We realize that most students don’t have the budget to purchase a high priced name brand type of microscope. What most students need is equipment with enough capability to see a biological specimen with reasonable clarity. We would caution the buyer about buying too cheap of a microscope, as the really cheap microscopes are better considered toy microscopes. Toy microscopes can come as several types, with some being generally nonfunctional. The quality of the optics can be bad enough that an image of any kind can be a real struggle to obtain. We believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable, so if the tools are too cheap, then the excitement of the wonderful microworld may be lost. Our suggestion is to buy a cheap toy microscope if you’re only looking for a toy. But if you’re looking for a unit for student use, or to demonstrate various cells and specimens under a microscope, then buy a reasonable quality beginner microscope. Of course the higher the budget the parent has for the kid microscope, the better the optics that can be obtained. But do not consider that throwing money alone at this will get you the best unit. Most home school catalogs or science catalogs will offer very high priced beginner child microscopes but for those on an advanced budget. Our discount microscopes for beginners are typically a third of the prices of these name brand catalogs selling identical educational equipment coming from the same factory. We recommend that you call our sales staff and discuss your application for the beginner microscope. Let us know the age range of the kid you are buying for. Then, let us know the limits of your budget, and we’ll be happy to select suitable microscopy equipment that will fit the needs of your child while still being within a reasonable budget.
