An advanced, high-precision microscope for the bright, inquiring child or adult hobbyist
As a serious tool for the amateur scientist, the Meade Model 9400 presents a microscopic world of unimagined complexity and variation. View objects in an entirely new dimension, from the subtle cell structure of a maple leaf to the protozoa that inhabit common pond water. The Model 9400 is a microscope that will grow with the user's expanding interests in microscopy.
The Model 9400 includes as standard equipment a range of features not generally available on microscopes in its price class: three large professional-size objective lenses (4x, 10x, and 40x) are mounted on a rotating turret; a precision coarse-and-fine rack-and-pinion focuser permits sharp focusing of the image even at the highest powers; and a 10x wide-field eyepiece yields magnifications of 40x, 100x, and 400x. For many a bright child or amateur adult botanist/biologist, the Model 9400 is all the microscope ever required.
