Enhance your compound microscope with this mechanical stage! It will make using your microscope much easier, allowing you to precisely control slide movement so accidental bumping won't knock your microscope slide out of focus and so you can systematically scan the slide to view the entire specimen. It provides 65 mm movement on the X-axis and 25 mm on the Y-axis. Just insert a slide between the stage clips, and turn the adjustment knobs to position the slide where you want.

You can quickly attach it to a full-size microscope pre-drilled for a mechanical stage, like our Home or Advanced microscopes. Dimensions are 5" across by 4 1/2" tall. $35 list price. Save 29%!

A must have

I hestitated spending the extra money on a "non-essential" but am so glad I did. We were having a tough time scanning slides without the mechanical stage but now using the microscope is a breeze. The kids spent all afternoon preparing and examining slides the very first day it came out of the box. We love it! Thanks for offering this exceptional product.

Mechanical Marvel
Reviewed By: Pam Berrigan 
After using microscopes with mechanical stages in college, I was spoiled. A friend lent our biology class a 'scope without a stage and I vowed my next microscope would have a stage. They make systematically scanning the entire slide a breeze. The microscope we have at co-op is absent a stage and the kids have a hard time doing the scanning. The stage clips have a tendency to be pushed aside as they try to scan, which means there is a greater chance the slide will fall and break. If you don't have, save up.

Scanning is 100% easier!
 
I held out for 3 years, didn't want to spend an extra $30. It was money well spent! We can scan our slides thoroughly, track amoebas and even dinoflagellates all without losing focus at 400x.

I wouldn't want to use a microscope without this. It is worth getting!
