"I now saw very plainly that these were little eels or worms, lying all huddled up together and wriggling; just as if you saw, with the naked eye, a whole tubful of very little eels and water, with the little eels, a-squirming among one another: and the whole water seemed to be alive with these multifarious animalcules. This was for me, among all the marvels that I have discovered in nature, the most marvelous of all."

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, Oct 9, 1676. Inventor of the microscope describing his observations of protozoa under his early microscope.

Welcome to Home School Microscopes, your best choice for quality educational microscopes for the home school student. We provide the best selection of good quality home school student microscopes at discount bargain prices. Choose from our monocular compound microscopes, binocular compound microscopes, and trinocular compound microscopes. Our scopes are excellent for beginner kids and children as well as high school kids taking home school science classes. A compound light microscope is a great tool for the student taking beginning and advanced levels of biology and science classes. It is a window into the microworld. Introducing the microscope to a student is like introducing a whole new exciting world to view and learn. Education and typical science and biology classes don't have to be boring. The microscope makes learning fun.

All of our homeshool microscopes can be fitted with digital USB computer connected microscope cameras for capturing digital still images and digital video on the computer. Computers are the tool of choice in today's work environment. But while today's kids tend to be experts at the games and online social forums, they may not be learning the skills needed to make the computer a useful educational tool that can prepare them for a science or medical career. To enhance a home school student's learning experience, the microscope can be interfaced with the computer's USB port. This can lead to hours of enjoyable home school learning by capturing the digital still images of biological prepared Home School Microscopes or watching the video of a moving mosquito larva from a pond water sample.

What grade of home school microscope should I buy? You might be confused with all the economical microscope deals and bargains from home school suppliers and science and educational stores. Not all economy microscopes can meet the needs of the home school student and their science and biology class educational needs. All of our homeschool microscopes meet our standard of quality and viewing capability. A simple cheap microscope from a science store will probably cost you more than some of our scope models, yet provide you less optical quality. Many of them should be considered a simple microscope toy and not a home school science lab microscope. Even a cheap microscope toy can give you 400x power magnification. But a beginning student will quickly lose interest as the microscope image quality is so poor in the cheap microscope toy. Buying too cheap of a microscope degrades the learning experience and leaves the student frustrated with the science class. You want the educational experience of the student to be fun, and the science and biology classes welcomed by the home school student. A good quality, reasonably priced homeschool microscope should enhance the learning experience and stimulate the student's mind to want to learn more. We recommend selecting a good balance between a homeschool microscope's price and the scope's cost. Most homeschool students don't have a large budget to spend on educational science equipment, but they need good equipment to meet the demands of the home school science and biology curriculum.

A home school science student will need more than simply a microscope. They also need prepared Home School Microscopes with well stained biological specimens for easy and clear viewing under the microscope. In addition, they need blank Home School Microscopes and blank microscope cover slips so they can do their own home science experiments and enjoy making their own microscope specimens for viewing. We carry a full assortment of microscope accessories to fill the needs of the homeschool student.

Individual home school student's microscope needs do vary. And each student has their own educational budget. We recommend you call our sales agents to discuss the student's educational grade level, particular science and biology curriculum, and educational budget. We are always happy to assist home school students and their parents in finding the best educational microscope equipment for their individual needs.
