Great Microscope at a Great Price.
This is the perfect microscope for upper high school, college, graduate school, and research. This microscope has 4 objective lenses and an extra set of ocular lenses. It also includes a mechanical stage clip holder with a mechanical stage. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars when this tool will be more than enough for your studies. I purchased mine for continuing my research at home. I've been using microscopes for over 50 years and feel I'm a pretty good judge at selecting a great microscope. This is truly a great scope at a great price. Read full review

cheap plastic construction
Microscope arrived with its plastic fuse holder broken off from its plastic base board. A very bad smelling oily compound was applied over the stage surface and moving parts, dont know if its safe to inhale, perhaps not. Had to air the microscope outside overnight and then I wiped the surfaces as much as I could with a cleaner solution. Immediately contacted the seller with the pictures of the broken fuse holder. They decided to send me a base instead of the whole microscope, I was asked to change the base and send the defected base back. It was an easy change out, but may not be for everyone. The microscope is ok for the price, the stage translation works fine, and so as the light source. The lenses at higher magnification are rather useless since their depth of field is almost zero, kind of expected from cheap lenses. Dont be fool by 1000X, 2500X magnifications, image quality is at the best sub par. Read full review

The single best thing I have ever purchased
No joke this is probably the single greatest value for money item I have ever purchased. For a modest price you get a portal to see an endless number of bizarre and sublime alien worlds.
Nothing to complain about the scope. it is pretty bulky but in a way that makes it feel stable and strong. The controls are easy to use.
It feels and looks like a professional microscope you would find in a lab, and the quality of images doesn't fall short. The high magnification lenses will reveal the smallest details it is even possible to see with visible light.
The camera is garbage, I only used it once and gave up. You should buy the one that comes with no camera. But I bought this one. The trick is to find a way to mount your smartphone camera in front of the eyepiece. Then your journey really takes off.
I use it all the time and it still brings me great enjoyment. I recommend it to anyone who asks about microscopes.Read full review

Amazing Piece
This is a marvelous microscope. It has maximum standard flexibility regarding the number of objectives, oculars & lighting adjustments. It has a large bright field of vision. Its resolution is very good, considering the affordable price. It's made in China with excellent material that should last a lifetime. It's not heavy at all. There are extra features, presumably for further attachments. If you fancy a Zeiss or a Leitz microscope you should be prepared to pay multiple times over.Read full review

great Microscope but...
I gave it 4 stars only because the plastic, its a little bit cheap, you can see that its from China, and because you can change the focus only in the left eyepiece but its a great product, very professional, high quality eyepieces, not for kids, the stage came covered with a sticky material so the whole bottom area is sticky from some reason, need to clean it somehow.
otherwise all good!Read full review

Overall satisfied
I am still learning about my new microscope 🔬 but it is a very neat tool, to use to learn about science and how things were created for a purpose. The scope is very good quality and easy to operate. It is worth looking into buying one if you are into that sort of thing or for a school project. You won't be disappointed. The lens are easy to turn and eye piece lens are simple to insert. It's turn out to be a calming hobby for myself!👍🏼Read full review

Great Microscope
This microscope is solidly built and has very good optics. Smooth operation and dark field conversion is very effective. Oil immersion at 2000x is very effective.

Great quality and heavy duty construction
This microscope has an amazing sharp image in addition to a strong adjustable cool LED light source. It will not desiccate the specimen.. The dimmer, iris and height adjustments make it easy to achieve the best contrast and the mechanical stage has well placed controls and allows smooth wide range movement at higher or lower magnification. The 360 degree turret allows two or more students to alternate viewing the image without the need to move if they are sitting opposite to each other across a 24" bench. The image circle is beach ball sized - no kidding here - It covers a wide field at high magnification. It compares favorably with other equipment one order of magnitude (10x) more expensive.Read full review

These are the first impressions of this microscope
Microscope quality is quite low. The ocular base, which can be rotated 380 degrees, also shaking vertically and horizontally. The resolution for large magnifications is low. Also, at large magnifications, you can see the tiny dust that gets on the optic path between the eyepiece and the achromatic goals of a microscope. Of course, it's hard to find better in this price range.Read full review

A real bargain.
This is a very good and easy to use microscope for the price. The instrument is very solid in construction. It comes with both 10X &25X eyepiece sets. The internal LED illumination is very easy on the eyes along with the binocular arrangement.Read full review
