Overview
Not a high-power slide microscope, this is a compact inspection scope mounted on a long boom arm that swings out over big work. The head tilts at an angle, rotates on two axes and carries a flexible LED.
Choose it for the wide reach of the boom arm and cool LED light on temperature-sensitive specimens. The limit is the short magnification range and the box list, which names only the microscope.
Who it's for
Electronics repair and inspection of oversized parts are the strengths. Skip it for slides, for transmitted light, or for anyone who requires a pre-listed accessory set.
Pros and cons
- Long boom arm
- Cool LED lighting
- Head rotates on two axes
- Two eyepiece pairs
- Top lighting only
- Voltage entries conflict
- Box list names only the microscope
Performance notes
A single objective with two eyepiece pairs gives two powers, and the long arm swings the head across big work. A cool LED limits heat on sensitive specimens. Head rotation and the flexible light let you aim at awkward angles.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the AmScope SE400-Z box?
The listing only names the microscope. Two eyepiece pairs are described, but no other accessories are listed.
What voltage does it need?
The specs show 220 volts, while the description says 110V-120V, UL listed. Confirm before plugging in.
Is the SE400-Z good for slides?
No. It has upper reflected light only, so it suits opaque objects rather than slides.
