Microscopes

Hobby & Amateur

The Hobby and Amateur section includes entry-level models at reasonable prices. The stereo microscopes in this section are particularly suitable for children. But they are also useful for stamp or coin collectors, hobby mineralogists or amateur nature-enthusiasts. The microscopes in this section are used for example for the aquarist’s analysis of bacterial or parasites, or for an introduction to microscopy for ambitious nature-enthusiasts who are willing to deal with the preparation of specimens.

Microscopy is a fascinating and engaging hobby, ideal for both adults and children from around the age of 10. The amateur and hobbyist segment offers a wide range of entry-level and advanced models at affordable prices.

There are many different types of microscopes, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your needs. Leading brands for hobby microscopes include Euromex, Omegon, Optika, and Motic.

Whether you're looking for microscopes for children, collectors such as numismatists and philatelists, nature enthusiasts, DIY hobbyists, maker, or for interests like mineralogy or parasite analysis—you’ll find the right model here.
