Student microscopes are small and inexpensive light microscopes. Student microscopes are a must for schools and educational establishments that have any kind of science on its curriculum.
Compound microscopes are the usual microscopes used for teaching. There are many types of these microscopes, but the most used one has dual eyepiece for viewing by two students or student and teacher. Student stereo microscopes are a bit more expensive and give three dimensional images. These are great tools for viewing all sorts of specimens and are useful for students of higher levels, who need specific studies.
Student microscopes have user-friendly designs with a mechanical construction designed to withstand vigorous, everyday classroom use. Most microscope models feature high quality DIN standard optics and anti-tamper safety features including locked on eyepiece and stage clips. Most student microscopes also have slip clutch on the coarse focus movement to prevent over focusing and an adjustable focus stop to prevent damage to glass micro-slides and objective lenses.
All student microscopes will not have the same standard; there are some basic, less expensive microscopes for younger students and advanced and more expensive models for higher grades. Most student microscopes have a selection of objectives, often two or three, having 10X and 40X lenses. Thus the usual magnification power ranges form 100Xto 400X. But in some with third objective of 100X, the magnification power goes up to 1000X. The lighting systems may vary between less inexpensive Tungsten bulbs, more expensive fluorescent lights and halogen lamps.
Purchase student microscopes only from specialist microscope suppliers. As there is an increased chance of damage because of inexperienced hands, always purchase from a provider who offers good repair service. Purchasing in bulk quantities often gives large reductions. Bargain with the companies to reduce their price. Try to sign an agreement with a company that will give you discounts for fixing and maintaining your educational microscopes while keeping costs as low as possible, and reductions for every additional purchase. Always look for offers of free shipping.
