Microscope - Stereoscopic 20x

The Stereoscopic Microscope 20x is an excellent introductory microscope for classroom use, offering clear and detailed three-dimensional views of solid specimens. Ideal for both primary and secondary settings, this model provides a fixed 20x magnification through 10x widefield eyepieces paired with a 2x objective lens. The sturdy design, bright LED illumination, and simple operation make it particularly well-suited to younger students and beginners exploring the microscopic world.

This microscope is battery powered for portability and safety, meaning it can be used in a variety of settings, including fieldwork or in classrooms without immediate access to power. The stereoscopic view allows students to observe textures, structures, and features not visible through standard compound microscopes, promoting a deeper understanding of biological and physical sciences.
