Easy to use for both teachers and students

The requirements of a classroom are demanding.

You need simple, easy-to-use microscopes designed to handle the rigours of daily student use.

The wrong microscope can disrupt learning and waste your budget.

The problem:

Fragile microscopes break easily, leading to constant repairs and replacements
Blurry, low-quality optics make it hard for students to see specimens clearly
Complex or unreliable equipment frustrates teachers and slows down lessons
Cheap materials can pose safety risks, with hazardous plastics and weak construction
Budget wasted on microscopes that don’t last, requiring frequent reinvestment
Limited spare parts availability, making repairs difficult and costly

"I understand what it's like to need a reliable, good quality microscope but be confused by the options. That’s why our whole business is based on giving you confidence:

We empathise with people who have bought overseas not knowing it. They have had to wait months for their microscope to arrive and some never do.

You're important to us, that's why we carry all microscopes on hand and have options available for every situation."

N120MT Microscope & Digital Camera Bundle 5MP

I’m really pleased with the N120MT Microscope & 5MP Digital Camera bundle. The microscope itself delivers sharp, high-contrast images, with smooth focusing and solid build quality—perfect for teaching use. The digital camera integrates seamlessly, capturing detailed images that are easy to transfer to a computer. It’s an excellent tool for sharing microscope views with students or for documentation. Overall, great value for the price—highly recommended for anyone needing both optical and digital microscopy!

ASZ-400T with Camera & Dome Illuminator Bundle Michrome6

I'm 73 and this was very easy to assemble and use straight out of the box. Very high quality optics and the dome illuminator is worth the extra money. The magnification range is spot on for my needs. You simply focus on the subject and zoom in or out for the required image.
