The AmScope SE100-LED elementary stereo microscope has a pair of 10x widefield eyepieces, a 2x objective, LED lighting, and a reversible black and white stage plate. The binocular viewing head has an interpupillary range of 55 to 75mm and a fixed upright inclination to simplify viewing for young users. The WF10x18mm eyepieces combine with the 2x objective to provide 20x magnification and a longer working distance for inspecting large-scale specimens that require handling or repair. A stereo microscope, sometimes called an inspection or dissection microscope, has low magnification and a long working distance that enables users to manipulate the object being inspected.
Upper (episcopic) 1W LED light reflects light off the specimen. An LED light source provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens. The light is powered by two AA batteries (included), enabling the microscope to be used away from wired power sources. Bilateral coarse focus eases use for left- and right-handed users. The stage has a reversible black and white stage plate that provides contrast with light- and dark-colored specimens, and stage clips that secure the specimen during viewing. The microscope has a 2-3/4″ (70mm) working distance. All metal construction is durable and stain-resistant. SpecificationsHeadBinocularMagnification20xObjective power

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.
United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope. The company, founded in 1996, is headquartered in Irvine, CA.

Good Product Value
I use it to look at coins. The microscope does a good job for the price!

Perfect for the entire family!
My sonâs science and stem lab instructor suggested this model and it has been a delight to look at everything under the scope. Easy to use for little eyes! No plates needed. I would recommend this product over again!

A good value
For the money, this microscope does what I’d expect it to do.I expected a metal body, but the plastic seems adequate.The focus controls do not work well. They should have had a rack and pinion design rather than the friction drive.The optics seem great, but if I were to buy it again, I’d get the model that has the forward looking 45 degree vision path for much less neck and eye strain.

Optics are good, sharp and clear
I ordered several for a class. The lights on two of them 4 don’t stay on, suspect defective switches. I’ll try to fix before sending back. Optics are good, sharp and clear.

A very good scope to introduce children to tiny worlds. The magnification is good, with a reasonable depth of field. The illumination from the light is sufficient for eye observations; too dim for entry level microscope cameras. My astronomy camera coped with the lower light levels; a bright external spotlight should overcome issues with less sensitive microscope cameras. The focusing is a little agricultural, however the depth of field means that it is not an issue. The build quality is robust, which should cope with the rougher handling of younger children. Itâs fairly compact and light; making it suitable to take out into the field. Hopefully the attached photograph of a parasite on a Honey Bee provides an example of the magnification.

for background, I have worked and taught in laboratories for over a decade. I wanted a stereo/dissection microscope for my children. the ones marketed as “kids” scopes tend to be too flimsy. this scope is really light so I thought it would be the same…but no…this scope is excellent, the resolution is great, the smaller eye pieces make it much easier for children to view, it’s small and light enough to take on field trips! great value for money.
