Return To Microscope FAQ Archive   Search the Archives What kind of microscope should I use for home school? Answered By Evan Mattensen, Editor The microscope found in classrooms across the world is the compound microscope.

The specimen is mounted between two glass slides and clipped beneath the main lens.This is the most common microscope and would be best for home school as well. --- permission must be obtained from editor Evan Mattensen to re-publish --- Compound Microscope Parts
