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 since 1996, headquartering in Irvine, CA.Features & Specifications45 Degree Inclined 360 Degree Swiveling Sliding Binocular HeadMechanical Stage with Stain Resistant Finish for Easy Slide Gliding ControlSeparate Coarse & Fine FocusingFully Coated Optical System with High ResolutionCrystal Clear Sharp ImagesHigh Quality Professional Grade MicroscopeGreat for Clinics, Vets, Doctors, StudentsFour Levels of Magnification: 40X, 80X, 100X, 200X, 400X, 800X,1000X & 2000XUpward Stage Stopper to Protect Slides and ObjectivesAbbe Condenser with Iris Diaphragm & FiltersBuilt-In Illumination SystemFocusing Control Knobs on Both SidesFull Optical Glass ElementsAll Metal Mechanical ComponentsPrecise Ground Glass LensAdjustable Interpupillary DistanceAdjustable Diopter on OcularsSolid Metal Frame Construction with Stain Resistant Enamel FinishNosepiece: quadrupleHead: 45 degree inclined sliding binocularInterpupillary Distance: 2-3/16 inch - 3-0 inch (55 - 75mm)Wide-field Eyepiece: WF10X/18 and WF20XAchromatic Objectives: 4X, 10X, 40X (spring) and 100X (spring,oil).Stage Dimensions: 4-5/16 inch x 4-3/4 inch (110x120mm)Abbe Condenser: NA=1.25 with iris diaphragm & filterIllumination: tungsten lamp, 110V/20WAccessories: dust cover, green & blue filters, and a bottle of immersion oilManufactured under ISO 9001 Quality Control StandardExcellent (5) year factory warranty Compare ProductsB100B-MS ASIN:B004UMDLAAB340B ASIN:B007RFIOV8B600A ASIN:B005747V0QB660C ASIN:B007RFIYZEB690C-PL ASIN:B00ANT9OBOAchromatic✓✓✓Infinity Achromatic✓Infinity Plan Achromatic✓LED Illumination✓Tungsten Illumination✓Halogen Illumination✓✓✓Backward Nosepiece✓✓✓✓Two-layer Mechanical Stage✓✓✓✓

Review: Ideal microscope for home use - I'm a research scientist and know high quality microscopes in my lab and even for the classroom are pricey. This is a very economical microscope that is of excellent quality. My kids and I have had a blast looking at pond water (algae, paramecium, round worms), small ticks (Here we used it to see if the entire tick was removed...it was), molds (hyphae and spores), budding yeast, etc. My ten year-old is picking up a lot of info and my 4 year-old is also enjoying it...who knows how much he is picking up and who cares, he's engaged. I am making the slides, finding the items, and focusing, all that will come with time for the kids. I did not find it difficult to assemble, but I have some experience there. It seemed pretty intuitive to me. It came in about 4 parts that were preassembled (body, stage, eye piece unit, slide holder). The light is very bright/effective, even at 100x and it comes with one replacement bulb. There is a lever to control the light passing up through the lenses. Not sure why one would want to use the color filters...these remain in the styrofoam packaging. All four objectives are excellent and you can use either the 10x or 20x eyepieces, which are also clear. I got tired of waiting for the university sales where they sell their old microscopes. Getting a new 'scope is even better! You will need microscope slides and cover slips, but those are also easy to find on desertcart. It comes with immersion oil for the 100x objective. It does not come with lens paper or cleaning solution to remove the oil off the lens or for general maintenance of the lenses.
Review: Nice scope. Happy with it. It's not a high end scope so treat it gently. - I got this scope because I've always wanted one. My school never had this kind of equipment.(They didn't have computers til long after I'd left either!) Anyway, this is an awesome toy and tool of discovery. It's amazing how things look even at the lower magnifications. House dust, sugar, salt, a drop of water from the pond, this scope handles all of that like a champ. In fact, images up to 400x are generally striking, and vivid. With this scope, I have resolved things down to less than a micron, seen all kinds of pond life, including diatoms and other algae, tardigrades, worms, tiny crustaceans, book lice, ants and even cyanobacteria.The 100x objective, the oil objective, delivers light and magnification nicely even through the 20x eyepieces. beware though, spiders are tiny horror movies up close. Don't look at bugs unless you REALLY like to be grossed out! There was a youtube video for this line of scopes, so I watched it. Very succinct. See the video. It teaches you the basics of setting up and using the scope. The components generally look and feel like decent quality items. It feels sturdy and it looks good. I also recommend picking up a pair of 5x WideField eyepieces. Often, using a lower magnification can get you what you're looking for so much faster than a higher one. 5x eyepieces get you down to a 20x minimum magnification, which has turned out to be very useful. Now, for a couple of negatives: - The mechanical stage quickly (within a week) started to get sloppy and show a lot of play in it. Also, it does not sit flat on the stage. Because it does not stay perfectly flat against the stage, it does not hold slides well and once the slide actually got stuck under the mechanical stage, which probably just makes it worse. I discovered that the washer used under the hold-down screw for the mechanical stage could not possibly be to spec, because it simply did not fit flush in the hole, which allowed the mechanical stage to wobble sightly. I put in an appropriately sized washer which seems to have improved things to a tolerable level. I just keep aware of how delicate the rig really is. - The 40x objective does not seem to gather quite enough light, and it seems a little blurry when used with the 20x eyepieces, but, I understand that at higher resolutions, optics start to show their flaws. It's probably unreasonable to expect much more than what Amscope delivers at this price point. The 100x, when used with oil, delivers light and magnification pretty nicely even through the 20x eyepieces. Totally impressive, but, see this next thing first... - The immersion oil they send with, is tree oil. Cedar or pine or one of those. If you are new to microscopy, throw that stuff away. It's not worth the potential damage an untrained hobbyist is likely to do if s/he forgets to clean it off the lens! Get some synthetic oil. The good stuff smells like good engineering :) Cedar oil smells nicely, sure, but trust me, spend the extra $5 or $10 and get some good synthetic immersion oil even (or especially), if you will only occasionally use the 1000x and 2000x settings. If the cedar oil crusts up on your lens, you'll need a powerful solvent to clean it off. There you go. Nice scope. Happy with it. It's not a high end scope so treat it gently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny
*by K***S on December 25, 2011*

I have worked with microscopes in numerous college level classes and this Microscope rivals any I have used. Santa brought this for my 7 year old son this year. OK, I know a little odd for a 7 year old by my wife teaches Science and we are both lovers of it so Santa figured we would help him. A microbiologist may know the difference between this and a $2,000 microscope but I sure don't. I found nothing wobbly about it, solid construction, wonderful optics including a oil immersion lens. The instructions actually recommend you DON'T put it together yourself but having worked with microscopes over the years I was able to get it together in about 5 minutes (Be cautious not to introduce dust into the optics). If this is your first introduction to them I may recommend having someone assist you in putting it together and showing you the basics. From there it is not complicated at all, though you should buy yourself a good book on the field and a slide making kit. I love the mechanical stage which allows you to scan the field with ease. I can't wait to get some pond water and start yanking hairs out of my head.
