Levenhuk Rainbow 50L Amethyst Microscope

See Levenhuk Rainbow Microscopes in action

Levenhuk Rainbow 50L Amethyst Microscope is a perfect instrument for anyone to become acquainted with the mystery of the microworld. The wide range of available magnifications allows for studying a great number of various samples. For example, you can examine onion cells, find out if there are really live bacteria in yogurt, discover what kind of unseen microorganisms live in aquarium water, see what paper fibers look like and many other intriguing things. Levenhuk Rainbow 50L Amethyst Microscope stands out among regular biological models – the bright amethyst color makes observations even more fun! All of this makes this microscope a wonderful present for aspiring beginners.

Six degrees of magnification
The microscope comes with three objectives and additional Barlow lens, which doubles the magnification of each used objective. The microscope allows you to observe samples under 40x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 400x and even 800x magnifications out of the box!

The optics are made of quality highly transparent glass. For better transmission of light, the lenses are covered with multilayer coating, making produced images clear and sharp.

Bright LED illuminations
The microscope is equipped with two built-in LED illuminations. Lower illumination is used when observing transparent samples. With bottom light turned on you can find life in a drop of aquarium water or analyze the cellular structure of different plants. Top light is required for observing opaque objects; for example, you can examine the structure of a small stone’s surface or notice microscopic scratches invisible to the naked eye on metal surfaces. With two illuminations you also have an opportunity to observe semi-transparent samples – just turn both top and bottom lights on. Illumination brightness is adjustable, so you can easily change it if needed.

Ease of use
The microscope’s body is made of quality plastic; that’s why the instrument is lightweight and durable at the same time. The head is inclined at 45° so you can observe from a more comfortable position. It’s also rotatable 360° around its axis, which is especially convenient during group observations – the head can be easily rotated for the next participant to observe. For power, you can use either an electrical outlet or 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.

Exciting experiments with microscope
The microscope comes with an experiment kit that allows you to conduct a number of enthralling experiments with the microscope. The kit includes prepared samples to try your new microscope right away, as well as instruments for making your own samples. A useful user guide also provided in the kit includes helpful information on microscope construction, tips on working with it, and a description of interesting experiments.

Case for storage and transportation
The microscope comes in a reliable and convenient plastic case. The case makes storing and transporting the instrument safe and easy – you can be sure that the microscope is protected from dust and impacts.

Can I observe cell division in this microscope? Levenhuk Customer Service:
For that you will need a laboratory microscope. Consider Levenhuk 850B Biological Binocular Microscope - https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-850b/.
Glen Hoffman (2017-06-20 10:17):
Where can I find Paramecium caudatum? Or how can I breed them? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Paramecium caudatum usually lives in freshwater contaminated reservoirs. You can simply get some water from a puddle, tint it and use that water for observations.
Vernon Burke (2017-06-20 09:28):
Can I see at least motionless spermatozoa in this microscope? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Yes, you can see Spermatozoa using Levenhuk Rainbow 50L PLUS Moonstone microscope.

Lewis Riley (2017-06-17 02:08):
I put a drop of water on the slide, then covered it with a cover slip, but couldn't see anything. Why is that? Levenhuk Customer Service:
You will need to tint the water in order to see the microorganisms in it.
Warren Mathews (2017-06-16 08:50):
It turns out, I cannot see even small motionless lamblia? Levenhuk Customer Service:
We can't advise how you will see Giardia using Levenhuk Rainbow 50L PLUS Moonstone microscope, because we do not have this particular sample in our product range.

Yes, you will need a glass slide with a central indentation and a cover slip.
Leroy Dunn (2017-06-14 08:50):
Can I see the division of the Paramecium caudatum in this microscope? Do I necessarily need a slide with the central indentation? Levenhuk Customer Service:

In the "Interesting microscope: studying the micro world" book it is said that I need a slide with the central indentation in order to study microorganisms. Levenhuk Customer Service:
It is easier to do the research using a slide glass with central indentation. But you can use simple ones as well.
Travis Stone (2017-06-13 09:00):
I have an "Invisible world" book, but I couldn't find any information about it there. Levenhuk Customer Service:
Euglena green is in the Protozoa class. You can observe it using a simple slide.
Vincent Hunt (2017-06-13 05:53):

will I see bacteria with this microscope? Levenhuk Customer Service:
For observations of bacteria, consider Levenhuk 320 Biological Microscope - https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-320/. The magnification of the Levenhuk Rainbow 50L Moonstone microscope is not enough.
Benjamin Gross (2017-01-26 09:17):
Does it make sense to buy a 20x lens to this microscope? Will the image quality be preserved? Levenhuk Customer Service:
It is not recommended to purchase a 20x eyepiece to the Levenhuk Rainbow 50L microscope. The image quality will deteriorate.

Paul Carson (2016-05-17 03:27):
Hello! What additional accessories should I buy to this model? Actually I'm choosing between this microscope and Levenhuk 320... The only thing that makes me hesitate is the absence of upper illumination in 320 model - that means I won't be able to observe opaque objects, right? Or a simple table lamp will do the job? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk 320 Biological Microscope will give you a much better image. But yes, it doesn't allow for observing opaque samples. Both microscopes can be equipped with a digital camera (https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/digital-cameras/for-microscopes/) and an eyepiece (https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/eyepieces-for-microscopes/). more
