Great Value BuyYou 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.
