  • Great Value Buy You will be very pleased after buying ...
Style: M150C
Great Value Buy You will be very pleased after buying this microscope, as it is an extremely good option, especially for the price. The ideal user would be an infrequent user that doesn't not require an extremely high quality internal look inside cells. I personally use this microscope for analyzing semen samples collected from swine. I am fully able to accurately assess motility and morphology of the cells. How It Can Help You This microscope will allow you to accurately view cells on a molecular level. If you are looking for a basic entry level microscope I am quite certain that this device will more than exceed your level of expectations. The criteria I used to evaluate this product are pretty basic; ease of use, quality of focus, and light permeability. You will find that this product is extremely to use. The basic setup of the focus knobs are easy to distinguish between the corse adjustment, larger knob, and fine adjustment, small knob, easily allowing you to finely adjust your viewpoint on your desired specimen. I also appreciate the quality of focus this device can provide its users, which after purchase I'm sure you will too. Lastly the adjustable bulb shade allows you to effectively shade the amount of light that penetrates the slide. This will allow you to easily push light through darker specimens or lower for clear cells. Closing The Deal Overall, I would highly recommend this product to nearly any entry level user it can come with a few draw backs for a more advanced user such as, inability to see inside cells clearly and lack of a binocular objective, which could be expected as it is clearly marketed as a monocular objective however I do think it could improve the ease and clarity of use. However, this scope has fully met and exceeded all of my expectations for this device and I am extremely happy with this product and would buy it again. ... show more

  • Great Microscope for Middle School or beginner scientist.
Style: w/ 5MP Eyepiece Camera
I ordered 17 of these microscopes for my 8th grade science class. The overall build is solid and comparable to most scopes I have had students use in the past. I really like the LED light and the ability to adjust the LED as well as the diaphragm. This gives you two options for adjusting the light. The objectives seem to be of good quality and the stage has a nice distinct end stop that makes it clear when you are at the end (no soft feeling). For the price the 5 MP camera is fantastic and takes great pictures. I agree with another reviewer that when in live mode at the 5 MP the view is a bit choppy so moving specimens under the best resolution doesn't work well but It far exceeds the quality of any microscope that I used in this price range! I like the battery mode that makes them mobile but you need an allen key to open the battery case. The only two small draw backs are the cord and the eyepiece. The cords are very thin and I worry about them long term being able to hold up to the wear and tear of 8th graders. The eyepiece is removable which is great but it would be nice to have a locking screw to hold it or the camera in place (kids like to play and touch everything). Never the less they are great beginner microscopes so you can't compare them to a microscope that is 4-5 times the cost and and the price is about 1/2 of what they were a few years ago! ... show more

  • Good, with limitations
Style: w/ 5MP Eyepiece Camera
Build quality is good for the price. Optics are good, at least for the two lower-power lenses (didn't try the other). However, my specimens are mounted in diamond-polished epoxy mounts about 1/2 inch thick. Because the stage (surface that holds the slide in most usages) cannot be moved (it is fixed to the microscope body and base) I am unable to move the lens far enough from the specimen to focus. ... show more

  • ABSOLUTE 5 out of 5!!
Style: M150C
Straight out the box you get a good quality microscope. Everything is packaged well! The microscope has a good weight to it!! It doesn't feel like a toy. It comes with everything as stated. I like the fact that this uses both battery and adapter for the light source which includes a knob for brightening/dimming. While observing specimen, the lens clarity is amaizing!! Everything works how it supposed to. My only complaint is not having a knob to tune the stage left and right. I would've also liked if we were able to use that type C input with a cable for imaging but that's just a power adapter input. Overall I still give this product 5 stars! Definately a good buy! Good value for the price! ... show more

  • Great Microscope for 10th grade biology.
Style: M150C
After reading some of the reviews, I was leery of buying this microscope. However, after receiving it I'm glad I did... The box was in good shape. The contents were sealed in plastic and styrofoam. Batteries were sealed, not used. Everything was new, not reshipped. The scope has three objective lenses; red for low power, yellow for medium power, and blue for high power. The scope comes with two eyepieces: one WF 10X and one WF 25X (both widefield). That is what the WF stands for. The scope also comes with a power adapter, just in case you don't want to use batteries. And, it comes with a plastic dust cover. Someone complained about the scope not having an upper light. I used a small LED flashlight with good success. As someone pointed out. one picture shows the scope hooked to a computer. This is very misleading, but for the price, it can be overlooked. I happen to have a Celestron 93709 NexImage Solar System Imager, which I bought to use with my 10-inch telescope. It isn't much use unless you have a scope that tracks. My scope is manual. However, I found the imager of great use with a microscope. I have another MF10X eyepiece form a less expensive microscope, and it snuggly fits the imager. I am able to take pictures with my computer using the imager and scope. I bought the microscope for my grandson. It will be of great use in his Biology Class. One more thing: for those complaining about the scope not coming with slides and extras; the price will not allow it. You get those things with cheaper scopes. This is a great scope for the price as is. ... show more
