Used Microscopes
Buying a used microscope is one way to benefit from the exploratory power of a microscope at a price that doesn’t break the bank. The nature of microscope use dictates that they are kept in clean and safe environments, and don’t suffer very much wear and tear. Furthermore, technology for home microscopes doesn’t change very much. Sure, Harvard might be working with a brand new electron scope that can see individual atoms, but most of us can’t afford one of those or fit it in our house. The 40-120 power microscope you buy at the store operates on the same basic principles and technology that the original light microscope did. So there really is no difference in getting a microscope from the 1960s versus a more current one, except different haircuts and colours in the instruction manual.

The Blister Microscope is a product that typifies both the durability of microscopes and the salience of light microscope technology. Blister Microscope is constructed of all stainless steel parts, so even the most careless little scientist peering at rocks, onion cells and pond water won’t be able to destroy her scope with a spilled juice box. And despite the fact that Blister Microscope is over thirty? years old, the company still sells the same exact product, a testament to the lasting value of low power microscope technology. Your Blister Microscope won’t be outdated by a new model next year, or probably not even in the next decade.

If you buy a used Blister Microscope, you can be assured that the scope is likely in good condition and that the technology is certainly not outdated. Likewise, the same qualities that make a used scope a safe buy make a new one an equally good investment. If for whatever reason you don’t need a microscope five or ten years down the road (or you are upgrading to an electron microscope) you can sell it to someone who can make better use of it at a fair price.
