View samples in 200x magnification
Great where bench space is limited
For samples >5-10um in size
In the lab the microscope is suitable for qualitative sorting of samples, eg sorting organisms that are successfully expressing GFP (or other fluorophores) from those that are not
Great for education, science outreach and demonstrations
Optional hard shell case includes slides and cover slips.
