared slides, particularly since the price wasn't that expensive when you really look at prepared slides. The value and quality well exceeds the cost of these particular slides. Each slide is labeled with what it is showing, and is numbered according to the slot in the box, and a provided piece of paper supplied in the box. My paper wasn't attached to anything so I will have to laminate it or else it will be destroyed in less than a week. You get what you are looking at in the picture, and what is described. If you are interested in additional information on WHAT the slides portray, as far as why a particular thing is shaped the way it is, you either have to look at another source or just look it up on the Internet. As far as the wooden case, it seems to be of solid construction, but I haven't had it long enough to honestly review it's durability. Overall, I am extremely pleased with these slides. Now I have a Microbiology/RN back round so I may be slightly biased in my review, but I would really recommend these slides. I definitely would purchase them again without hesitation. ... show more

  • Excellent slides. Great samples and staining...colorful
Style: Set
I've been a lab scientist for nearly 30 years, and these are good slides. I finally put these under the microscope last week when my granddaughter came over...she's a little 7-year-old brainiac. They are very beautifully stained and colorful. I've made biological slides myself with mounting medium and it can be a mess, but these are great with no bubbles trapped under the cover slips, nice thin sections, not smashed or distorted....beautifully stained. Very neatly labeled. Great sample of various 'things to look at'. No sharp edges on slides. In no time, granddaughter was taking them out of the very nice quality wooden slide box, putting them on the scope, and putting them back when she was done. She looked at different structures in stem sections of different types of plants, stomach lining cells ( I explained they were 'wavy' so they would have more absorption surface) and insect parts. I skipped explaining the life-cycle of the Ascaris egg. As I said, all of the cross sections were extremely crisp with no distortion and beautifully stained. Definitely professional and well-done. A lot can go wrong when making slides...these were clean and very well prepared. This is a great option for teaching because there is no mess!! ... show more

  • Great for teachers!

These slides are awesome. Ii bought them for a microscope activity and kids were fascinated. Great amount for the price, and good quality slides too. Much better than buying at a science site.

  • Exellent learning tool
Style: Set
Excellent quality and everything we wanted. We have a young boy who we want to bring a little closer to the concept of the micro world. These slides have been a very good tool in helping us do that. The effort that had to have been put into making these had to be amazing and that makes this an incredible value. ... show more

  • AmScope 50 PC Zoology-Botany Prepared Microscope Slides
Style: Set
I bought this product for my 9 year old son to use with his new microscope, and he was amazed with the slides, the quality is great and the specimens are interesting for a 9 year old or an adult, not at all like other slides that are "toy quality". They arrived very well packaged, and the wood box is quite sturdy. ... show more

  • High quality, arrived intact, but oh so many greasy fingerprints.....
Style: Set
The slides arrived and were all intact inside a nice wooden storage box (My biggest fear was that some might arrive broken, but fortunately that did not happen.) The slides were all high quality and I would have given this set a 4 or even a 5 star rating, except that every slide had greasy fingerprints from whomever last handled them prior to packing and shipping. We had to sit and individually clean each slide prior to viewing. AmScope should require that the slides be cleaned prior to packing, and that gloves be worn by those workers handling them. ... show more
