Microscopes & Accessories

All affordable microscopes (including our choice of models) are manufactured in China, but that doesn't mean they're all alike. Optical and mechanical quality varies dramatically, from excellent to very poor, even though the microscopes may appear identical. You simply can't tell a good Chinese microscope from a bad one just by looking at them.

That's why it's important to buy from a vendor you trust, and one who will stand behind the product. Every microscope sold by Maker Shed must meet our exacting specifications, and undergoes several levels of expert quality-control checking, including individual hand inspection, to ensure that it meets our standards. In the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with a microscope you purchase from Maker Shed, let us know immediately. We'll make it right.

A cover slip is a very thin piece of glass or plastic that is placed atop a specimen on a microscope slide. These 400X microscopes are a huge step up from the "toy" microscopes, and for not much more money. Optically and mechanically, there is simply no comparison. Despite their low prices, these are real microscopes, not toys. They are simple to use, and prepare students for an easy transition to middle school and high school science classes.
