Levenhuk LabZZ M4 Stereo Microscope

Dear Abigail Troy, hi!

The Levenhuk LabZZ M101 is better suited for children than the Levenhuk LabZZ M4 for several reasons:

The M101 offers 6 magnification levels (up to 640x) via a sliding eyepiece (10x–16x) and three objectives (4x, 10x, 40x). This allows kids to explore transparent specimens like cells, microorganisms, or plant structures in detail, which is more aligned with classic "microscope experiments" they might encounter in school.
The M4, by contrast, is a stereo microscope with fixed 40x magnification (2x objective + 20x eyepieces), ideal for observing opaque 3D objects (e.g., rocks, coins, insects) but limited for studying cellular biology.
The M101 includes the Levenhuk K50 Experiment Kit, with prepared slides.This structured approach makes learning engaging and accessible.
The M4 lacks such a kit, requiring kids/parents to source their own specimens, which may be less intuitive but more fun.
The M101 mimics compound microscopes used in schools, preparing kids for classroom science. Its ability to study cells, bacteria, and pond water aligns with common STEM curricula.
The M4, while great for geology or entomology, doesn’t support the same depth of biological exploration.

Levenhuk LabZZ M4 Stereo Microscope shows no distortion, the problem may be that your object is too large and the microscope cannot focus on it. We had no problems with this microscope before.

No, Levenhuk LabZZ M4 microscope is equipped with a non-removable stereo lens.

Levenhuk LabZZ M4 Stereo Microscope has a standard 23.2 mm eyepiece diameter. That means you can replace the eyepiece. However, the kit of Levenhuk LabZZ M4 Stereo Microscope includes two 20x eyepieces; this is the maximum magnification of the eyepieces.

Levenhuk LabZZ M4 Microscope creates 3D images and is perfectly suited for observations of large minerals, stones, coins, soil samples, plants, and bugs. To observe blood, cells, and protozoa, you will need a biological microscope, for example Levenhuk LabZZ M101 Microscope https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-labzz-m101-microscope/ .

This is a great option for a child! Levenhuk LabZZ M4 Microscope creates 3D images of observed objects and is great for examination of large minerals, stones, coins, soil samples, plants, and insects.

Levenhuk LabZZ M4 is a stereo microscope, it is designed for observations of volume samples. You don’t need to use slides to observe them. Our range of products does not include ready-to-use samples for stereoscopic microscopes.
