The Higher the Magnification - The More Detail You'll See

Magnification is the ability of your microscope to make small objects seem larger. As the magnification increases the area being viewed will be decrease is size but the detail of the area being viewed will improve.

Amscope microscopes come with multiple magnifications to aid you in finding the proper magnification for viewing each specimen.

Camera Connection Types

When comparing 2.0 and 3.0 there are few major differences. First the transfer rates. USB 2.0 offers transfer rates of 480 Mbps and USB 3.0 offers transfer rates of 4.8 Gbps - that's 10 times faster.

Camera Resolution

The most important factor in ensuring successful microscopic imaging is choosing the appropriate optics and camera for your application that gives you more data and higher image quality. When selecting a microscope camera, it is best to base your decision on the most important requirements for your microscopic observation.

This is a perfect microscope for students to learn science. It comes with full optical glass elements, metal framework, a 360 degree rotatable monocular head, coarse and fine focusing, with an LED illumination system that uses either an outlet (adapter included) or three AA batteries (or re-chargeable batteries). It offers five magnification settings, 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X, and 1000X. The digital camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. The included software for Windows offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. On Mac computers, the camera can be used as a driverless imaging device, compatible with various applications, such as ProScope and Photo Booth. This is an ideal microscope for academics in home school and from students in elementary to high school. A microscope of this caliber is an excellent instrument for hobbyists.

Along with some prepared biological-specimen slides, this kit also includes a slide-preparation kit, with blank slides, red and blue stains, and several tools to put together your own specimen slides.

    We have only just received the order so are unable to comment on the microscope yet. It is a present for the birthday of our twin grandsons . It looks good so hopefully they will be very pleased with it. Unfortunately we had to wait over two weeks for delivery, which was disappointing.
