What Is the Monocular LED Microscope Used For?

This is the microscope students usually meet first: onion peel and cheek-cell mounts, stomata on a leaf, pollen grains, pond-water protozoa and commercially prepared tissue slides. Start every observation with the 4x objective to find the specimen, centre it by hand under the slide clips, then rotate up to 10x and 40x, using the fine focus for the last touch. The disc diaphragm under the stage changes the light cone, which helps bring out detail in thin, unstained specimens.

Because the head turns through 360°, a teacher can swing the eyepiece towards a pupil across the bench without moving the slide, which is useful during school biology lab equipment demonstrations. Batteries are not supplied, so keep a set of AA cells in the prep room if the microscopes are used outdoors or where mains sockets are few.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The number of microscopes needed per class or lab bench
  • Mains voltage at your site (the LED is listed as 220 V, and a mains lead is included)
  • Whether you also need slides, cover glasses or storage covers in the same order
  • Any preference for a mirror-lit model for rooms with no power at all
