The included Home LED Microscope is easy-to-use, sturdy, affordable, has a lifetime warranty, comes with one eyepiece, and is an excellent choice for students, science-lovers & hobbyists alike. This home microscope features long-life, variable-intensity LED lighting, which provides a bright field of view and is cool enough for use with live specimens. Its objective lenses and 10x eyepiece lens work together to produce high magnifications that are excellent in quality, and its smoothly-rotating head makes it easy to share one microscope between two or more students. The precision fine and coarse focusing brings specimens into focus quickly and sharply, making your all-around microscopic experience all-around amazing.
