Description

The AmScope B120C compound binocular microscope has pairs of 10x widefield and 25x widefield eyepieces, a forward-facing nosepiece with four DIN achromatic objectives, Brightfield (BF) LED illumination, a 1.25 NA Abbe condenser, and a double-layer mechanical stage.The Siedentopf binocular head has interchangeable pairs of 10x widefield and 25x widefield eyepieces with 53 to 77mm Siedentopf inter-pupillary adjustment, a fixed 30-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and a 360-degree rotation capability to provide a more comprehensive view and enable sharing. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The forward- facing nosepiece has 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring), and 100xS (spring, oil) DIN achromatic objectives that combine with the eyepieces to provide color correction of magnified images at five magnifications. The 40xS objective is spring loaded to prevent slide damage when focusing. The 100xS spring-loaded oil objective provides increased resolution over a standard objective. A compound microscope is used for inspection and dissection of specimens when two-dimensional images are desired.The microscope has lower (diascopic) Brightfield illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF) illumination allows the specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light background. LED illumination provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens. The 1.25 NA Abbe condenser can be adjusted to control the distance of the light from the stage and has an iris diaphragm to optimize the amount of light illuminating the specimen. The double-layer mechanical stage, with 1mm stage divisions, locks the slide into place and provides precise slide manipulation along the X- and Y-axis to allow coordinates to be recorded, enabling the viewer to return to a specific location on the slide. Separate coarse and fine focus knobs speed focusing. The enamel-coated cast-steel body is durable and resistant to stains and corrosion.

Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope.

Style: A) Microscope
I bought this for my daughter to encourage her love of science. As a quick background, I have an extensive background in optics including years of amateur astronomy and photography. As a result, I know good glass, and I detest cheap optics. To say that I am impressed with this microscope would do a disservice to the word, "impressed". It is very solid, the optics are clear and bright, and it worked 100% out of the box. It's better than the microscopes they have at the local high school, and most importantly, she loves using it so much that we've found her getting up early to use it before school, and this is a kid that doesn't get up early for ANYTHING! I will say that for our uses, the 100x objective was of little use (at least not for now), so I bought an additional 2x objective which lets her use the scope for looking at coins, bills, and other larger objects. You'll need an external light source for this, but that's easily obtained. We'll graduate to the 100x objective eventually, but for now, we're thrilled with the new setup, and you know what? The fact that we could swap objectives is a HUGE benefit that we wouldn't get with a cheaper microscope. If I have anything negative to say, it would be that the box contained no manual. Figuring I could just download it, I went to the website where it told me to find the Customer Information Sheet, which I did. It told me to enter the code, and if there wasn't a code, I probably bought it from Amazon (which I did), and that there would be a code on the box. I entered every damn code I could find and none of them worked. Finally, in a fit of frustration, I entered the model number, and the manual popped right up. Why I have to enter a code to get a manual is beyond me, but hopefully that will help someone else. Honestly, we didn't really need the manual, but it's always nice to have. The light is very bright and can be dimmed with the dial on the side. The controls are very precise and work great. I wish they were metal instead of plastic, but if plastic knobs gets me optics like this for the price I paid, well then plastic knobs it is! Yes, I could have bought this for less elsewhere, but I went through Amazon because if there was a problem, I knew that Amazon would have just swapped it or let me return it with ease. My daughter and I have spent hours together looking at everything we could think of through her microscope. She's excited about science, is thrilled to have a real instrument, and can't wait to use it every day. Who knows? Maybe this will help mold her into a world-renound microbiologist or forensic scientist. As far as I'm concerned, it was money well spent. ... show more

    • Wonderful Inexpensive Microscope
Style: A) Microscope

I originally bought the microscope and 1.3 mp digital camera and was so disappointed with the camera that I returned it. However, I was impressed with the microscope itself so bought it on it's own. As a Molecular, Cell & Developmental Biology major I have spent many hours using a light microscope in the labs at school and wanted one that was comparable but without the price tag. This definitely met my expectations. The first microscope I purchased had obviously been bought and returned before. It did not impact performance, just something I noticed due to the way the second microscope I bought was packaged. I had to attach the lenses as they were not already attached, and had to clean some lubricant off some non-moving parts, but it was totally worth it. The optics work marvelously and all parts move smoothly. Though the pictures provide do not do the microscope justice, all images through the eyepiece are crisp and clear. I even added a tick leg using the 40x objective lens, though I would not advise using it like a stereo microscope, you CAN make out some detailed anatomy if using the camera and highest light setting. UPDATE 9/25/18 I recently had to order an objective lense (40x) and found that a replacement was only $20 from AmScope. While it's taking a while to get to me, I did get an email regarding the delay and was asked if I wanted to cancel my order or just wait for the part. I opted to wait and it should be arriving soon. I also prefer my microscope to the ones at school and use it for projects as it's not abused and I can clearly see my samples. I can definitely say that I will be buying AmScope products again. ... show more

