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.

      So I bought this as a gift for my niece and nephews we have been doing various science experiments and we've gotten to biology. My niece and nephews range from 3-year-olds to a 10-year-old. The oldest took to it very well and was able to use it on his own the littler ones needed assistance and couldn't really get the microscope to work properly. I was able to focus it and find the specimens under the microscope for them so they could look at it. They absolutely loved finding things in the backyard putting them on the slides and getting to see them underneath the microscope. I even tested the water in my turtle tank hence that nice little creature in one of the images. I would like to purchase more of these so each kid can have their own. But the microscope itself feels cheap. The body itself I think it is metal but it just feels so light. The actual neck of the microscope is plastic so are the dials to move it up and down and the light housing is plastic as well. That being said for the price and how amazing it actually works it's great. This was meant as just a small project for me and my nephews and niece and has only got them excited to do more. When they are older I might invest in a more high quality microscope but for anybody who is looking to do small experiments with children just for the fun of it this was an amazing buy. You have all the tools you need to get started and look at some small things. It gives you a few pre-made slides so you already have something to look at. The next addition we are going to get is to purchase some petri dishes and grow bacteria so that we can look at them underneath this microscope. For the price and the item that you get I could not be happier I would suggest purchasing if you have kids who are curious or you want to do some little STEM projects with them as well. It's a great starter for a cheap price to introduce them.

Amazon’s customer service was excellent and it was quickly replaced. The replacement was also defective and way passed the return date because the boys had gone home before the replacement arrived, so we didn’t open it until they came back for the summer. I called Amazon and since it was way past, they couldn’t do anything but the representative I spoke with was very helpful in giving me the info I needed to contact the company. I called, and the person I spoke with gave me the info I needed to contact the correct person. I emailed that person and got a response within 24 hrs telling me what info I had to send, including the invoice. I didn’t have that, so back to Amazon. This rep was also fantastic and she promptly sent me a copy . I immediately sent it off to the company. Within a couple of hours of emailing the invoice, I received an email saying they were shipping the replacement within 24 hrs. Two days later I received the replacement. Great customer service, quality product, and fun while being educational.

      An okay, cheap microscope for trying out the scientific tool and process. It would probably be great for a particularly scientific young person. Wigglewarts and active adventurers . . . maybe not. I wanted the kids to be able to experience the microscopic world for their science lessons, and the process of preparation and careful use of the table-top microscope while we are educating remotely.

      Overall everything about it fits the price. My first thought seeing it out of the box was that it was a lot smaller than expected, which makes it harder to use. The chrome looking pieces are plastic and feel flimsy; the "scalpel" blade also seems to be plastic . . .

      To see if this was an item worth keeping I took a quick look at the prepared slides. I got it to focus fairly well at all three magnification levels with little interference. The slides were a little air bubbly but you could see the detail of the specimens. However, the clarity and color just wasn't spectacular comparatively (* see below).

      I ended up returning this for lack of quality, which adversely effects the interest in using it.

      * We had also purchased a couple pocket microscopes which were a huge hit - suited for exploring outdoors as well as desk learning. They have a clearer image (less magnification, but enough for our level of learning) and can go anywhere and produced a LOT of interest, which has led to more self-guided learning. I got some blank slides so they could practice making their own (but they aren't necessary) and it's enough for making science fun for our lessons. Plus they each got their own.

      Purchased for a 6 year old who has been asking for a microscope for a while. (Dad is a chemist) We were pleased with the quality and how much it was like a more serious microscope. No cutesy colorful plastic! The case was a big plus for keeping specimins and slides together. He was able to use it right away and was very engaged. Because it doesn't look like a toy we are hopeful that he will treat it like a serious tool to be treated with care, at least as much as a 6 year old can.

      A plataforma de observação é fixa, só a ocular é móvel, o que pode dificultar o foco. Ainda não abri para colocar as pilhas mas, à primeira vista, não encontro um botão de ligar/desligar, o que me preocupa um pouco pois, se não o tiver, é provável que a luz fique sempre acesa - o que é um pouco disparatado. O bisturi é só para enfeitar pois não corta nada, assim como alguns dos acessórios são só para enfeitar. O que eu gostei é que o corpo é pesado, o que dá alguma estabilidade, as lentes parecem estar intactas e focam bem, a caixa é uma mais valia por torna o transporte e armazenamento mais fácil. Eu comprei uma caixa extra de lamelas com material para observar, para tornar a experiência mais interessante para a minha filha. Ela tem 7 anos e será um presente de natal, por isso ainda não vi a interacção dela com o microscópio, mas estou confiante que ficará feliz com o presente.

      The viewing platform is fixed, only the eyepiece is movable, which can make focusing difficult. I haven't opened it to put the batteries in yet, but at first glance I can't find an on/off button, which worries me a bit because if I don't have one, the light is likely to stay on all the time - which is a bit silly. The scalpel is just for decoration as it doesn't cut anything, just as some of the accessories are just for decoration. What I liked is that the body is heavy, which gives some stability, the lenses seem to be intact and focus well, the box is a plus as it makes transport and storage easier. I bought an extra box of slides with material for observation, to make the experience more interesting for my daughter. She is 7 years old and it will be a Christmas present, so I have not yet seen her interaction with the microscope, but I am confident she will be happy with it. (web translation)

      Je ne sais pas si cette version existe en français car ce que j'ai commandé est exactement comme ce qui est présenté sur la photo est c'est TOUT en anglais. Tous les éléments y contiennent sont listés et détaillés. Le tout dans une boîte en plastique assez robuste et pas très lourd pour que l'enfant puisse le transporter partout pour vivre au maximum l'expérience. Tout est fonctionnel. Un vrai microscope dans la performance et la présentation. Un jouet bien conçu car avant qu'on ait le temps de sortir dehors (surtout en cette période de froid...), il y a déjà pas mal de lots qui sont prêts à être examiné, du coup l'enfant (avec la présence d'un adulte exigée) peut tout de suite prendre le goût au microcosme. Sur la boîte c'est marqué 8+ mais avec un enfant de 6 ans et 1/2 bien curieux ça va bien. C'est assez complet. C'est robuste et beaucoup de vrais éléments de laboratoire (lamelles pré-montées et vierges, substances...) et non pas des imitations. Le microscope est pratiquement monté sauf la fixation de l'objectif en haut. Les piles neuves pour le faire fonctionner sont fournies ainsi que des rechanges pour l'objectif et la lampe. Je l'ai commandé avec le livre : "Mes premiers projets au microscope !". C'est une pédagogie simple mais une bonne aide pour initier l'enfant à ce genre d'activité. Je suis contente de cet achat.

      Si bien el objetivo es entretener a los niños, funciona más allá de un juguete. La calidad de los materiales en general es buena, la base es de metal, los oculares son de vidrio, puedes ver realmente microorganismos o diversas muestras. Los recomiendo ampliamente.
