The Observer III is our best-selling educational microscope for homeschooling and high school use. It comes standard with many features that other scopes would list as add-ons (see below). The Observer III comes with 4x, 10x, and 40x objectives (with its 10x eyepiece, this gives you 40, 100, and 400x); it can accept a 100x oil immersion lens (sold separately) to give 1000x magnification, allowing you to view many more types of cells, structures, and bacteria. The Observer IV comes standard with this lens, giving you all four levels of magnification from 40x to 1000x. For professional lab and medical microscopes, please have a look at the Revelation III series or the M2 Labscope.
The "Observers" are light-transmittance (biological) microscopes. If you're looking for a 'scope to view minerals, fossils, stamps, or similar items, please have a look at the Paragon and Achiever stereo inspection microscopes. Observer III................ Monocular version (single-eyepiece). We use one of these to take most of our photomicrographs. It's just a great all-around microscope at an affordable price. Observer III w/ Binocular head............. Lets you use both eyes at once to see through the microscope.
Observer IV............... Monocular version (single-eyepiece). The Observer IV is like the III with an extra objective lens (100x oil-immersion lens, for a total magnification of 1000x).
