AmScope 40X-1000X Student Microscope – Metal Frame, LED, Mechanical Stage

Designed with students in mind, the AmScope 40X-1000X Student Microscope blends a rugged all-metal frame with polished optical glass lenses. The 360-degree rotatable monocular head invites group observation, while the integrated LED lighting reveals fine details in prepared slides and everyday samples. The user experience is built on a stable base, smooth glide on the mechanical stage, and precise adjustments that support curiosity without complexity.

This teaching tool offers five magnification settings—40X, 100X, 250X, 400X, and 1000X—allowing learners to start with larger specimens and progressively zoom into finer structures. Coarse and fine focusing provide smooth, tactile control, helping students lock in sharp images as they explore. The sturdy metal framework supports extended study sessions, and bright LED illumination ensures a clear, consistent view across magnifications without harsh glare for longer observations.
