Microscopes

Buy a new or used microscope

At Ganymedes you can buy two different types of new and second-hand microscopes: stereo microscopes and biological microscopes. The last category can be subdivided into the monocular and the binocular. Stereo microscopes are especially suitable for examining jewelry, rocks, mosses and insects, for example. The magnification is lower than with the biological microscopes. The range is between 10x and 60x. This is enough to be able to examine the above subjects carefully. By the way, you look through this microscope with two eyes.

Are you going for a monocular or binocular microscope?

A monocular biological microscope is suitable for short examination, the binocular for longer and more extensive examination. Furthermore, the difference is that you look through the monocular with one eye and through the binocular with two eyes. The magnification has a range of 20x to no less than 1000x. This makes these microscopes extremely suitable for examining even the smallest preparations.