    • Excellent features and optics for the Money
Style: A) Microscope
I don’t know why I waited so long to upgrade microscopes. I was in my early teens when I got my first microscope in a science kit my Dad gave me for Christmas and now, fifty years later, I finally got something that is truly useful. This Amscope B120-c scope is amazing for all the features a pro type scopes provides yet it is so affordable on Amazon. Since I’m retired, I thought I would enjoy the really “small” things in life, literally. All I can say is if you like microscopes or considering one, this is the one for you. I haven’t tried the 100x oil lens yet and probably will purchase the 60x plano later on but everything has exceeded my expectations for quality and clarity of the optics. The Mechanical stage works very smooth and I like the LED light far better than tungsten or halogen. I read all the reviews before purchasing and concluded that the reviewers that have a hard time seeing anything should start by sliding the condenser lens to minimum and adjust the brightness accordingly. As you increase magnification readjust brightness first then the condenser to your liking. I’m a photographer and I prefer higher contrast images and that is what the condenser is for to increase contrast. In my opinion this scope deserves 6-stars. ... show more

    • Great product for the money.
Style: A) Microscope
This was a birthday gift for my 13 yr old middle schooler son. He is just fascinated with looking though it at prepared slides, pond water, insects, etc. It is of very good quality. For a beginners though, such as my son and myself, I would’ve loved this product to have had a more detailed guide for its use and its features rather than just a single fold out page of minimal information. Though this did prompt me to aquire a very nice paperback guide book “The World of The Microscope” to give us more insight on microscopes, accessories, and how to’s. This scope is a well built model, and it should last my son through Highschool and beyond. I do recommend it for middle schoolers and up. ... show more

    • Full Featured Microscope at a Very Reasonable Price
Style: A) Microscope
We especially liked the ease of setting up this microscope. It is very well designed, with excellent illumination control. An ideal size and weight, especially if you are purchasing for the student. The binocular head has a very wide range of adjustment. The LED lamp gives off a very effective neutral white illumination. Image quality is sharp and contrasty using the 4X and 10X objectives. If you want higher magnification it is probably best to purchase the 40X Plan objective. We did so, and this made 400X totally effective. Includes a nice dust cover and a spare fuse. The manual is excellent, but must be downloaded as a PDF file on the Amscope website. All in all, a very well designed microscope, with a wide range of features, for a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Does what its meant to do
Style: A) Microscope
I bought this to do fecal exams at home for my goats and well it does the job perfectly. It feels like a very good quality microscope. I was scared it could get easily damaged but it was also packaged really well so that did not become an issue. It also comes with a plastic cover to store it. The light is adjustable, like most microscopes, but the light is so bright I actually had to keep it fairly dim because it would hurt my eyes. The image quality is great however and it brings two pairs of eye pieces and it even brought a small bottle of immersion oil i case you need it. Overall a great purchase and not that expensive compared to other microscopes. ... show more

    • Exceeded Expectations! Until...
Style: A) Microscope
I bought this microscope and it has exceeded expectations! Image quality is extremely bright and crisp. I spent hours looking through pond samples, etc. on my first day. New hobby! Hopefully this brings the average up to 4.5, and everyone starts buying this sleeker microscope instead of OMAX. One of my plastic knobs has a tiny little plastic hanging chad, probably from where they injected the plastic at the factory, but I could probably file it off. Also, tiny scratch on the handle. Not enough to subtract from its 5 star rating. Edit: Buy it on eBay from AmScope instead for $154.99! I spoke with two managers at the customer service department, and they were unable to price match or give me a credit on my Amazon account. They told me to return it for a full refund, and so I did. eBay package showed up in about three days too. 6/16/19 Update: [Writing to AmScope on eBay] Hello, I have two issues with my microscope: The condenser knob is loose, and it will slowly fall. This is an extreme bother when trying to use in dark-field. This needs to be tightened. I've been "propping" it up by wedging some support paper underneath it. A more complicated issue--and this is more of a design flaw than a defect--is that the gear bar under the mechanical stage that helps turn the x axis bumps into the condenser lens, even meshing with the grip on the lens cover to unscrew it slowly. This happens when the condenser is all the way up (minus a millimeter or so) for dark-field, and you are looking at the bottom left of the glass slide. Glass slide cover being dead center, when looking at the bottom of the slide and slowly moving to the left, the gear bar will hit the condenser, and you won't be able to move the stage any further right. If you do, the y axis will all of the sudden go forward because the stage is rubbing the condenser, and the stage has nowhere to go. You will be viewing your sample, and as you scroll to the left corner of the slide cover, it will force you up and to the left, making the actual corner impossible to view. ... show more

    • Outstanding Microscope!
Style: A) Microscope
I don't know why amazon (Amscope?) won't ship this item to a freight forwarder but anyway I ordered from King's Bargains. The item arrived on time and in perfect condition, 5 stars for the seller! As for the microscope itself, Wow!, whay a nice piece of equipment. After I ordered i felt a little discouraged when reading many "experts" opinions telling everyone that you should Only buy microscopes from the "Big Four" (that's Nikon, Olympus, Leica, Zeiss I guess), to stay away from chinese budget microscopes and that you better go and buy a used (and more expensive) microscope from those brands. Well, I couldn't disagree more, this microscope is outstanding, from optics to mechanics, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I've been a photographer for all my life and have been used very high quality glass, also as a lifetime amateur astronomer who have owned dozens of telescopes I can recognize good optics, and Amscope Delivers! Period! It's very easy to make a darkfield adapter to be paced in the filter holder under the iris/condenser and that alone is just another whole experience, keep in mind that it's not easy at all to change the condenser so I don't plan on getting a true darkfield condenser soon. I expect to get the 20X and 60X Plan very soon and I don't see much use for the 100X oil immersion objective, too much hassle to use and too much magnification, I don really need it. ... show more
