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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

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)
