You would need two instruments to view what the MicroXplore Duo-Scope S400 LED Microscope does. A basic biological or compound microscope to look at specimens on a slide (light shines up from under the slide and through the tissue) and a traditional stereo or dissecting microscope to view solid objects at lower power (light shines down onto the specimen to be observed). This new combination microscope with dual lighting allows for both types of applications! Cordless battery power makes it portable for field study. The uses are virtually unlimited. With the flexibility to view both slides and solid this combination scope is fun and educational for scientists of all ages. This all-inclusive kit contains over 30 accessories for hours of scientific research!

MicroXplore Duo-Scope S400 LED Microscope
Reviewer: Ivan Gastaldo
I am very satisfied with the quality and
performance of this microscope... (I
doubt you'll find a better option at this
price range, believe me.)
Construction is sturdy, and the lenses
and mechanics seem to be of good
quality.
The dual function of this equipment is a
fantastic thing to have, as you can
observe the objects in two different ways
(illuminated from top or bottom), and at
3 different magnifications.
While the manual is not as explicit at it
could be, most things can be figured out
on your own (talking about the
accessory kit).
I've shown my kids, and neighbor kids,
many things already, and they all were
very impressed with the detail of the
objects they saw.
All in all, very happy with the purchase.
Thanks guys,

to use but opens a whole other world to
us.

Reviewer: Walt Spence
Compares well with more expensive
instruments available from other
vendors. Build quality is utilitian but
fairly solid. Images are sharp and bright
at 40x and 100x. 400x was dimmer, and
focus was a little difficult, but it was
definitely usable. I was surprised, as the
highest magnification achievable on most
inexpensive optics is usually for
marketing purposes only. The young
recipient was very pleased.
Please note that glass slides, stains, and
a scalpel are included, so don't just hand
this to a young child without taking
appropriate safety measures.

As always another superior product
from Orion! My daughter and I spent
several hours Christmas morning with
this gem.
The optics are outstanding! Very well
made! My only complaint is the lack of
information regarding the included
accessories. I wasn't expecting all the
extra "goodies" that were included.
I highly recommend this microscope.
