# 1 Best-Selling Micro!
----------------------------
From the multi-awarded My First Lab micro series comes the
MFL Duo-, Winner of The Top Toy Award by Creative Child
Magazine and Still the # 1 Best Selling Micro; specially
designed and developed to allow young scientists, ages nine and
over, to examine specimens such as Blood Cells or Organ Tissue on
real micro slides, as well as view small solid objects like
s, Coins and Insects. With its Dual cool LED illumination,
the Duo- is two micros in one, in that it can function
as either a compound micro, with the light shining up from
underneath, for viewing micro slides, or it can function as
a dissecting stereo micro, where the light shines down from
above, for use when observing solid objects. The Duo-
assures that everyone will be amazed by the detail in the
magnified images they will now be able to see.
A Real Biological Micro!
-----------------------------
The Duo- is an authentic, scientist-grade, biological
micro and is not to be confused with TOYS, which cl to
offer higher magnifications but are unable offer CLARITY. The
Duo- uses real optical glass lenses that have been specially
crafted to provide the user with crystal-clear 40x, 100x, and
400x magnification, to view slides or solid objects through a 10x
eyepiece, which also functions as a magnifying glass when removed
from the eyepiece tube and turned over.
Designed for Maximum Portability!
---------------------------------
Designed for maximum portability, the Duo- features an
impact-resistant frame and is AA battery powered, so whether
examining the surface of a coin in the attic, studying a tiny
insect's hairy legs in the garage, or checking out different
rocks and leaves in the yard, the Duo- is the ideal
companion for venturing out into the Exciting World of Science.
Frequently Asked Questions:
---------------------------
Q – I SAW ANOTHER MICRO WITH 1600X MAGNIFICATION. IS THAT
MICROECSPE BETTER BECAUSE IT OFFERS ME A HIGHER MAGNIFICATION? A
– Not exactly. A higher magnification does not always translate
into a better micro since clarity is the most important
attribute to consider. At 1000X magnification, OIL between the
objective and lens is sometimes required in order to achieve
better clarity. We have carefully selected a range of
magnification that will be easily viewed by our young scientists
to avoid frustration when making adjustments to higher
magnifications. Q – CAN THE DUO BE USED FOR REAL-LIFE
EDUCATIONAL APPLICATIONS, LIKE SCHOOL PROJECTS? A – Absolutely
Yes! , the Duo- is an authentic laboratory-grade scientific
tool that will accompany the user all through their high-school
education.Q – HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MICRO TO BUY? A - The type
of micro to buy depends on your intended application,
because basically, STEREO MICROS, Offer lower magnification
and are primarily intended for applications that require you to
“work” in a magnified work-space and provide you with the ability
to view specimens that do not fit on a micro slide. A
COMPUND MICRO offers higher magnification and is used to
view specimen so small that it needs to be ed on a slide.
DUO-S are dual functioning micros that can do a little
of both! Q – I SAW A CHEAPER MICRO. WHAT MAKES THIS ONE
BETTER? A - We only use glass optics. Buying a micro with
plastic optics is like comparing looking through a clean window
and a dirty window. Even if you do not buy our micro we
recommend you buy a micro with glass optics Q – HOW DO I
KNOW IF I AM ON THE RIGHT MAGNIFICATION? A – Magnification is
determined by multiplying the power of the eyepiece, with the
power of the objective. The Duo- features a 10x eyepiece, a
4x objective, a 10x objective and a 40X objective, thus providing
the used with a range of 40x to 400x magnification. Q – HOW DO I
KNOW HOW MUCH MAGNIFICATION I NEED? A – The a of
magnification needed depends on your intended application, the
specimen type. See the chart below: A.1 - 10x to 40x is the ideal
magnification range for viewing Insects, jewelry, keys, and even
small toys. A.2 - At 40x to 100x magnification, cells and organ
tissue are now visible, as well as some smaller solid items. A.3
- 100x to 400x magnification is the most frequently used
magnification range for general laboratory applications and
offers higher definition images of blood cells and organ tissue
and nerves.
