Overview

The VOBU compound microscope aims squarely at newcomers who want range without a steep learning curve. Its headline figure is a 40x to 2000x magnification span, built from 195 achromatic objectives at 4x, 10x, and 40x and swappable wide-angle eyepieces in 10x and 25x. Three-step objective switching supports a natural workflow: low power to find the specimen, higher power to study it. The lenses use a multi-layer green anti-reflective coating and achromatic optimization, a combination VOBU credits for strong light transmission and minimal glare. It's a spec sheet pitched at students, home hobbyists, and school labs rather than research professionals.

Construction details reinforce that beginner focus. The instrument ships in a shock- and drop-resistant foam case, and a 360° rotating tube lets several people share a view without repositioning the whole scope. Coaxial coarse and fine focusing handles clarity, while the top-tier objective carries a spring-loaded anti-collision mechanism to guard slides. The dual LED system is the standout: a lower light for transparent biological sections and water samples, an upper light for minerals, hair, and solid surfaces, with five color filters on hand to correct tint across stained specimens. Two power options extend use outdoors, and the included starter kit — phone mount, dissection tools, droppers, prepared and blank slides — gives first-time users everything to begin preparing samples.

Key Features

【Versatile Design】Compound Microscope features a variety of functions: a 360° rotating tube for flexible viewing angles; two power options for use both at home and outdoors; and coaxial coarse and fine focusing for precise adjustment of image clarity

【Up/Down dual LED dimming】When both lights are on, they allow for three-dimensional observation of semi-transparent specimens. The lower LED is suitable for observing transparent/semi-transparent biological sections, water samples, and mite eggs, while the upper LED is ideal for observing minerals, hair, and the surfaces of solid objects. Paired with five-color filters, they can be quickly switched and inserted into the optical path. Effectively addresses color cast and grayish tint issues for various stained specimens and magnification requirements, enhancing specimen texture contrast

【195 Objective】Microscope for adults equiped with 195 achromatic objective (4x, 10x, 40x),paired with wide-angle 10x and 25x eyepieces, offers multiple magnification options. Three-step objective switching enables continuous observation from 40x to 2000x: low magnification for locating images, medium magnification for detailed examination. The lenses feature multi-layer green anti-reflective coating and achromatic optimization, ensuring high light transmission, minimal glare, and a crystal-clear image. The high-magnification objective features a spring-loaded anti-collision mechanism to prevent crushing of glass slides.

【Lab Starter Kit】Microscope comes with a custom-designed shock- and drop-resistant foam case, Beginner’s Starter Kit, which includes: a phone mount, dust bag, scalpel, tweezers, petri dish, lens cloth, cotton swabs, dropper, blotting paper, air blower, dissection needle, microscope and digital display charger set, pre-prepared specimens, as well as clear slides and cover slips, allowing children to DIY various plant and animal samples.

【Services】This versatile microscope is ideal for school teaching, biology labs, farm and livestock testing, and water quality analysis. Explore the microscopic world layer by layer—from insect eggs to microorganisms. Your satisfaction is our top priority. We provide 24/7 support to resolve any issues and offer comprehensive after-sales service. Shop with confidence

Frequently Asked Questions

It spans 40x to 2000x, using 195 achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 40x) combined with the wide-angle 10x and 25x eyepieces for multiple step options.
The lower LED illuminates transparent and semi-transparent samples like biological sections and water, while the upper LED lights solid surfaces such as minerals and hair. Both can run together.
Yes, within limits. The upper LED lights solid surfaces like minerals and hair, but as a compound scope it shows only the top surface rather than a full three-dimensional view.
Yes. It ships with a foam case and a starter kit including a phone mount, dissection tools, droppers, pre-prepared specimens, and blank slides for preparing DIY plant and animal samples.
Five color filters insert into the optical path and switch quickly to counter color cast and grayish tint on stained specimens, improving contrast across different magnifications.
Yes. VOBU lists two power options so the microscope can be used both at home and outdoors, though the source doesn't specify battery type or runtime.
