Description

The AmScope SE306R-PZ-LED stereo microscope has interchangeable pairs of 10x18mm and 20x10mm widefield eyepieces, 2x and 4x objectives, upper and lower LED lighting, two stage plates, and a pillar stand. The forward-mounted binocular viewing head has an interpupillary range of 55 to 75mm and a 45-degree inclination to ease viewing for young users. The WF10x18mm and WF20x10mm eyepieces combine with the 2x and 4x objectives to provide 20x, 40x, and 80x magnification, and a longer working distance for inspecting large- scale specimens that require handling or repair. The optical glass lenses provide sharp images, and are fully coated to ensure high-resolution images. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences, and eye guards ensure comfortable viewing. A stereo microscope, sometimes called an inspection or dissection microscope, has low magnification and a long working distance that enables users to manipulate the object being inspected. The microscope has upper (episcopic) illumination that reflects light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque specimens, and lower (diascopic) illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. The LED light source provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens. The pillar-style stand secures the head for precise focusing, and bilateral coarse focus eases use for left- and right-handed users. The stage has a frosted stage plate for use with lower (transmitted) lighting, and a reversible black and white stage plate that provides contrast with light- and dark-colored specimens when used with upper (reflected) lighting. Stage clips that secure the specimen during viewing. The microscope has a 2-1/8" (53mm) working distance. All metal construction is durable and stain-resistant.

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.

  • Opps. Objective looks fine.
The 4X objective lens is NOT missing after all. MY mistake. Sorry

  • I use the 80x with middle and high school
The higher 80x power is a little tricky for younger kids. I use the 20-40x scopes for them. The higher the power, the smaller the field of view and the more patience it takes to get things in focus. This scope cannot easily be changed from a 20-40x to a 40-80x. You have to take out some very tiny screws to change the occular lenses. (It is not something you want the students doing all the time, since the screws will certainly get lost in the process.) Since I own 8 of these scopes and use them all with 20-40x, I bought this scope to be permanently set on 40-80x. If you are working with multiple students a lot of the time and want to offer the higher magnification you might want to consider doing what I did and having some scopes devoted to the 40-80x. However, I must say that for most things, the 20-40x is plenty of magnification for students. You can really see a lot at 40x! So if you just want a good basic choice for classroom use, save your money and just get the scope with the 20-40x. One feature that this particular scope has is the rechargeable batteries. But you can also use regular batteries. My other scopes just use AAs and they last a long time. I love having them be cordless. Also I like the cool LED lights. The lights on my old plug-in scopes used to get dangerously hot. These LEDs are super safe. ... show more

  • Good for insect ID
I'm using this to ID insects, and it works fairly well. The focal range is very short, so I have to constantly be adjusting it, and the zoom is a little TOO high for larger insects, but overall it works fine, gives me a clear picture, and is at a very good pricepoint for a stereo microscope.

  • Excellent Stereo Microscope
I read all the reviews on this Stereo Microscope before buying including the negative reviews. My unit arrived in perfect condition after just a few short days and I couldn’t be more pleased. The quality of the build is top notch and the LED light controls are wonderful. I use it for Philately (Stamps) and the quality of the image is exceptional. Some reviewer complained about the difficulty of changing the eyepieces because of the screw size. If you remove the screw I could see their consternation but removal isn’t necessary, just back it out slowly until you can remove the eyepiece without fully removing the screw. Insert the new eye piece and retighten. I was able change out eye pieces in less than 2 minutes. One also complained about customer service with AmScope. I contacted them because I decided I wanted the ability to achieve 10X magnification. I contacted AmScope via their website and within 4 hours I had the part number to order for the 5X eye piece. My experience was perfect. The other thing I really like about this unit is that the LED lights can be plugged in or run on battery so the unit is very portable. Now I just have to decide whether or not I want to order a USB camera - still researching this as they have many options. ... show more

  • Impressed
I bought this one after waiting for nearly 15 years as I was so much interested to own a stereo microscope since my school days. This amscope product is a sturdy equipment with an excellent finish. I was really surprised to see my own hands under this microscope. Also I enjoyed looking at various specimens. Its input power is 110-240V AC, so it can be used anywhere in the world. It was absolutely a worthwhile purchase for a hobbyist like me. ... show more

  • Great for Beginners
I am a retired high school science teacher. While I have some nice microscopes in my home lab, I wanted an easy to use, simple binocular stereo scope for quick projects. I had older AmScopes in my school lab, and found they worked just great with my students. I decided to go with what I know for my home lab, and the price was certainly right. ... show more

  • Beyond Expectations
I absolutely love my new microscope. It is way better than I expected. LED on the top and bottom let’s you inspect objects in a way that you just can’t do with only the top bulb. I worked in the jewelry business for 15 years where we had a professional scope, but this one is better than the professional one. I’m more than satisfied with this scope! LOVE IT ! 🥰🥇 ... show more
