Customer Reviews
This scope has been excellent. It came in secure packaging from Amazon, each eye piece and lens was well packed inside of it, and everything arrived promptly.
I had read the last reviewers post about difficult seeing things above 600x, but like the comments say underneath it, you have to use oil at 1500x. The lens piece actually says "OIL" on it so you don't get confused.
The 5 pack of slides was fine with it, and I also picked up a 25 pack as well to go with it. They all look great at even 1500x magnification. I've only done minimal experimentation with making my own slides (cheek scrape, blood, etc) and it's easy to do (You may need to get a few extra liquids to get the right contrast to your sample).
This scope is not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for when it comes to optics of any kind. The controls are really easy to use on it, it's easy to fine tune, changing slides is easy, and there's a nice hard stop so you never have to worry about sending your longest lens through a slide on accident ;)
I bought this microscope for my middle schooler and it has worked out really well so far. The body of the microscope is very sturdy and fairly heavy (as it should be), so it is better for an adult to set it up in a permanent place. Setting up the objective lenses and the eyepiece is simple but again requires an adult. Once set up, it is a delight to use. All controls operate smoothly: there are knobs for coarse and fine focus and the motion of the stage can be controlled in the horizontal plane. The binocular eyepiece works really well and is less tiring on the eyes. Useful tip: We found that it is better to keep our eyes about half a centimeter away from the eyepiece lenses while adjusting the distance between them. The glass optics makes a huge difference compared to cheaper microscopes in terms of image quality. The images are sharp and crisp at all magnifications except the highest one. However, that is because the objective must come in contact with the specimen through a special oil droplet (oil supplied with the kit) and we haven't quite mastered this technique yet.
