Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. 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 SM-2T-LED stereo zoom microscope with pillar stand
This high power digital microscope has an incident and transmitted illumination system. Designed for students to learn science, it comes with full optical glass elements, metal framework, 360 degree rotatable monocular head, coarse & fine focusing, 2MP USB digital camera, and top & bottom LED lights that use either an outlet (adapter included) or three AA batteries (or re-chargeable batteries). It can view transparent biological slides and/or opaque objects like stamps and coins. 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. It comes brand new in a factory sealed box.
This professional trinocular compound microscope provides both darkfield and brightfield features. It boasts three unique features no other microscope dealer can claim, designed for professional applications in clinical offices and research laboratories. Different from most other microscopes on the market, the T490B is remarkable because it features 1) simultaneous viewing through the photo port and eyepieces, 2) an adjustable parfocal trinocular port, and 3) a detachable C-Mount located on the 23mm photo port. T490B’s adjustable trinocular port creates a parfocal optical system by allowing the image system attached to the photo port and the image in the eyepieces to be in focus at the same time. Traditional microscopes on the market allow you to see through either the trinocular port or eyepieces, forcing you to switch between the port and eyepieces. Because their trinocular port is not designed to be par-focal with the microscope optical system, you have to conduct re-focusing after each “switch”. The T490B, however, has simultaneous viewing and parfocal trinocular port so that these “switch” and “re-focusing” are no longer necessary. Especially handy for teaching demonstrations, clinical examinations and laboratory applications, these features allow your students or colleagues to view crystal clear images simultaneously while you work through the eyepieces. In addition, the T490B’s industry standard 23mm photo port can be converted into a C-Mount port by putting on the free C-mount adapter included, allowing you to attach most of microscope digital cameras and video systems on the market. This versatile microscope is also capable of being upgraded with various accessories and attachments for additional functions. The T490B also includes a 30° inclined 360° swiveling compensation-free trinocular head, a 3-D mechanical stage, and an intensity-variable halogen illumination system. This microscope is made by the same technicians and on the same production

Brightfield imaging with rheostat-controlled tungsten (incandescent) illumination and spiral-control 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm and color filter
Plain stage with clips to secure specimen, separate coarse and fine focus on rack-and-pinion mechanism to provide precise focus, and tension control to prevent stage drift
The AmScope M500 monocular compound microscope has a 10x widefield eyepiece, a forward-facing nosepiece with four DIN achromatic objectives, tungsten illumination, separate coarse and fine focus, a 1.25 NA Abbe condenser, and a plain stage. The monocular viewing head has a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and 360-degree rotation capability to enable sharing. An anti-mold head preserves optics in high-humidity areas. The forward-facing revolving nosepiece has 4x, 10x, 40x(S), and 100x(S,oil) DIN achromatic objectives that provide color correction of magnified images. The 40x(S) and 100x(S,Oil) objectives are spring loaded to prevent damage to the slide or objective when focusing. The 100x(S,Oil)-immersion objective uses oil between the specimen and the objective lens to provide increased resolution over a standard objective. The fully-coated optical system provides sharp, high-resolution images. A compound microscope is used for inspection and dissection of specimens when two-dimensional images are desired.
The microscope has lower (diascopic) Brightfield illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF) illumination allows the specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light background. Tungsten (incandescent) illumination provides bright light, and a rheostat controls the amount of light emanating from the lamp. The 1.25 NA Abbe condenser can be adjusted to control the distance of the light from the stage and has an iris diaphragm to optimize the amount of light illuminating the specimen. The condenser is controlled using a spiral mechanism. The plain stage has clips to secure the specimen in place, and is 4-3/8 x 4-3/4 inches (110 x 120mm) (W x D; where W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back). Separate coarse and fine focus eases focusing for left- and right-handed viewers, and a rack-and-pinion mechanism provides precise and secure focusing. Focus tension control prevents stage drift. All the mechanical parts of the microscope are constructed of metal to provide durability and resistance to wear. The metal frame has a stain-resistant enamel finish for durability and to ease cleaning. The microscope is powered by a 110V wall outlet.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. 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.

The AmScope M200A-LED cordless monocular compound microscope has interchangeable 10x widefield and 16x widefield eyepieces, a forward-facing nosepiece with three DIN achromatic objectives, LED illumination, coaxial coarse and fine focus, a 0.65 NA single-lens condenser, and a plain stage. The monocular viewing head has a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and 360-degree rotation capability to enable sharing. The forward-facing revolving nosepiece has 4x, 10x, and 40xS DIN achromatic objectives that provide color correction of magnified images. The 40xS objective is spring loaded to prevent damage to the slide or objective when focusing. A compound microscope is used for inspection and dissection of specimens when two-dimensional images are desired.
The microscope has lower (diascopic) Brightfield illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF) illumination allows the specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light background. LED illumination provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens, and a rheostat controls the amount of light emanating from the lamp. The 0.65 NA single-lens condenser and disc diaphragm optimize the amount of light illuminating the specimen. The plain stage is 4-3/8 x 4-3/4 inches (W x D; where W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back). It has an opening for light transmission, stage clips to secure the slide or specimen in place while viewing, and an upper stage stop to prevent the stage or specimen from coming into contact with the objectives. Separate coaxial coarse and fine focus eases focusing for left- and right-handed viewers, and a rack-and-pinion mechanism provides precise and secure focusing. All the mechanical parts of the microscope are constructed of metal to provide durability and resistance to wear. The cast-alloy metal frame has a stain-resistant enamel finish for durability and to ease cleaning. The microscope can be powered by 110V power supply or three AA batteries (included).

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. 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.
