closePreparing a slide for study under a microscope is no simple task. First, you require special tools to cut a thin slice off the sample; second, you need to be very accurate and cautious to place the slice on the slide and cover it without ruining the slice or the glass. Knowing how much work it is, most people prefer to avoid this as much as possible. That is why we have created experiment kits that you can use to study various samples right after unpacking the box! No more cutting, no more placing, no more adding resin to complete the process – all slides in Levenhuk N10 NG are already prepared, and all you need to do is place one on the stage and focus the view.

Magnification up to 640x
Microscope magnification depends on the objective lens and eyepiece lens magnifications. The eyepiece is the upper part of the tube of the microscope that you look into. The 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 3L 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.

Does this microscope have a 10x wide field lens? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Hi, Thanks for the query. The Levenhuk 3L NG Microscope comes with the following objective lenses: 4x, 10x and 40x.
(2016-01-01 11:03):
I don't understand how to use 40x eyepiece. It's always dark when looking through the eyepiece. What could be the problem? Levenhuk Customer Service:
You can find the detailed instructions in the user manual. At the highest increase you can observe transparent thin slices. Change magnification power gradually from low to high. Smoothly adjust focus every time you change magnification power.
(2016-01-01 05:27):
Hello! I bought this microscope as a new year gift for my son. I have a few questions to ask: 1. does the kit include cover slips? We didn't find them in the package... 2. how to observe at 640 x? we tried to adjust focus but it didn't work, couldn't see anything... 3. one more thing. the eyepiece was disassembled when delivered, we somehow managed to assemble it but we also scratched the glass, and now those scratches can be seen when observing... can I buy those glasses separately (for 16x eyepiece)? thank you! Levenhuk Customer Service:
1. Cover slips are not included in the kit. You can buy the separately here - https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/levenhuk-g100-cover-slips/. 2. You need to start with low magnification power, then switch to a more powerful objective and smoothly adjust focus. 3. Eyepieces are delivered assembled. We don't sell those glasses separately.
(2015-12-09 10:34):
Hello, if I buy this scope, can I also purchase a case for it? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Unfortunately, microscope cases are not available in our store. Please consider Levenhuk 50L NG Microscope - https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-50l-ng/

guys, the microscope is great! the kit is just awesome! yesterday we saw rotifers! But it seems there's a mistake in the product description - I didn't get a cover, which I don't need anyways... and amateur microscope model isn't supposed to have a condenser, am I right? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk 3L NG Microscope comes with both dust cover and condenser. The dust cover is packed in a small transparent bag. The condenser is located between the stage and the illuminator. Amateur and educational microscopes are usually equipped with fixed and non-removable condenser.

Is this a good microscope for a 5 year old who is interested in all things science? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Dear Bethany, thank you for interest in Levenhuk products. Yes, it is a perfect choice! This microscope comes with an advanced kit. In any case, the microscope should be used with an adult present. Is there any additional information you might need?
(2014-11-30 07:34):
Hello! I need your advice... I've heard that when observing microscope samples with large objectives, the top lighting gets in the way (when rotating) isn't it so? Maybe I should consider another model? Let's say... Levenhuk 50L NG? Thank you! Levenhuk Customer Service:
No, the upper illumination of the Levenhuk 3L NG microscope won't get in the way. We recommend that you consider the Levenhuk 50L NG model as it provides higher magnification power.
(2014-11-29 03:15):
How does this model differ from Levenhuk 2L NG? Levenhuk Customer Service:
These models are similar. The only difference between them is that Levenhuk 3L NG Microscope comes with the Levenhuk K50 experiment kit and a dust cover.
(2014-11-12 09:24):

To see the components of blood in detail, a microscope has to provide at least 1500x increase. To examine blood cells we would recommend using Levenhuk D320L Digital Biological Microscope - http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-d320l/
(2014-11-07 07:00):
what is the difference between bright-field and dark-field methods? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Bright-field microscopy is a technique that is used for observing transparent samples with light-absorbing particles. For example, thin stained slices of animal and plant tissues, minerals in thin-section, and so on. Dark field method is used in biology to observe transparent non-absorbing objects invisible in bright field, such as for example bacteria.
(2014-11-07 06:12):
What's the difference between binocular and monocular microscopes?? Levenhuk Customer Service:
A binocular microscope has two eyepieces (one for each eye); a monocular microscope - one eyepiece only.
(2014-09-01 10:45):
I am reading ""Attractive Microscope. Scrutinizing the Microcosm"" User Guide and I have couple of questions: 1. I've read that I can make a 'hanging drop' using special slide with a hole. But such slide is not included in the kit. What can I do about it? 2. it says that it's possible to use a drop of resin under high magnifications (how will I clean it off afterwards?) I thought that only immersion oil can be used and only with immersion objectives under very large increases, am I wrong? Levenhuk Customer Service:
In the 'Attractive Microscope. Scrutinizing the Microcosm""' User Guide there's no mention of this slide being included in the kit. You can always purchase microscope slides separately. A drop of resin is used to paste cover slips and slides together, it has nothing to do with immersion technique.
(2014-08-27 09:34):
Hello! Is it possible to use a video eyepiece with 3L NG, 2L NG microscopes? Which video eyepieces are suitable? I mean, can I view images on a PC monitor? Record videos? Levenhuk Customer Service:

Good day! A child (10 y/o) is interested in microscopes. Does it make sense to pay extra money for the Levenhuk 50L NG, or will the 3L NG be enough for the kid? Having compared these two models, I see that the main difference is the magnification. What interesting things can't be seen with 3L NG, but visible with 50L NG? Thanks for answering. Levenhuk Customer Service:
