AmScope IQCrew 40X-1000X Dual Illumination Microscope, Digital Microscope, Slide Kit, Book, Blue

IQCrew's Science Discovery Series is designed to inspire kids to learn more about science. Microscopes are important tools which help children understand science and nature by allowing them to peek into the microscopic world, which is why they are a standard component of STEM curricula. Biology, chemistry, geology, and many more fields rely on microscopes to understand how things work.

This introductory lab set pairs our dual-illumination compound microscope with a digital inspection microscope. How close up do you want to see things? The M50C includes 2 eyepieces, and has 5 magnifications from 40X to 1000X! The high-quality lenses provide a wide range of true optical magnification. The digital microscope puts the power to magnify in your hand, and you can view everything on your computer! The included software can take photos and record video. You can edit the images using professional tools.

The top and bottom LED illumination provide light for both translucent and opaque objects. This means you can look at ultra-thin tissue samples, or plant leaves and insects. And since the microscope is battery-powered, you can take it anywhere.

To get things started, this learning kit includes a 25-piece set of prepared slides for viewing right out of the box. This kit includes a beautifully-illustrated book that will help guide first-time users through the history of microscopes, and how to perform some experiments right at home. The kit also includes materials to prepare your own samples, like a Petri dish and blank slides. There is a graduated cylinder for measuring, and a pipette for easily transferring liquid samples. Forceps, a probe, and a stirring rod are also included for preparing and positioning specimens.
