History of the Student Microscope

Despite the fact that a student microscope is the least of all the microscopes, it still important to learn that this kind of microscope is the most popular among students and non-scientists since student microscopes for sale are cheaper and more practical than other kind of microscope.

Despite the fact that student microscopes are poorer in quality compared to other high-powered microscopes, Herbert J. Mossien, marketing manager of Bausch & Lomb recognized the importance and commercial potential of mass-produced affordable microscopes, especially if it will be sold in schools for students’ use.

Since at those times, microscopes are very expensive, the introduction of the mass-produced, affordable microscopes in schools and in microscope stores became a hit, especially to Bausch & Lomb, since high schools bought huge numbers of those, ultimately renewing the importance of science to younger students. Presently, student microscopes are available in websites, such as TrueVision Microscopes.
