XP100 Student Chidren Biological Microscope for Shcool Hobbyists
The XP100 is a monocular biological microscope designed for school science labs and hobbyist use.

Product Overview
The XP100 is a monocular biological microscope designed for school science labs and hobbyist use. It features a Huygens eyepiece system with 5X, 10X, 12.5X, 15X, and 16X options, paired with achromatic objectives at 4X, 10X, 40X, and 100X. The microscope uses a concave-plan reflector for ambient light or can be upgraded with an LED lamp for consistent illumination. A 120mm x 120mm plain stage with paired clips holds slides securely, and the Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 and iris diaphragm improves resolution at higher magnifications.

Customization Options
- Choose between concave-plan reflector and optional LED lamp for illumination
- Select any Huygens eyepiece from 5X to 16X to match the desired magnification
- Use any combination of achromatic objectives (4X, 10X, 40X, 100X) for different magnification levels
- Upgrade to a full LED illumination system for consistent lighting in low-light environments
Comparison With Other Options
| XP100 with LED lamp vs XP100 with reflector | The LED lamp provides stable, consistent illumination regardless of ambient light; the reflector relies on external light and may vary in brightness |
|---|---|
| XP100 with 100X objective vs XP100 without 100X objective | The 100X objective enables oil immersion use and higher resolution at 400X and 1000X; omitting it reduces cost and complexity for lower magnification tasks |
| XP100 vs a digital microscope with screen-only view | The XP100 provides a traditional optical view with no screen dependency; digital microscopes require power and may lack the depth perception of a true optical system |
Use Guide
- Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eyes before focusing, even though it is a monocular head
- Start with the lowest magnification (4X) and coarse focus before moving to higher objectives
- Use the rotating disc diaphragm to control light intensity and improve contrast at higher magnifications
- For 100X objective, ensure the condenser is raised and the iris diaphragm is adjusted to N.A. 1.25
- If using the LED lamp, connect it to a power source and ensure the light is evenly distributed across the stage

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum magnification of the XP100?
The maximum magnification is 1600X, achieved with a 16X eyepiece and 100X objective
Can I use oil immersion with the 100X objective?
The 100X objective is designed for oil immersion, but the condenser must be adjusted to N.A. 1.25 and oil applied to the slide
Does the microscope come with a built-in light source?
No. The standard model uses a concave-plan reflector. An LED lamp is available as an optional upgrade
What size slides does the stage accept?
The 120mm x 120mm stage accepts standard 76mm x 26mm slides and larger specimens with proper support
Can I use this microscope for teaching in a classroom?
Yes. The monocular head, multiple eyepieces, and stable stage make it suitable for student use in school labs
Is the condenser adjustable?
Yes. The Abbe condenser is adjustable in height and includes an iris diaphragm for controlling light
