How to buy the
Right Microscope

Homeschool Microscopes

It might interest you to know that GreatScopes was started by homeschoolers.   We homeschooled our children for 23 years, four are now college graduates, and three pursuing advanced degrees.

Many instruments commonly marketed to Homeschoolers are light weight hobbyist microscopes.  They save you a few dollars, but may not hold up under the years of use that most homeschoolers will put them through.

Our 3088 Premium compound microscope exceeds the requirements of every homeschool  science curriculum we know, including A Beka, Apologia (we have their slide set HERE), Bob Jones, and others. With Greatscopes, you can get a school-quality microscope with superior components, built to last a lifetime, at a price that can't be beat.  While the 3088 is our frequent recommendation, we have a number of other fine microscopes available as well.

GreatScopes' microscopes are always discounted from retail, and schools and other institutions receive further discounts because they buy in quantity.

We hope you'll join the thousands of homeschoolers using our microscopes worldwide.

Remember, our 3088 Premium microscopes meet and exceed the requirements of every homeschool science curriculum we have ever seen. These very microscopes are used in schools, public and private, all across the country, and can be yours for less than you might imagine.

Thank you.  We look forward to serving you.
