This microscope provides high powers from 40x up to 400x (up to 1600x with digital zoom). This microscope is ideally
suited for examining specimen slides of yeasts and molds, cultures, plant and animal parts, fibers, bacteria, etc. You can
also examine small & thin objects such as coins, stamps, PC boards, insects, and other objects especially at the lower
powers but remember than the lowest power is 40x.
The LCD Digital Microscope does not use eyepieces that are used in traditional microscopes. You will view specimens or
objects on the LCD screen which are easy to see and you can enjoy them with others also. You can also take snapshots or
short videos with the built-in digital camera.
The final section provides simple care and maintenance tips for you to follow to ensure that your microscope provides you
