The Discovery Centi 01 microscope is a true gem for beginner biology enthusiasts who want to see the incredible beauty of the microcosm and study the life of microorganisms. It is an easy-to-use microscope. It is suitable for studying transparent samples, including sets of prepared slides, and comes with an experiment kit and the educational book 'Invisible World'.
It is a monocular microscope model with a three-lens objective turret and bottom illumination. The magnification range varies from 100x to 300x, sizes sufficient for basic-level observations. The stage has two sample clips and a disc diaphragm. The lighting solution adopted is interesting: a dual system composed of a classic mirror and a battery-powered incandescent bulb. Consequently, it is possible to use both natural and artificial light.
The set includes over 20 accessories. Notably, among them are prepared slides, empty slides, and cover slips, all made of glass, as well as equipment and chemicals to conduct various experiments. The basic microscope set already has everything needed to make it a perfect gift. Very useful for any aspiring microbiologist, the educational book 'Invisible World' presents the main information about the microcosm and suggests the best ways to study it. Moreover, it contains not only theoretical notes but also practical suggestions for performing simple scientific experiments.
An important distinctive element of this microscope: it is sold accompanied by a Discovery Flora and Fauna set which includes 24 pre-prepared slides.
