Microscopy – A Captivating Hobby for All Ages and Interests

Lifelong learning with the microscope: Microscopy is more than just looking through an eyepiece—it opens new perspectives on the world. Even as a beginner or amateur, you can independently discover the fascinating details of microscopy. With numerous online resources, tutorial videos (e.g. on YouTube), you can quickly dive into this exciting field.

Discover fascinating objects anywhere

Whether in the garden, forest, or at home — there are hidden wonders under the microscope. Explore leaves, insects, fibers, minerals, fungi, pollen, or even bacteria—every sample is a small adventure.

Capture and share your findings

With a digital microscope camera or smartphone adapter, you can photograph or record your observations. Not only for later analysis, but also to share your discoveries with family, friends, or online communities. Specialized software helps you organize and evaluate your images.

Accessories for hobby microscopy

A good microscope needs the right tools. For optimal results, we recommend slides, cover slips, stains, tweezers, cleaning wipes, and more. This way you're well-equipped for applications from plant analysis to microcrystallography.

Types of microscopes

There are many microscopes suited to hobby and amateur use. Your choice depends on your needs, budget, and goals. Here are some recommended types:

Stereo microscopes
Provide a 3D view ideal for coins, fossils, insects, and larger objects. Compact models are great for children.

Compound/biological microscopes
For viewing small organisms—fungi, parasites, cells, tissues—with brightfield, darkfield, phase-contrast, or fluorescence options.

Handheld microscopes
Portable and often used in nature or fieldwork. Digital handheld models (USB microscopes) offer impressive capabilities.

Digital microscopes
Built-in camera, USB output or integrated display, ideal for documenting and sharing your observations. Available in stereo and compound styles.
