Let us help find you the best student microscope!
Any of these student microscopes here provide excellent quality at a low price - so that you can get the best classroom-quality features for your brightfield studies (in relation to fine focus, optical glass, boom stands, phase contrast, metal frames, mechanical stages, eyepieces, abbe condensers, etc. ) without hurting your budget! Most have a lifetime warranty to ensure you can use the same microscope for years to come, and many feature high-quality LED illumination or halogen light. Choose from microscopes with a monocular, binocular, or dual-head and between 40-1000x power objectives.
For most students and families interested in widefield microscopy, we recommend the Home Microscope; this bestselling LED light microscope is ideal for students who are studying life science and biology in junior high and up. If you have a younger child who loves science, but you don’t want to make a longer-term investment, we highly recommend the kids model. It's a great tool for teaching children how to use a real microscope in the future! For an advanced student looking for an excellent research microscope, a great choice that would allow them to see even more detail is the iris diaphragm and 1000x magnification microscope.
