Your Ultimate Guide to Microscopes: Types, Prices, and Why Almicro Leads the Market
Walk into any science lab—school, hospital, or industrial facility—and there’s one instrument you’re almost certain to spot: the microscope. It might look small, but what it reveals is anything but. At Almicro, we’ve been working behind the scenes to help people zoom into unseen worlds, one lens at a time.
As an ISO-certified company, Almicro isn't just a manufacturer—we're innovators, suppliers, and storytellers in glass. We’re proud to be a leading microscope manufacturer, supplying equipment across the globe to researchers, teachers, students, and industries that rely on precision.
? What Is a Microscope?
Microscopes are often thought of as magnifying very small things, but think about it for a minute; they are really the first door to the creation of entire hidden universes from the very small things they show you. A drop of pond water, a slice of onion skin, and a single grain of pollen can now appear to be large, busy cities. A microscope has changed our understanding and appreciation of both our biological world and for medicine, materials, etc.
? Parts of a Microscope—More Than Just Lenses
To the untrained eye, a microscope may seem simple. But it’s made of many working parts:
-
Eyepiece (Ocular lens): The lens you look through, usually with 10x magnification.
-
Objective lenses: Often multiple, with magnifications like 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x.
-
Stage: Where the sample rests.
-
Coarse and fine focus knobs: To bring the image into sharp detail.
-
Illuminator or mirror: Provides the light that makes viewing possible.
-
Base & arm: The skeleton holding everything in place.
Each component plays a unique role. Without the light source, there’s no visibility. Without fine focusing, you can’t get that sharp detail. That’s why, when buying a microscope, knowing the parts of microscope really matters.
? Types of Microscopes: Which One’s Right for You?
Not all microscopes are created equal. At Almicro, we manufacture a variety designed for different uses. Let’s break a few down:
1. Light Microscope
This is the most common one you see in classrooms. It uses visible light to magnify specimens. Easy to use, affordable, and perfect for students or basic biology work.
2. Compound Microscope
A type of light microscope, but more advanced. It has two sets of lenses—eyepiece and objective—which multiply the magnification. You can observe cells, bacteria, and even chromosomes. Ideal for labs and researchers.
3. Simple Microscope
This one uses just a single lens. Think of it like a magnifying glass on steroids. It’s limited in power, but still useful in certain fields like watchmaking or small-scale biological inspection.
4. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
Now we’re talking power! SEMs use electrons instead of light. They produce highly detailed 3D images of specimen surfaces. If you're in nanotech, metallurgy, or material sciences—this is your dream tool. Almicro also supports clients in setting up these advanced setups.
5. Electron Microscope (General)
This includes both SEM and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). With magnifications up to 2 million times, these are serious research instruments. We partner with labs needing high-end configurations.
? A Truly Global Supplier
From India to Indonesia, Kenya to Canada—we’ve shipped microscopes to over 30 countries. How? Because we focus on three things:
-
Quality that speaks for itself

-
Support that doesn’t stop after delivery
Whether you’re a college in Delhi or a biotech firm in Germany, Almicro ensures timely delivery, certified quality, and support with every unit.
? Understanding Microscope Price
One of the most common questions we hear is: “What’s the microscope price?”
Well, it depends. A school-grade light microscope might cost as little as ?4,000–?8,000. A compound microscope for advanced lab work may range between ?12,000–?30,000.
High-end devices like a scanning electron microscope? You’re looking at several lakhs, even crores.
But here’s the best part: At Almicro, we don’t just slap on a price tag. We talk to you, understand your need, and recommend a setup that gives you the best value—no unnecessary costs, no hidden fees.
