Amazing for the price!! So happy with my super affordable, beautiful self-gift :D
Like others have said: I, too, was surprised with the quality of this microscope! I am a total amateur, so - I am having problems focusing on anything using the 100x objective or higher - but that is my own fault: still learning.
The other objectives 10x 40x - is crystal clear! Even without any staining process. (I suggest buying staining kit - that is next on my list!) and some cover slips - so that you don't get your objective lenses populated with unwanted guests!
Overall, it is a gorgeous equipment! Thank you for the super affordable for the quality! It comes with a power cord; so - no need for batteries at all. The mechanical stage is just awesome and smooth. The dimer and condenser together worked wonders. I love that you can adjust pretty much everything in this microscope. Light intensity, stop screw for the fine adjustment (so that it does not go down too much and damage anything.) Make sure to download AND read the manual. To download the manual is super easy: Look at the RECEIPT that comes with your microscope. On the left side upper corner, you will see a PASSWORD. Go to Amscope website and enter that password. Voilà! You can save the manual now. Great tips there.
Again: Thank you for the super protection packaging too! It came in a styrofoam, super thick case that was inside another thick triple carton box. Delivery was super fast: It arrived a day earlier.
Continue doing a great job Precision*World and fulfilling dreams. This has been a dream of mine for over 20 years: to own a binocular powerful microscope - I could never had been able to afford it at regular prices of $400 and up. Happy Holidays! ♥Read full review

Better than expected.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the clarity of the images even at higher magnifications (Note: A 3D object won't be in focus throughout, but on a 2D plane, such as a calibration slide, the image is quite sharp). I usually use the 25X eyepiece, so I can see up to 1000X, without using oil, when I switch to the 40X objective (25 X 40 = 1000). Of course, you get much better resolution (clarity) when you use the oil objective (use the 100X objective only with oil), but for what I am doing it is seldom needed. Just make sure you always start with the 4X objective; focus with the coarse adjustment, then switch to the higher objectives, using ONLY the fine focus knob. That way you don't dirty up your objectives.
Everything works well. It is sturdy and seems well made. It would have been nice if Amscope provided an eyepiece reticle, and a calibration slide, but then I guess they are trying to provide you with a good microscope for the lowest possible cost...And they did!Read full review

Not a Nikon but pretty close
We have had an Olympus and Nikon microscope at our practice but this time we decided to spend less. We held our breath while awaiting the AmScope microscope since the price was low enough it could have been a plastic nightmare. Instead it is a good quality scope with good optical components -- not quite as good as our Nikon, but definitely acceptable. This would be a good second microscope for any practice trying to avoid using their histopathology microscope for general work.Read full review

OK and cheap microscope
The microscope is useful for taking picture to present in a general sesion (I'm a pathology resident). Easy to take photos with your cell phone. It´s kind of blurry around the edges of the eyepiece. The position of the condensator must be adjusted with allen keys, that's a down side. But overall, it's good for what it's meant for.Read full review

Came damaged
Upon arrival stage and other parts were covered with some kind of glue. Stage itself was loose because of poor assembly. Slide holder was set too high from the stage and didn't properly hold a slide. Chinese adapter for european wall socket doesn't go all the way inside so be prepared to buy a normal one from your hardware store. At least image quality is pretty good for such price...Read full review

GREAT MICROSCOPE--NEEDS CASE
The focus is great on this. it could use a stage stop, but I'm pretty careful. Also, it really needs to come with a case. This sort of instrument is too fragile to be left out. I had to spend $100 for a case not even made for this product.Read full review

Nice Microscope
Was disappointed to see that it was made in China, but then, what else "isn't"? Until we have better trade deals, guess we will have to be happy they are making better quality merchandise these days.

Amazing stuff
This is a quality product at a fantastic price. I first bought a microscope here in Swede in roughly the same price range. I returned that one the next day and went for this one instead and I'm very pleased with that decision! Every bit of it has a feel of quality and precision to it. I could play with this for hours on end and I'm not even that in to biology (bought it for my so), its just that good!Read full review
