The
Zenith P-3A is a microscope suitable for use in primary,
middle and secondary schools, as well as for college use.
Using high quality optics, it offers sharp, bright images
and is designed to last and last. It's price means that
not only does it make a very competitive purchase for schools
and college use, but it also falls into the upper price
range of parents who are looking to buy their children a
good microscope as an educational toy. While the P-3A boasts
very good optics at this price level (we believe the quality
of the optics are the most important thing), this microscope
does require an external light source. This is actually
not as impractical as you might think. The specially-designed
concave mirror is easy for a child to position correctly,
and enables either sunlight or a nearby lamp to be used
to illuminate the slide being viewed.

Zenith P3 A Student Microscope
enlarge
image
A high quality instrument purpose
built for heavy classroom use. Anti-tamper safety features
include locked-on eyepiece and stage clips, slip-clutch
on the focusing movement to prevent over-focusing and
focus-stop to prevent damage to glass microslides and
objective lenses. This model is provided with coarse focusing
only and is particularly suited for Middle/Lower Secondary
School use.
What we also particularly like about the Zenith
P3 A Microscope from Zenith is that it achieves
a very good trade-off between quality and price. The magnification
of 400x may seem low in comparison to quoted magnifications
of less serious "toy" Microscopes, however you can be
sure that the P 3A uses optics that are superior in quality.
The result is that the Zenith P 3A provides particularly
clear and bright images that reveal more than other Microscopes
quoting higher magnifications, which commonly suffer from
poor-quality, low-detailed and dull images with such a
narrow field of view that proper observation is impossible.
The Zenith P3 A Student Microscope enables students and
children to discover a wealth of hidden secrets, without
costing the earth! And, we have to admit, the remarkable
quality of the images makes this microscope stand out
from other Microscopes in this price range.

Choosing a Microscope: There are two main categories
of Microscope: The low power stereomicroscope (which produces
a 3D image of a whole object), and the high power or compound
which can magnify up to x1500 and is used for slide preparations.
Stereo microscopes have a greater depth of focus than a
high power microscope, allowing much more of the object
depth to be in focus at the same time. Stereomicroscopes
are used for looking at whole objects without the need for
slide preparation and are ideal for those with a general
interest in the smaller forms of nature or specifically
for examining insects, flowers, coins and metal objects,
etc. Stereomicroscopes are an ideal introduction to microscopy
for children who are able to look at any object instantly,
and at a relatively low magnification which allows them
to make sense of what they see. Compound microscopes are
used for examining slide preparations of very thin objects,
or slices through larger objects, flattened objects or things
which are themselves microscopic. Slide preparations are
illuminated from beneath (using a mirror or in built illumination).
A typical magnification range may extend from x40 upto x1000.
