🔬 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: Binocular Microscope for students


$4,000 – Two Leica DM500 Microscopes

Give Anatomy and Physiology students the modern tools they deserve by replacing 40+ year old microscopes. These new microscopes will provide reliable, high-resolution imaging and ensure every HCC student has access to the same high-quality viewing experience.


The Leica DM500 microscope with “plug and play” capability will make teaching entry-level college and university Life Science courses easy and fun for the instructor and the student.

Your gift helps provide students:

  • TWO Leica DM500 microscopes
  • Equipment needed to excel in their coursework and obtain their dream degree
  • Getting lab-level industry experience / Get experience with equipment found in labs

“Students benefit from working with lab equipment outside of normal class time. Unfortunately, the microscopes available to them during these times are old and malfunctioning. It would mean so much to the students to have a functional microscope that matches the quality of the scopes in our labs.”
- Greg Toulson (Biology Faculty and Course Coordinator or A&P)


The Impact:

In a world that never stops with new information your gift supports students in the sciences and allows them to become the future of society.
