  • Given it 5 stars (Provisionally) despite lack of documentation
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
I have yet to use this microscope but it appears to be a very solid built device. The reason for this review, even it I have not used the microscope, is to bring up the topic of documentation. There wasn't any. At least none for this unit. What I received was "Information & Instructions Model SME-F8BH Binocular Microscope" which is almost this unit but with the Chinese model number, almost. This appears to be for the 2000x model not the 2500x. Expecting the correct manual on the CD did not pan out either, it only contained the program and documentation for the computer connection. Going to the website AMSCOPE did not help either, because the Chinese model number did not prove valid and there was no actual model number on the unit! Eventually using a Google search, and I found others with the same problem, I eventually found out it is Model B120-E1 (its found labeled on the plain cardboard box but not mentioned in the invoice) and confirmed this was the actual US Model number. The website did not have a PDF for this model either. So why the 5 stars, with all of the effort required to just get documentation? When I called the company and talked to customer service they resolved all of my problem within 5 minutes (that is including the hold time!). The gentleman was extremely polite helpful and exact. He indicated that the manual for this unit was in the process of being written but he had a final draft that he would send me (which I received in less than a minute for model B120 series). He also told me that there is no fuse for the light, it is an LED, so ignore the one that came with unit. So assuming the optics are good I will leave it at 5 stars. But for anyone else having this documentation problem, I thought this would help. The manual was brief but covered the basics. 25 March 2014 Update So based on the documentation and use of the scope, I can now review this product . All mechanical aspects of the scope work smoothly and correctly. The light is sufficient for backlighting object or slices of object. The optics are clear and not blurred. Although I did have a little trouble with the 2500x configuration since it is an oil-immersion setup getting the focus correct. But with going back to the manual and a little internet help that issue was resolved. The computer interface has not been used very much and is a little cumbersome. I can see why a tri-optical arrangement would be very useful in a lab setting. less adjusting the focus when you switch from eyeball to computer. This is not a negative with regard to this unit as the intent was not to provide the tri feature, but the binocular. Never the less it is a nice touch to have it available for use. With the documentation and use of the scope my rating remains at 5 stars. ... show more

  • Great microscope, Great price and Greater customer service.
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
I purchased my AmScope B120C-E1 in 2013. I am very satisfied with this microscope. I originally purchased it for my daughter since she is working to become a physician. At the time I did not know that I too would be the one using it. I am working my way to be in the dental profession and at the time I am taking microbiology at my local college. Well, a week ago my light was out and I tested the components and the transformer went bad. I still have the 5 year warranty and I ended up contacting the company. I explained to them that I tested the equipment and I also send them my finding. Note: I am very familiar with electronics and I now how to test them. What I ended up sending them was a note with what was wrong and the tolerance. I asked them that if they could send me the parts and I can installed it myself and how much. There answer was $6 for the shipping because it was under warranty for 5 years; I received the parts withing 3 business days. They actually sent me and upgraded base with everything that I needed. The only thing that I did was: unscrew the 4 screws that hold the base together, removed the ground wire screw and the L.E.D connector. Put everything back together and done. It took me about 5 minutes tops. Tested it and it work like new. Thank you Aaron for the parts and great customer service. This is a good company with great customer service. I recommend them and their product. Note. I have read some reviews saying that the microscope is not good and that it doesn't come with instruction. There are plenty of videos online that can help you get there, and your incompetence should not be reflected on the product rating. The bottom line is.....this is a great product for the price... great for beginners and college students alike... have patience and have fun... it will be a rewarding experience. ... show more

  • An excellent student microscope! Great quality for the price.
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
I am amazed and delighted! Granted, I am not a professional, I bought this out of a memory of the fascination I had for the microscopes in high school. But I am very impressed with the quality of this microscope! It is substantial and heavy, with a rotating eyepiece turret with fully adjustable distance between the eyepieces, two sets of eyepieces, a very smoothly operating mechanical stage, smooth and precise dual-precision focusing, and an Abbe condenser with an optional blue lens that pivots out of the way. The LED light is on a dimmer, so you can control the brightness. I've having a ball culturing a hay infusion and seeing all the paramecia and other denizens of the unseen world. If I had to find a fault, it's that there isn't a case or holder for the eyepieces that are not in use, to keep them for getting dusty. The lenses are sharp, and good quality. The camera pickup is good, too, although the depth of field is limited (see the attached image). I'd have to say that this is an excellent student microscope. ... show more

