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.

  • Cute little kit
Color: Black
It is definitely for a child but its cute and my daughter loved it.

  • It's is not for the picky, prissy, scientist.
Color: Black
Cons: -the items that come with it are almost like kids pretend grocery toys, very flimsy -the case is no better than a cardboard box made of very thin plastic..very thin.. but it's about the scope -the zoom in/out knob moves the lens a little when using so you have to hold it -the lite is so Brite and you can't point it at the object..you have to obscure it a little -its a little tricky and might not be for someone that wants lab quality for $30...nor should it be. So idk if that's a con or pro Pros: - It works. With realism and patience. -the zooms work good. - the microscope is pretty good quality.. totally $30 worth. And perfect for what I wanted... -good price to have a microscope on hand in case you wanna get your science on. (Bought this for myself FYI) All in all.. I'm keeping it.. when I was in school the microscopes were amazing.. easy.. heavy.. and had a lot of cool stuff... But in the end the image is the same and that's what I wanted for a much much much lower price. Oh and when zooming in and out.. just put ur finger on the main part that moves up and down to keep it steady so u can keep ur position on the specimen (wanted to use that word) ...oh and the first pic is my blood... Hahaha.. creepy but I had to.. ... show more

  • Not meant for scientific research, but great for curious kids
Color: White
The case is nice. The slides are professional, and the pre-made slides are pretty cool. My brother and sister in law are middle school age and they enjoyed it very much. The "tools" are badly painted plastic, but the pipettes and other containers were good. Not the best microscope in the world, but you get what you pay for. It served the purpose we bought it for. ... show more

  • You get what you pay for
Color: White
I got this microscope for my daughter to help introduce her to science. It worked alright, but as you'd imagine it's a cheap microscope that's prone to focusing problems. I sort of knew that going in. If you're looking for a microscope to see if a kid under 10 will take more interest in science without dropping a lot of money, this will do. If you're looking for a microscope to impress a kid as a present, you'd be better off spending more for one of the bigger, fancier ones. ... show more

  • My 7 Yr Old Grandson Loves This Set And So Do I
Color: White
I was tired of giving video games to my grandson and wanted something to make him think and problem solve, I chose this set. It included everything he needed to get started, the slides, the batteries ,everything and the price was right. It's hard to find science related gifts anymore for kids but I was glad I found this. I couldn't have been any happier and he loves discovering stuff when he's using it. This is well worth the money and a big hit as a gift. ... show more

  • Good for 12& under
Color: Black
I expected more based on the reviews left, but I was disappointed. I was super excited for my 30ish year old self to remember how cool it was to see stuff under a microscope as I did in high school, but alas, it was disappointing. I followed that helpful reviewers tips in order to see the cells, and I started with the darkest/biggest one first, naturally, and I could see the cells, but there was only one part of the cells that wasn't terribly blurry. It's like it was going to be fine, but the scope couldn't focus enough. So it was blurry, and as I tried to adjust the neck of the scope (not touching anything but the knobs, as recommended), the whole neck of the scope would move. Still can't get a clear focus. I can see where it'd be good enough for the little ones, because you can certainly see definition of the cells, but I wanted a clean, crisp, clear view, and this product did not succeed. Disappointed, but motivated enough to drop some more bank to get a better one to match my expectations. ... show more

  • Good value
Color: Black
This little microscope does everything necessary for a fun and successful first foray into microscopic research. Our 7-year-old received it for Christmas and has had a wonderful time looking at the slides provided. It could be worthwhile considering purchasing a supplemental slide collection to provide your young scientist with some additional variety. She was impressed by all the bits and pieces of the "kit"; I appreciate that it all tucks away in a box for easy storage. The microscope itself works well -- she can successfully focus it herself. It is quite small and lightweight, which works well for us. A child who is harder on his or her toys might benefit from a tool that is a bit more sturdy. ... show more
