Product Details
Mini microscope, DualScope
Battery-powered mini-microscope in robust plastic with three achromatic objectives that make the microscope suitable as a beginner’s microscope, possibly in subjects such as nature/technology. The eyepiece’s 10x magnification gives, together with the objectives, a total magnification of 40x, 100x and 400x. The lens tower is rear-facing and provides easy access to the objectives.
Description
The microscope has an object stage equipped with clips for attaching preparations. Focusing is done using the coarse screw located on the side of the microscope. The microscope is distinguished by having both upper and lower light, which makes it possible to use it as a stereo loupe at low magnifications, where elements that are not translucent to light need to be examined.
The microscope is powered by 3 AA batteries, which gives you the freedom to take it out into nature on a field trip, hike or garden trip.
