Great value for the price. No issues, solid scope.

Good amateur microscope. Nice packaging

For the price, this is an amazing microscope. Feels solid after it's setup. The extras are good quality with lots of options, but aren't professional grade. This is a great beginner or hobbiest microscope. The included 1.5mp camera is plug & play with Windows & gives an ok picture at 1080 - 30fps. The only thing this doesn't come with out of the box is the immersion oil for the x5000 lens & i can't really knock off a star for that. Not lab grade microscope, but more than i will ever need for home use.

I ordered this microscope because I homeschool my kids and it is awesome! Very heavy duty and comes with multiple eye pieces, some prepared slides, empty slides, a petri dish, a collection flask and an attachment that allows you to attach your phone to the eyepiece. It is pretty simple to start using, but I'm sure there are things that I haven't even figured out how to use yet. It is definitely beyond what you usually get for a kids at home microscope.

to me this is a toy just so I can see what can not be seen - having lots of fun and it it built very well

I'm quite surprised as to the good quality of this microscope for the price. I was expecting a bit less but pleased with what was received. The body is cast, heavy and solid, no toque issues during focus. The stage is also solidly built, if it's plastic it doesn't feel like it, it feels like metal with a powder coating or something. The stage clip could use a bit of work but it holds the slides in place well enough. All adjustments, stage and focus (coarse and fine) are well built and offer smooth movement. The condenser and aperture surprised me on this one, again for the price range I really assumed they would have skimped on the quality here but they actually pulled through and included some decent hardware that offers good lighting distribution and contrast adjustments. The LED itself, however, could use some work as the brightness levels aren't the best. Obviously it can dim down to off, but it doesn't seem to want to get bright enough when the aperture is closed all the way for higher contrast, it could use a bit more brightness, especially if using the 100/1.25 objective lens.
The video in this review shows the blood sample provided with the microscope at 3 stages, recorded with my phone with the included phone mount atop the 2x & 25x lenses. The 1st part is 4/0.1 (200x), 2nd part is with 10/0.25 (500x), and 3rd / final part is with the 40/0.65 (2,000x).
The phone mount is cheap plastic and wobbles around on the eyepiece, but locks to the phone quite well and offers adequate adjustments for your phone camera lens placement.
Power supply is via a USB plug but the microscope itself doesn't have a USB plug (see picture of plug type). Power output of provided adapter states it's 1,000mA, so 1 amp, so keep that in mind in case you plan on using this with a USB power bank. Possible as long as it can output enough current.
No broken or missing parts and overall very pleased. This will provide an amazing learning experience for the kids, with adult supervision and guidance. Highly recommend for any young aspiring scientists out there.

The microscope itself is amazing and with all the correct pieces and software, you can do some awesome things. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it came with a disk instead of a link to download the software to use the eyepiece. And the instructions didn't really give good instructions on how to set it up. But they did state in the instructions to email them if you can't use the disk. When I emailed they were very responsive. The first link they sent didn't work but they provided other options based off if I had a Mac or PC and they gave me the correct software for my Mac and it worked. It took a while to position it correctly though to actually see something on my screen but I figured that out as I kept playing with it. The instructions weren't that great but the product itself was well worth the investment.

Got this for when my oldest grandkid is over. He is obsessed with bugs and science. This has been a great tool for feeding that curiosity. This microscope is well made and comes with so many accessories. We are pretty much beginners but this turned out to be pretty user friendly. The best feature is the ability to mount your phone and display the image on the bigger screen. We have only scratched the surface of its capabilities and will grow with us as we dive deeper into it. Comes with a case so you can keep it all together and dust free when not in use. I have not had a chance to hook it up to a computer yet but looking forward to displaying on an even bigger screen. The best part is watching the amazement of my grandchild as we use it. Very well built with lots of adjustments and you can even control the led brightness. This would be great for older children and adults alike.

My pre-teen grandson is planning on being a biologist. I ordered this so he can experience nature through the eyes of a microscope. Needless to say, he’s having a blast. It is solid quality. Comes with slides, both loaded and plain. It also has a carrying case so he can take it wherever he goes, and he does. This is an adult microscope, so it’s not just for teens. An adult would love it, too. All in all, I’m very impressed with the quality and will highly recommend it. The price is fantastic for such a first rate product. Easy five stars.

The light on the microscope doesn’t work and it came like that. I still haven’t been able to find a number from the company so we can replace it.
