Our top pick: a higher-quality microscope than most students use in high school and college, and at a decent price.
Incredible magnification (up to 2000x), clarity and durability in a home microscope.
Unit starts to fail at highest magnification levels.
Portability and very low price are the selling points here, but the quality is surprisingly good too.
Very portable, affordable and surprisingly high magnification from such a small unit.
Must be used on perfectly flat surface to work well. Unlike larger units, doesn't provide lighting from below for slide viewing.
If you are looking for a first microscope for a student, this one is hard to beat.
Magnification up to 400x with great clarity, glass optics, included accessories, manual and customer support.
Runs off of batteries only.
A great microscope for those wanting to integrate computer imaging into their research tools.
Great resolution, interfaces well with computers through provided USB cable and good software to analyze images.
Must be calibrated before every use; something north of 200x magnification should be available.
A very good first microscope that offers everything young scientists need to get started.
Magnification up to 1200x and comes with a handy case and good experiments and accessories.
Fixed optics and battery operated only. Much of the construction, including the lenses, is plastic.
