Top Ten Tips On Buying Educational Microscopes
Schools and homes need educational microscopes for their students. These viewing equipment allow them to see into the world of living organisms and non-living things on a whole different perspective, figuratively and literally. And as with all types of investment for your children's education, you must carefully consider the purchase of an educational microscope since it, too, requires money.
Buy from the Right Sources
If you want quality in an educational microscope and, hence, value for your money, you must never buy from a nature and science store, a department store or a toy store. There are online sources for high-quality microscopes that will not end up not being used and worse, in the trash can.
Spend Right
You can expect to pay at least $200 for a good quality beginner microscope. Anything under this amount should be avoided unless you want to waste your hard-earned money and waste your child's time with a microscope that does nothing for his studies.
No Plastic, All Metal
All good quality educational microscopes have metal parts and absolutely no plastic parts. Look for metal parts especially in the frame, screw fasteners and focusing system. Otherwise, you are stuck with a toy microscope that you could have saved the trouble buying with your money.
DIN Standard
This is the German standard for the manufacture of microscope lenses, which makes it easy to replace the lens and lamp as well as other microscope parts. It must be emphasized that a DIN lens is not particularly better than the non-DIN lens but it does make for great interchangeability.
Separate Adjustments
It is very important to purchase educational microscopes with separate fine focus and coarse adjustments. As much as your budget will allow, avoid the microscopes with either a coarse focus adjustment or an intermediate focus.
Prefer Halogen Lighting
For most students, the fluorescent microscope works just fine. However, for the more advanced students especially when considering a binocular microscope, halogen lighting with a dimmer is the more preferred option.
Look for Good Lenses
In many ways, the lens is the heart of the microscope. At the very least, buy one with a glass achromatic lens that will work in an excellent manner with school and hobby applications. If you have money to spare, educational microscopes with semi-plan lens are the next step up.
Go for a Slip Clutch
The slip clutch allows the focus knob to turn in place without causing damage to the microscope focus system. For many schools, this is the most important requirement.
Consider a Mechanical Stage
Although this is optional for educational microscopes for students, it is indeed a good addition to your system. Plus, it will help you practice for the more advanced medical and laboratory microscopes.
Consider an Iris Diaphragm
The iris diaphragm makes for easier adjustment in using the microscope. You can contrast this with a disk diaphragm that might be a little bit more difficult to maneuver for students.
With these tips in mind, you should be able to choose from amongst educational microscopes and get good value for your money.
