AmScope 40X-1000X Biology Microscope with 3MP Camera | Durable Metal Frame

Meet a versatile microscope designed to support learning, experimentation, and documentation. The AmScope 40X-1000X Biology Microscope blends a precise optical path with a robust metal chassis, making it a reliable tool for classrooms, home labs, and hobbyists seeking consistent performance across a range of specimens. The build quality invites hands-on exploration, while the user experience remains approachable for beginners.

A 360 degree rotating monocular head with optical glass lenses offers five magnification levels up to 1000X, giving you quick access to different levels of detail. The all-metal framework is paired with a single glass lens condenser and a 6-hole disc diaphragm, ensuring steady illumination control and clear contrast as you switch from slides to prepared specimens.

Lighting is flexible and reliable; LED illumination can be powered from an AC outlet or by batteries, which means you can observe samples in desks, classrooms, or field-like setups without rearranging power sources. The ability to tune brightness helps reveal subtle features in translucent slides and stained preparations.

For recording, the integrated 3MP USB 2.0 digital camera captures crisp photos and videos on Windows or Mac computers. Third-party software support expands options, and the Windows-based software offers processing and advanced features including Stitching, EDF, Video Recording, and Measurements.
