Frequently asked questions
Which microscope suits a school lab?
A monocular or binocular compound microscope with 4x, 10x and 40x objectives is usually enough. Add a few stereo microscopes for biology practicals.
Do I need a digital microscope?
Only if you want to project or record images for teaching or reporting. A trinocular unit with a camera can be added later.
What does a pathology lab need?
A binocular microscope with a 100x oil immersion objective is standard. Common brands include Olympus, Nikon, Zeiss, Labomed and Radical.
