Microscopes

[FLO]

This is the time of year when we consider presents for kids that don't involve them being sat in front of the telly!

With this in mind we are offering two microscopes, both costing less than £100

These are not 'toy' microscopes. They are designed for classroom use and are built from metal and optical glass with smooth, precise focus mechanisms.

Both microscopes include a set of prepared slides.

Zenith P-3A Student Microscope

Price £59.90

A high quality instrument purpose-built for heavy classroom use. Anti-tamper safety features include locked-on eyepiece and stage clips, slip-clutch on the focusing movement to prevent over-focusing and focus-stop to prevent damage to glass microslides and objective lenses. This model is provided with coarse focusing only and is particularly suited for Middle/Lower Secondary School use.

Zenith P-6A Student microscope

Price £74.90

Another purpose built student microscope, similar to model P-3A but physically larger with both coarse and fine focusing mechanisms. Anti-tamper safety features include locked-on eyepiece and stage slips, slip-clutch on the focusing movements to prevent over-focusing and a focus-stop to prevent damage to glass microslides and objective lenses. Recommended for use up to GCSE standard.
