Jason microscopes were widely sold in North America during the mid-20th century as affordable educational instruments for schools and home laboratories. Companion slide viewers such as the Popular 505-S allowed prepared microscope slides to be viewed by groups without each person using the microscope individually, making them popular classroom teaching aids during the 1960s and 1970s.
