Q: I'm looking for something more in the beginner or department store price range, because I don't know if my son/daughter will hold interest in it. What should I buy? A: Have a look at the Outfitter or the Mobi, Jr. beginner microscopes. They are low-priced but have real glass optics and metal construction. Q: What microscope should I buy? I have so many questions! A: Don't hesitate to contact us; we'll gladly help you through your decision and discuss the available choices within your budget. |

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.
