The Dissecting Microscope gives a magnified, upright view of specimens that are too thick or too delicate for a slide: flowers and their parts, seeds, small invertebrates and preserved material. The 10x lens shows the overall layout of a specimen, and the 20x lens brings out finer structures such as veins, hairs or mouthparts. With both hands resting on the detachable supports, a student can hold a needle and forceps steadily while watching the cut through the lens.
Swing the jointed arm across the stage to scan the specimen instead of repeatedly moving the specimen itself. Turn the reversible illuminator to its mirror side near a window, or to its opal face under a room lamp for softer, even light, and focus with whichever knob is nearer your free hand. After the class, the lenses, hand rests and microscope pack into the fitted wooden case, which keeps parts together for the next biology lab session.
This dissecting microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana. Schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets often order it with dissecting kits, pans and needles as one practical package. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

What magnification does the Dissecting Microscope give?
The Dissecting Microscope has two high-eyepoint lenses giving 10x and 20x magnification. They are mounted on a jointed arm, so the lens can be moved over any part of the 70 x 90 mm glass stage without disturbing the specimen.
Can spectacle wearers use the Dissecting Microscope?
Yes. The Dissecting Microscope uses high-eyepoint lenses, which can be used comfortably by students and teachers who wear spectacles, so they do not need to remove their glasses during a dissection.
What comes with the Dissecting Microscope?
The Dissecting Microscope comes with its 10x and 20x lenses, detachable hand rests for both sides of the stage, and a wooden storage and carrying case with fittings that hold the lenses, hand rests and microscope in place.
How is the specimen lit on the Dissecting Microscope?
The Dissecting Microscope has a reversible substage mirror with an opal face on the other side. It gives good lighting of objects in daylight or under artificial light, and no electrical connection is listed for the instrument.
How is the Dissecting Microscope focused?
The Dissecting Microscope focuses by a rack and pinion enclosed within the stage support pillar. A knob sits on either side of the pinion spindle, so both left- and right-handed users can focus while holding a tool in the other hand.
Who supplies the Dissecting Microscope?
The Dissecting Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
