Product Summary
Standard optical microscope great for general viewing of cell structures at 40x, 100x, 400x viewing. Gives insights to topics from Biology, Life Science, Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular and Field Biology. High quality optical lenses allow for fine details in high contrast for optimum feature identification. Images can be studied in appropriate detail for starter to experienced microscope users. Perfect for establishing labs with sets of durable equipment that classes will use for years. Compatible with student or professionally prepared slide set like the Microscope Slide Kingdom survey (SE-6214) gives students a solid start to explore cellular features and concepts across all living kingdoms. Tie together with digital camera (SE-6213) and SPARKvue software allows students to capture and annotate imagery for assignments or reports.
