How does the LED lamp on this microscope compare to the Tungsten lamp in the AmScope model that is the same price? Wavelength & Output?

The LED produces low heat. LED technology is such today that it will astound you how well it performs. It will also last for a long, long, long time. Furthermore, it consumes very little electricity. The benefit is that your observed specimens will not dry out as quickly. Very nice.

I think the only advantage tungsten has is that it's more brighter so probably good for viewing things such as leaves or pollen but led is better if you want the thing you are viewing to still be alive.

Led lights produce almost no heat. Tungsten, on the other hand can raid a blister if you touch it for a short time. This translate to tungsten bulbs cooking your slide while little critters move happily about above the led.

Possibly but I would recommend a microscope with at least 60X. You can also find ones for a few more dollars that have LED and UV lighting.

I would thank that you would. Have to read all of the spectra for each model # and compare closely, could be an extra coating on the linse, could be minimem focal distence just compare very closely

Explain that you have an interest in science and that this microscope will enhance your learning. Honestly, I cannot imagine why any parent would not want to buy this for their child. The microscope is only $25.55, but an interest in science, and pursuing that interest are priceless.

Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting us, Let us explain for you about your confusion, they are all dimmable LED desk lamp with the same material and design. But there are two differences as below: 1. Sale price B00BX8RR2M / B00CM171BQ (Asin) is USD 89.99 B00BX8RRJA (Asin) is USD 64.99 2. Function B00BX8RR2M / B00CM171BQ support five steps brightness ajustment and five different color temperatures control, so the desk lamp can meet the diversified demands from customers. B00BX8RRJA just support five steps brightness ajustment only, it has common function to meet the needs of most customer. Hope this can help you. Kindly please contact us once you have any questions about our products. It's our pleasure to service you. Best Regards Customer service Saicoo

Hi, I can't answer in specifics, but the light easily outshines all other portable lamps owned by my stichery group members. I'm the second person in the group to buy one and I'm very happy.

I don't have a lumen tester, but it seems much brighter than your normal led light. I'm a cable guy and looking under homes or in the attic, this piece will light it up for sure, and it won't hurt your eyes as some do. I was very happy with it till I lost it after the 2nd week. The clip is not reliable. It bends way to easy. It came off my belt and I know someone out there is happy to have it. Hope that helps. It's worth the money.

The box it came in does not say. I have a 40W high intensity lamp. It is 280 lumens. I turned it on and the 30 LED lamp beside it. The LED lamp was little brighter, but, it is like a flashlight. It has about a spot about five inches in diameter. It does have some peripheral light, but mainly it's a spot.

I would call amscope - their customer service is excellent. Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes but it is a very expensive option. I found an excellent magnifying lamp from harbor freight for about 20.00 ( on sale and 25% off coupon) normally about 39.00. The only potential drawback is that it is florescent if that is an issue for you.

I found it comparable in clarity to the same magnification in the microscopes at our University's labs. I observed motile bacilli & cocci in a droplet of yogurt the first time I tried it out, and the focus was quite clear. I don't think the visual field is quite as large as larger microscopes (like the ones in the lab) but it's not really noticeable.

Yes! But you will need to add light at the top of the specimen that you want to view. I use the AMScope LED Spotlight.

The one we have has a pretty short focal length if you want it to get higher magnification. However, if can focus farther but with much less magnification. If you are doing PC boards you may be better off with something else like a stand magnification lamp.

Compare the life expectancy, lumens, and the color temperature. Not all LED lamps are equal. My suggestion is to buy one of each and compare. LED lamps are all slightly different. Even Sylvania has different models that have similar housings, but different lamps and internal electronics.

this desktop one has 420pcs led lamps in total. Usually handheld one has much less lamps.Also, its enery would be stronger and results is better.

LED light is much better light rendition. Also...get this...you NEVER have to change the light bulbs because you dont have little hands nor a sterile laboratory to make new drivers . The old incandescent bulb cost $8.00 each....so by the time you buy all the bulbs you may as well just spent the extra $30.00 to buy the LEd.Because they never get hot enough to burn out...or the fillament will be thrashed from side to side just ripping it apart rendering loss of light output. As far as brightness goes....Yes 100% brighter with tighter figures being projected everywhere. And it actually moves to the music because the heat doesn't affect the driver.

not sure but I remember noticing this lamp in either HS, or another similar mag. And I remember their's was a bit more expensive - as you'd expect. Been using this lamp for almost 2 years and love it. It's high quality, or at least matches it's price. Throws a strong beam of light and is adjustable both in scope and the bendable neck. Great lamp for reading or hobbyists.
