Quick Microscope Education
Fine Optics
The most important thing in looking for a microscope is fine optics, or
lenses. You want everything to look brilliant and clear. All of
BestScopes.com's lenses are DIN threaded (DIN stands for Deutsche Industrie
Norm). This international standard insures compatibility with lenses
from any microscope manufacturer in the world. Our DIN lenses assure you
that your scope will not become obsolete in the future should you ever have
to replace a lens. Since you can't actually look through our scopes
over the Internet, we'll guarantee our optical quality with a
60-Day Money Back Guarantee on all
our scopes! (Not to mention the manufacturer's
Lifetime Warranty!) All our lenses are
achromatic, which means flatness of field or how clear your
field of view is from edge to edge.
Eyepieces
The lens that is closest to your eye when looking through any microscope is
called the eyepiece or the ocular. All of BestScopes.com's eyepieces
are wide-angle lenses (which means they're as big as a dime) so even
the smallest child can enjoy the view without squinting! Binocular
microscopes have two eyepieces -- one for each eye. Monocular
microscopes have one eyepiece. The eyepiece is labeled with its
magnification (power), such as 10x, meaning it enlarges the image 10 times.
A Seidentopf binocular head is a BestScopes.com standard which means the
eyepieces smoothly twist for interpupillary (distance between the eyes)
adjustment as opposed to the inferior sliding head.
