 Fluorescence Learning Microscope
Fluorescence Learning Microscope (laptop not provided)

This innovative educational microscope provides educators the opportunity to teach fluorescence microscopy in classrooms through hands-on active learning. One of the key features of the microscope is that it can be assembled and disassembled piece-by-piece. This offers a hands-on, inquiry-based opportunity, allowing the user to visually understand the underlying physics of the microscope thus getting a deep understanding of the tool and the principles behind it.

The purchase includes one Fluorescence Learning Microscope kit and a complementary digital educational package containing teaching and learning materials for educators and students. Visit the webpage to learn more about the Fluorescence Learning Microscope and its scope in varied educational contexts.

Educators who have used our microscope kits in their classrooms say

  • The resource allows ‘‘students to use high end research technology while grasping the basic principles behind its function.’’
  • The resource provides ‘‘cutting-edge research experience in a nutshell.’’
  • The resource shows ‘‘care and effort to tune the educational resource to the needs of teachers, very versatile—an extremely helpful support of teaching.’’
Optional services (to be requested separately)
  • Individual, personal (online) assembly training in English (2 h)
    • content covered:
      • Building the microscope
