This solid, all metal, high quality instrument is purpose built for classroom and home use by explorers young and old. All metal construction and a good range of anti-spoil features including locked-on eyepiece and stage clips, slip-clutch on the focusing movement to prevent over-focusing and focus-stop to prevent damage to glass micro-slides and objective lens. The classic simple design and sensible safety features make this a good instrument for the junior user and for less demanding hobby use (pet breeding parasite identification for example).
This model is provided with a smooth rack and pinion focus system particularly suited for Middle/Lower Secondary School use.
So what's so great about the Acutech P-1 Classic?
This is a handsome and solidly well made instrument. Its all metal construction will ensure decades of service life. Although targeted at the junior user it will satisfy many serious amateur users wishing to gain close-up views of bird and animal parasites etc. All its controls operate smoothly and it is a great student starter microscope. The Classic is a simple instrument that illuminates glass slide specimens via a tilting mirror beneath the slide stage.
This microscope is a suitable instrument for users aged 7+.
