The Levenhuk Rainbow 50L microscope is a nice gift for anyone interested in science and biology. This instrument allows you to observe and study familiar objects from your surrounding environment with magnifications of 40x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 400x, and even 800x! With this microscope, you could discover the structure of plants, animals, and humans, take a look at the life of microscopic organisms normally hidden from our eyes in their own micro universe, and, of course, conduct many exciting experiments. The kit includes everything a novice might need – the package contains prepared microscope slides ready for immediate observation as well as tools that allow you to create your own slides.
Six levels of magnification
The microscope is equipped with three objectives and an additional Barlow lens that doubles the magnification of each objective used. The microscope allows you to observe samples at magnifications of 40x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 400x, and even 800x!
The optical components are made of high-quality clear glass. For better light transmission, the lenses are coated with a multi-layer coating, which produces clear and sharp images.
Clear LED illumination
The microscope is equipped with two integrated LED illuminations. The lower illumination is used to observe transparent samples. With the bottom light on, you can find life in a drop of aquarium water or analyze the cell structure of various plants. The high light is necessary to observe opaque objects – for example, you can examine the surface structure of a small stone or notice microscopic scratches invisible to the naked eye on metal surfaces. With two illuminations, you also have the possibility to observe semi-transparent samples – turn on both the upper and lower lights. The brightness is adjustable, so you can easily change it if necessary.
Easy to use
The body of the microscope is made of quality plastic – this is why the instrument is lightweight and durable at the same time. The head is tilted at 45°, so you can observe from a more comfortable position. It can also rotate 360° around its axis, which is especially convenient during group observations – the head can be easily rotated to allow the next participant to observe. For operation, you can use a power outlet or batteries.
Attention: Refer to the specifications table for the correct mains voltage and never attempt to connect a 110 V device to a 220 V outlet and vice versa without using a converter. Remember that mains voltage in the United States and Canada is 110 V and 220–240 V in most European countries.
Exciting microscope experiments
The microscope is equipped with an experiment kit that allows for a large number of exciting experiments under the microscope. The kit includes prepared samples to try out your new microscope, as well as the necessary tools to make your own samples. A helpful guide included in the kit contains information about the microscope construction, tips on how to work with it, and descriptions of interesting experiments.
Storage and transport case
The microscope comes with a convenient and reliable plastic case. The case allows safe storage and transport of the instrument – be sure the microscope is protected from dust and shocks.
