## Description

Eight Widefield Magnification Settings 40X-2000X Abbe Condenser with Iris Diaphragm 3D Double Layer Mechanical Stage Heavy -Duty Sturdy Metal Framework Tension Adjustable Coarse & Fine Focus

Review: Amazing quality for the price - I'm in a medical lab tech program and routinely work with $2000+ microscopes - this unit performs comparably well for a tenth of the price. As the top review notes, the field of view is a bit smaller than what you'd get with a clinical grade scope, but the resolution within the field of view is impressive. A few reviewers have said that the focus knobs are loose/imprecise but I've had no issues with them. The microscope seems very sturdy and well built. A few minor annoyances: there are no assembly instructions (although it's easy to put together) and it makes a buzzing noise when it's on. It comes with immersion oil, but no lens paper or cleaner for some reason. I've attached a photo of cheek cells and bacteria at 1000x, but it doesn't really do the scope justice because it was taken by holding my crappy phone camera up to the eyepieces. The image is much sharper in in real life. Overall an amazing microscope for the price.
Review: Great Microscope for the price... - I had bought my 6 year old daughter a toy microscope last Christmas. It was difficult to work with and not very satisfying. But, it did spark my daughter's interest. So, I determined that I would get her a "real" microscope for her 7th birthday. I looked around on desertcart.com until I found this one. The other reviews indicated that not only was it a good product, but a good product for a child (some of the reviewers were home schoolers). We set it up on my daughter's birthday, and it was clear as we unboxed it that this was a solid, quality, professional microscope. I had also bought a box of 100 prepared slides from desertcart so that there would be something to look at after we got the microscope set up. It really is a good microscope and I'm sure that it will follow my daughter through life as she grows up. Since then, I have also bought a slide making kit from desertcart so that my daughter can prepare her own slides. A side benefit is that my daughter's uncle is a scientist, so he can show her the joys of microscopy even more than I can! I was also going to get a stereo microscope to serve as a bridge between the "real" world and the microscopic one, but my brother beat me to it!. I don't have much experience with microscopes, but I did know as I was putting the microscope together out of the box that this was a solid, quality instrument.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Scope - Heavy Duty - Quality construction
*by S***A on November 20, 2014*

Received this earlier today and have been playing with it now for about 7 hours. I would note to others that there are several models of this particular scope on amazon that differ mainly in the accessories that come with them. As a side now, while not listed for this scope, it came with WF16x eyepieces as well as the 10x & 20x listed which was a nice bonus. All in all I am very happy with this purchase. The scope is heavy duty, and in watching youtube video's from colleges to brush up on my scope skills, this scope functions the same as the olympus and other scopes they professors were using. Pros: *Mechanical stage is very solid and it's easy to get around the slide and note locations with graduations. Single axis/dual knob control makes slide navigation and focusing at the same time easy. *3 eyepieces included giving additional 64/160/640 and 1600 magnifications. *Heavy construction *Halogen Illumination (I was told by several doctorate level researchers to avoid LED at all costs *Swiveling eyepieces *Includes small amount of immersion oil, extra bulb and extra fuse standard along with storage bottles for objectives. Cons: *While expected at this price range, there are some spots visible at high magnification in a couple of the eyepieces, but they in no way detract from viewing. Not a con, but I kinda wish I'd spent the extra bucks on a trinocular for camera/real time/tri person viewing etc. While you can get the adapter to attach a camera to the binoc version, if I was to repeat I'd go ahead and get the trinoc version.
