Why AmScope?
AmScope combines professional-grade optics, reliable mechanics and broad accessory ecosystems at accessible prices. From student labs and clinics to research, soil and live-blood practitioners, AmScope provides options that scale from entry-level to advanced laboratory use.
Compound vs Stereo Microscopes — Which one do you need?
Compound Microscopes (40× – 2000×+)
Compound microscopes are designed to view thin, light-transmissive specimens on slides — cells, bacteria, tissue sections, blood, and microorganisms. They provide high magnification using multiple objective lenses and are the standard for laboratory, clinical and live-blood analysis.
- High magnification for cellular-level detail
- Often binocular or trinocular (camera port available)
- Works with brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast and specialised condensers
- Used in clinics, research labs, pathology and education
Stereo (Dissecting) Microscopes (7× – 45×+)
Stereo microscopes provide a low-magnification, three-dimensional view of larger objects — ideal for PCB inspection, dissection, jewellery work, coins, fossils and any handheld object that requires depth perception and manipulation.
- Wide, 3D view with long working distance
- Great for inspection, repair and hands-on tasks
- Usually no slide prep required — observe objects as-is
- Common in education, manufacturing, restoration, surgical and hobbyist work
In short: Compound for slides & microbes, Stereo for 3D inspection and hands-on work.

AmScope 4K HDMI Camera — HD408N-EUL-3PL
The AmScope HD Series 4K camera delivers ultra-high resolution (3840×2160 HDMI preview) at 30fps — sharp, detailed live video without a PC. It's designed for stand-alone HDMI output and also supports PC capture, LAN/Wi-Fi streaming on compatible models.
Key benefits: immediate HDMI output to TV/monitor, crisp 4K detail for client consultations, and easy installation into trinocular microscope ports.
Why this matters: For live-blood analysis or client-facing demonstrations, showing the microscope view on a large screen builds trust and improves communication — you can show exactly what you see, live.
Stereo (Dissecting) Microscope Recommendations
If you inspect PCBs, jewellery, fossils, coins or perform precision assembly/repair, you’ll want a stereo microscope. Here are practical recommendations:
Affordable models for hobbyists, schools and light inspection tasks. Wide depth-of-field, flexible lighting options, and long working distance.

Higher-quality optics for industrial inspection, jewellery & lab use. Often supplied with trinocular or camera options for documentation.

If you perform live-blood analysis for client consultations, training or clinic diagnosis, the right setup makes all the difference:
Core Recommended Kit
- Trinocular compound microscope with darkfield condenser (e.g., T340)
- AmScope 4K HDMI camera (HD408N) for direct monitor output
- High-quality prepared slides + disposable capillary tubes
- Stable LED illumination with adjustable intensity
- Local lifetime support and calibration from CyberTrek
Note: Darkfield is essential for many live-blood techniques; paired with 4K HDMI output it enables clear client-facing demonstrations without a PC.
Clinical Workflow — Simple
- Prepare finger-prick capillary sample on slide
- View at 400× or 1000× using brightfield/darkfield
- Stream the live view to an HDMI monitor for client explanation
- Capture stills or short video clips for documentation (HD camera supports local capture)
