From
the multi-awarded My First Lab microscope series comes the MFL
Duo-Scope, Winner of The Top Toy Award by Creative Child Magazine and
Still the # 1 Best Selling Microscope; specially designed and developed
to allow young scientists, ages nine and over, to examine specimens such
as Blood Cells or Organ Tissue on real microscope slides, as well as
view small solid objects like Plants, Coins and Insects. With its Dual
cool LED illumination, the Duo-Scope is two microscopes in one, in that
it can function as either a compound microscope, with the light shining
up from underneath, for viewing microscope slides, or it can function as
a dissecting stereo microscope, where the light shines down from above,
for use when observing solid objects. The Duo-Scope assures that
everyone will be amazed by the detail in the magnified images they will
now be able to see.
The
Duo-Scope is an authentic, scientist-grade, biological microscope and
is not to be confused with TOYS, which claim to offer higher
magnifications but are unable offer CLARITY. The Duo-Scope uses real
optical glass lenses that have been specially crafted to provide the
user with crystal-clear 40x, 100x, and 400x magnification, to view
slides or solid objects through a 10x eyepiece, which also functions as a
magnifying glass when removed from the eyepiece tube and turned over.
Designed
for maximum portability, the Duo-Scope features an impact-resistant
frame and is AA battery powered, so whether examining the surface of a
coin in the attic, studying a tiny insect's hairy legs in the garage, or
checking out different rocks and leaves in the yard, the Duo-Scope is
the ideal companion for venturing out into the Exciting World of
Science.
Q
– I SAW ANOTHER MICROSCOPE WITH 1600X MAGNIFICATION. IS THAT MICROECSPE
BETTER BECAUSE IT OFFERS ME A HIGHER MAGNIFICATION? A – Not exactly. A
higher magnification does not always translate into a better microscope
since clarity is the most important attribute to consider. At 1000X
magnification, OIL between the objective and lens is sometimes required
in order to achieve better clarity. We have carefully selected a range
of magnification that will be easily viewed by our young scientists to
avoid frustration when making adjustments to higher magnifications. Q –
CAN THE DUO SCOPE BE USED FOR REAL-LIFE EDUCATIONAL APPLICATIONS, LIKE
SCHOOL PROJECTS? A – Absolutely Yes! , the Duo-Scope is an authentic
laboratory-grade scientific tool that will accompany the user all
through their high-school education.Q – HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MICROSCOPE TO
BUY? A - The type of microscope to buy depends on your intended
application, because basically, STEREO MICROSCOPES, Offer lower
magnification and are primarily intended for applications that require
you to “work” in a magnified work-space and provide you with the ability
to view specimens that do not fit on a microscope slide. A compound
microscope offers higher magnification and is used to view specimen so
small that it needs to be mounted on a slide. DUO-SCOPES are dual
functioning microscopes that can do a little of both! Q – I SAW A
CHEAPER MICROSCOPE. WHAT MAKES THIS ONE BETTER? A - We only use glass
optics. Buying a microscope with plastic optics is like comparing
looking through a clean window and a dirty window. Even if you do not
buy our microscope we recommend you buy a microscope with glass optics Q
– HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM ON THE RIGHT MAGNIFICATION? A – Magnification
is determined by multiplying the power of the eyepiece, with the power
of the objective. The Duo-Scope features a 10x eyepiece, a 4x objective,
a 10x objective and a 40X objective, thus providing the used with a
range of 40x to 400x magnification. Q – HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH
MAGNIFICATION I NEED? A – The amount of magnification needed depends on
your intended application, the specimen type. See the chart below: A.1 -
10x to 40x is the ideal magnification range for viewing Insects,
jewelry, keys, and even small toys. A.2 - At 40x to 100x magnification,
cells and organ tissue are now visible, as well as some smaller solid
items. A.3 - 100x to 400x magnification is the most frequently used
magnification range for general laboratory applications and offers
higher definition images of blood cells and organ tissue and nerves.
