Description

Levenhuk LabZZ M2 Microscope is a great instrument for a young biologist. The microscope is very easy to use; it allows for studying transparent microscope samples, and also comes with an interesting experiment kit. A kid will be able to observe ready-to-use microscope slides and watch Artemia’s growth in a hatchery. The kit also includes special tools for independent preparation of microscope samples.

Levenhuk LabZZ M2 Microscope has a revolving nosepiece equipped with three objective lenses. The lenses come pre-installed. These lenses enable you to obtain several fixed magnifications in the 100x–900x range. Illumination is located below the stage. You can choose a mirror or LED – the illumination unit rotates around its axis.

The stage is equipped with special metal clips for sample fixation. Focusing is carried out by means of a separate knob. Illumination runs on batteries (not included). The body is lightweight–made of reliable plastic. The microscope with all the enclosures is packed in a bright colorful box.

Questions and Answers

Emma Wright (2018.01.06)

Glue in the kit? What is it used for?

Customer service:

It serves as a fixator of a sample on the microscope slide.

Archer Flint (2017.12.13)

Hello! Can I observe opaque samples with this model?

Customer service:

Levenhuk LabZZ M2 Microscope is equipped with lower illumination only; therefore you won’t be able to observe opaque samples, only transparent. Please consider Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Microscope https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-rainbow-2l-microscope/ - the model has combined illumination, allowing you to explore both transparent and opaque objects.

Steve (2017.10.12)

Hi! Does this microscope require batteries?

Customer service:

They are only required in case you want to use incandescent lamp illumination. Using mirror illumination, you won’t need them.

Eugene Watt (2017.08.05)

Could you tell me please how should I use the Barlow lens that is included in 50L Plus microscope kit? Should I just fix it in the ocular tube and then put an eyepiece on top for the 2x magnification? Or do I need to pull the tube out in order to get the 2x magnification? Also, what does the scale from 10 to 40 on the Barlow Lens mean?

Customer service:

In order to get larger magnification you need to pull out the Barlow lens. The more you pull it out, the larger its magnification. The scale shows the level of magnification.
