Scope (Product Code: SLE/M/55) is a simple 30x monocular microscope used to introduce young learners to slides and small specimens in primary and middle-school science classes. It combines a 5x eyepiece with a 6x objective and lights the specimen through a bottom prism, so no power supply is needed. This practical piece of junior science lab equipment is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

At 30x, children can see detail that a hand lens misses without the difficulty of a high-power instrument. Good first specimens include salt and sugar crystals, the cell outlines in a thin piece of onion skin, the scales on an insect wing, strands of hair and fabric fibres, and the dots that make up a printed picture. Each one shows how a microscope reveals structure hidden from the naked eye.
Place the Scope near a window or bright lamp so the bottom prism can send light up through the slide. Teach students to lower the tube while watching from the side, then focus upward while looking through the eyepiece. With no bulbs, batteries or cables, it works in classrooms without power points and alongside a hands-on science kit in primary school.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose trading name is ScienceLab, supplies the Scope from Ambala, Haryana, to primary and middle schools, education programmes, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It can be ordered in class quantities together with slides, cover glasses and magnifiers. Background on the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

What magnification does the Scope give?
The Scope gives 30x magnification, produced by a 5x eyepiece working with a 6x objective lens. That level shows crystals, fibres, insect parts and onion-skin cell outlines clearly while staying easy for young students to focus.
Does the Scope need electricity or batteries?
No. The Scope needs no power supply because a bottom prism directs available light up through the specimen. It works well near a window or under a bright lamp, and there are no bulbs or batteries to replace.
How is the Scope focused?
The Scope has coarse focus only. Students lower the tube while watching from the side, then turn the focus knob slowly upward while looking through the eyepiece until the specimen becomes sharp, which avoids pressing the objective onto the slide.
What type of head and stage does the Scope have?
The Scope has a fixed, non-rotating monocular head and a standard stage with clips to hold the slide. The fixed head keeps the eyepiece in one position, which makes it simple for younger children to share at a bench.
How big is the Scope?
The Scope measures 10 in H x 4-1/2 in W x 4 in D (about 25.4 x 11.4 x 10.2 cm). Its small footprint suits crowded classroom tables and makes class sets easy to store in a cupboard.
Who supplies the Scope?
The Scope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies schools, education programmes, dealers and importers in India and international markets, from single units to full class sets.
What should a Scope quotation request include?
A Scope quotation request should give the number of microscopes, the delivery location and any slides, cover glasses or magnifiers you need. Telling us the class size helps us suggest a practical quantity for group work.
Ask about the Scope on the contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart with slides for your first microscopy lessons.
