- Two built-in LED illuminations allow observing non-transparent objects in transmitted and reflected light.
- Reliable performance: body and elements are all-metal (silumin), not plastic.
- High image quality: eyepieces, objectives and all other optical elements are multi-coated and highly transparent.
- Focusing mechanism and stage move smoothly, without jerks or backlash.
Magnification up to 640x
Microscope magnification depends on the objective lens and eyepiece lens magnifications. Eyepiece is the upper part of the tube of the microscope that you look into. Objective is located below; and creates the image you see in the eyepiece. One WF16x eyepiece and three objectives (4x, 10x and 40x) are included in the package.
Observing non-transparent objects
The Levenhuk 2L NG Microscope, unlike other teaching microscopes, is equipped with two built-in illuminations. Both illuminations are LED, which ensures minimal energy consumption while providing sufficient light. Illumination systems are located above and below the stage, and allow observing both transparent and opaque objects: from tiny solid particles to coins, paper, fabrics, etc.
Power supply
The microscope features an AC adapter, for stationary observations without batteries.
Caution: Please refer to the specifications table for the correct mains voltage and never attempt to plug a 110V device into 220V outlet and vice versa without using a converter. Remember that mains voltage in the U.S. and Canada is 110V and 220-240V in most European countries.
The kit includes:
- Microscope
- Objectives: 4x, 10x and 40x
- Eyepiece: WF16x
- Stage with clips
- Diaphragm disk
- Built-in upper and lower LED illuminations
- AC adapter
- 3 AA batteries
- User manual and lifetime warranty

bought this microscope approx a year and a half ago, have been using it with pleasure during this time. Everything is just great! But I want to achieve its maximum efficiency by adding more powerful accessories. I want to buy some new objectives: 60x/0.85 160/0.17 (M1) or 100x/1.25 160/0.17 (M1). Are they suitable for this microscope? Their parfocal distance is 45 mm (DIN standard). tHANKS. Levenhuk Customer Service:
Unfortunately, there are no suitable objectives for the Levenhuk 2L NG microscope model in our product range.

(2014-12-21 01:25):

Is it possible to increase magnification with this model? Wouldn't it affect image quality? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Your can get higher magnification with Levenhuk 2L NG Microscope if you install a more powerful eyepiece (for example http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/levenhuk-20x-eyepiece/), but this will lead to significant decrease in image quality.
(2014-10-18 10:53):

Hello! Is it possible to observe diamond facet edges (presence of chips) (0.15ct) ? Levenhuk Customer Service:

(2014-06-11 10:17):

is it possible to see germs on your fingers? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Bacteria can not be seen with amateur microscopes, since most of bacteria are very small, and they can be observed only under 1200x increase (at least) and the sample should be stained. Thus professional microscopes and special sample preparation techniques are necessary to observe bacteria.
(2014-06-11 11:22):

(2014-02-11 04:16):

Tell me please... I really like Levenhuk 2L NG microscope, but I have a question: can I see bacteria and cells with it? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Cell structure can be seen through the Levenhuk 2L NG microscope, but, as for bacteria - they can't be observed using amateur microscopes since almost all bacteria are very tiny and can be seen only under the magnification of at least 2000x and samples must be stained. So you will need a professional (not amateur) microscope and special methods of sample preparation.
