AmScope’s new EduPro line includes a cohesive assortment of microscopes intended for educational institutions ranging from middle school to college. EduPro microscopes are meticulously designed and manufactured to achieve enduring quality with a modern, elegant aesthetic.
From beginning to advanced biology, the compound microscope has long been a standard tool in classrooms for studying cell structures and functions, observing microorganisms, and much more.
Viewing Head
The classic monocular design offers a no-fuss approach to viewing specimens. The use of a single eyepiece simplifies the process of learning how to use the instrument, especially among multiple students.
The Stage
The 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement for examination of specimen slides. The stage's low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. Examining specimen slides is intuitive and precise for users at any skill level. Symmetrical focus controls are coaxially mounted for fast, intuitive focusing. Tension control lets you customize the feel to further enhance your workflow.
LED Transmitted Illumination
The powerful 3W LED illumination system is designed to produce bright, vivid images. The Abbe light condenser is pre-centered to avoid unnecessary setup time, and is compatible with oil-immersion for higher resolutions.
