Not a professional microscope
Nice microscope, but it’s not one for serious users. I’m used to the old-school ones that weighed a ton and were pretty much made of cast iron or something similar. This one is much lighter, which might be a benefit for consumer use, but it definitely makes it feel cheap. I’m not sure it’s “professional laboratory grade” (which is what was in the description, so if it’s gone now, they at least took that feedback seriously). The body is metal, but all the eyepieces are plastic and featherlight.
In addition, some of the lenses have small flaws in them. Not enough to make it impossible to use them, but not great quality lenses.
The prepared slides are nice since it’s nice to have something to look at right out of the box, but they're not great quality either. Of course, if you want to prepare your own slides, don't forget to get some stain.
Overall, fun to have to teach kids/teens about science and see that it’s in their day-to-day lives and not just in the classroom, but not much more than for a beginners/hobbyists.
