Microscopes
The type of Microscope you choose depends on what you are wanting to view. Â
Broadly microscopes can be divided into two categories:
- Biological ( also known as Compound or high powered ) for viewing the "invisible" things like blood cells, amoebas and bacteria.Â
- Stereo ( also known as Dissecting or low powered) for viewing specimens such as coins, stamps, insects, fabric weaves, insect wings, soil and tiny electrical components. Â
