## Overview

The AmScope M162C-2L-PB10-WM is a professional-grade monocular microscope offering 40X to 1000X magnification with dual LED illumination and a robust all-metal frame. Ideal for students and educators, it supports both AC power and battery operation, includes prepared slides and a microscope book, and is recognized as a top educational tool for detailed scientific exploration.

## Description

This microscope is perfect for academics at school at home for students in elementary school. This versatile dual light microscope serves as both a prime-powered and low-power microscope for viewing larger objects, such as leaves and bugs, as well as incredibly detailed viewing of ultra-small, translucent specimens such as cells and even the vascular systems of thin leaves. And for more opaque objects, such as stamps, sand or insects, the higher gentle mirror lighting provides.

Review: I ordered this for my 8 year old daughter for Christmas. The pin is on the lens and really gets in the way this is not listed in the description at all and when I asked they said it was part of the new design. This also didn’t come with a manual and I had to ask for one that was then sent over in a message. I feel that having a manual for an item like this is really important to have it in the box.
Review: A mi hija le a fascinado. Excelente calidad de imagen y de la estructura. Realmente me parece muy recomendable. Considerando que es un microscopio de verdad

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How heavy is it? Can a 6 year old carry it easily?**
A: Maybe a couple pounds. It has a handle on the back, so it seems like a 6-year-old could hold the handle and support the bottom with his or her other hand pretty easily with a little instruction. We’re using it in our homeschool for our 12 & 14-year-olds, and I’m pleased with it so far.

**Q: Does this have a standard 23.2mm optical tube/barrel? (for attaching a smartphone/dslr mount)**
A: Yes, the microscope has 23.2mm mounting tube.

**Q: Is the wheel under the stage the fine adjustment or is it the black knob on the base?**
A: Hello,
The blue knob on the side is the fine adjustment, and the black knob around it is the coarse adjustment. The little black knob on the base is light brightness, and the wheel under the stage is for light adjustment.
Thank you for your question,

**Q: What are on the different slides?**
A: The slides are ready to use nothing on the ones I received.

*by E***E on 7 February 2021*

Excelente regalo para mi hijo porque tiene luz frontal para objetos opacos como monedas, piedras, etc como luz debajo del plato para ver laminillas. Por cierto que si es un regalo para niños, compren un set adicional de laminillas ya pre-cargadas porque el microscopio sólo trae 5 y la diversión se acaba pronto.
