Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x
Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x (Product Code: SLE/M/98) is a mirror-lit compound microscope used to introduce elementary pupils and hobby users to microscopy, up to 400x, in classrooms and outdoors. It needs no electricity: a removable plano-concave mirror directs daylight or lamp light through the specimen, and a large gripping area makes it easy for small hands to carry. This compound microscope for primary schools in India and abroad is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Mirror Microscope Used For?
This is a first microscope for children who have never used one. Tilt the head to a comfortable angle, turn the mirror towards a window or desk lamp until the field is evenly bright, and focus with the 4X objective before clicking round to 10X and 40X. Because the objectives are parfocal and parcentric, the specimen stays close to focus and near the centre when the nosepiece is turned, so young users lose their place less often.
The plano-concave mirror gives a choice of surfaces: the flat side for strong light such as a bright window, the concave side to gather more light from a weak or nearby source. With no cable or batteries, the microscope suits rural schools, field trips and rooms without power, while the rotating disc diaphragm helps control contrast on thin plant and pond specimens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x need electricity?
No. The Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x is lit by a removable plano-concave mirror that reflects daylight or lamp light up through the specimen. It needs no cable or batteries, which suits rooms without sockets, outdoor lessons and schools with unreliable power.
What objectives does the mirror microscope have?
The Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x has 4X/0.10, 10X/0.25 and 40X/0.65 objectives on a revolving triple nosepiece with positive click stops, used with a WF10X/14 mm eyepiece. The highest combination reaches 400x, enough to see plant cells and many pond organisms.
Why are parfocal and parcentric objectives useful for children?
Parfocal and parcentric objectives on the Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x keep the specimen close to focus and near the centre of the field when the nosepiece is turned. Young users therefore spend less time searching for the specimen after changing magnification.
How big is the stage on the Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x?
The Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x has an 88 mm x 82 mm stage with stage clips to hold the slide. Pupils move the slide by hand, and a rotating disc diaphragm below the stage adjusts how much light reaches the specimen.
Is the mirror microscope suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The Monocular Mirror Microscope, 400x was designed with a large gripping area so it is easy to carry around the classroom and outdoors. Because it uses a mirror instead of a lamp, it works wherever there is enough daylight.