  • Overall good for the price, camera is really disappointing
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
I didn’t try oil lens but with conventional ones maximum magnification when objects are sharp is 400x (40x objective + 10x eyepiece). When I try to use x1000 it often runs into “empty magnification” effect when picture is bigger but no extra details are added. Please check first image attached (both parts are bright). It’s a blood smear specimen, left part is x1000 (40-25) and right one is x400 (40-10). Both photos were taken using Samsung S9 phone. Images were zoomed digitally to be more or less equal in size. As you can see there is no big difference. However x1000 is still useful because one can see live bacteria at this magnification. Image won't be crispy but still bacteria (1-3 um) are visible. Camera has a rather poor quality, please check the second image (with dark part). Left part was taken by Samsung S9 at x1000 (40-25), the right one using AmScope camera using 40x objective. Images were zoomed digitally to be more or less equal in size. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Framework is really sturdy and mechanics is good. It’s really easy to position the specimen, nothing is shaking/bending. Software is also good. If it weren't for a weak camera, this would be a great tool. Microscope doesn’t come with calibration slide so it’ll be necessary to buy one if you would like to measure objects. Overall this microscope is good for beginners because it’s really easy in use and gives decent magnification. I wouldn’t recommend to buy cheaper models because they may have framework not sturdy enough and poor position mechanics what can easily discourage people who make their first steps in microscopy. ... show more

  • Perfect!
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
When I was growing up, and before my 10th birthday, my parents bought me a microscope. Nothing like this of course, and they probably got it from Montgomery Wards (no Wal-Mart back then). It was a pretty cheap microscope, but I loved it, and maybe it is one of the reasons I became so interested in science that I became an Engineer. Now that I'm all grown up (and almost 50) I wanted to rediscover my love for the micro, since my telescope purchase has helped me remember my love of the macro. Money isn't an option like it was for my parents, and I was quite surprised I could get so much microscope for relatively little. The scope is just about perfect for the amateur. The camera is just enough resolution to make you want to buy more, however, I was lucky as my telescope camera also fit this. At first I was put off by the 2500x resolution, since it seemed too much, but then I read how to use the immersion oil properly, and viola! 2500x was clear and amazing. Perhaps professionals need more, but this will sate me for years to come. It has already helped out our dog, as with it we were able to see a thriving yeast colony from a swab of his ears, and he's on medication now that seems to be helping. Kudos to AmScope for making a great product but with a cheap price. ... show more

  • Dreams come true.
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
I got this as a gift for my flat mate. She comes from one of the worst neighborhoods in NYC. The worst school district in all of New York. Somehow, this girl, over came growing up in poverty, in a place people are shooting at each other in the streets.... She finished high school, attended university..... And completed a grad degree in *1* year, because she couldn't afford to do a 2 year grad degree. One day, she came to me during that year and said, "I have to move, I can't afford to stay. I have to find something cheaper, my mum needs me to help with money to support my *5* siblings. I said, "You pay for your siblings, whatever you have left you give me for the rent. If nothing is left that is perfectly acceptable. You stay here, and you finish school." She did. And then she got a fabulous job at MIT. When she graduated from Grad school, and got her sweet new job, I got this for her. As she is absolutely amazing. She is an.... Apotheosis to other young people growing up in difficulty. So, to support her dream, I got this for her as a graduation gift. You should have seen her open it up and burst into tears she was so happy. She has had a dream of her own lab since she was very little but never believed it was possible. So, I got her this as her first piece of equiptment for her future lab. This is a wonderful product and I know nothing about these devices, but I know my future large animal vet flat mate was gaga over this. Which tells me, it is a pretty darn good product. So thank you so so so much for helping me to do what no one else in her life has ever done. She now sees her dream as possible. ... show more

  • Ok I will try to continue using it, might return.
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
Alright this product got some good images but adjusting the slide with the knobs is aweful. When you try to move it left and right it also moves up and down. Maybe cool for kids but it is not what I expected. The quality of the items in the box wer fantastic. Just a design flaw with the knobs that ruined the whole experience. You turn one and the other movs and the whole base of the thing moves when you touch a knob to move it. ... show more

  • Wonderful Microscope for the price.
Style: B) w/ 1.0 MP Camera
I didn't know what to expect from this purchase but have been more than pleased with the results. It has surpassed whatever wishes I could have had for the scope. I probably will never use the upper magnification limit of x2500. I mainly purchased to extend my hobby of wildflower Id. But for what I do use it for it has been great. It also has an included camera that I found to be a real plus as it allows you to put what you are viewing on screen and with my eyesight that is wonderful. I have been practicing with some ready made slides (not included with the microscope) from Amscope and the pictures, even at the 1.3 Megapixels, are great. The pictures below are of a Tilia Stem, from center to outer edge at x10. The camera software works great. The adjustments for the focus and for the stage work well. A little learning time is needed, but not really a large amount. Was able to get good results from the get-go. I actually bought this because of another review you will probably find here of an educator working in Africa. If it could survive that, I thought it might survive my rough usage. I don't think as far as I'm concerned there are any cons to this purchase for the price. My experience with microscopes are minimal, but what experiences I've had in the past aren't near as positive as this has been. There are no doubt better scopes out there, but for the price I'm very happy. ... show more
