Good microscope for casual use, hard to use > 1000x. Good price.
1 of 1 found this helpful Overall, this microscope a good value, suitable for casual use if the user does not need to use 1000x. In general it works well. One surprise was its size (about 2/3 the size of standard microscopes) -- the base of the unit is about 5x7", and the eyepieces are about 13" above the surface. This small size puts the focus knobs a bit too close to the stage, but this isn't a deal breaker. The microscope is sturdy and should last well. The software was easy to install.
A serious shortcoming is the difficulty focusing at 1000x -- the slightest movement of the fine focus knob makes a big difference in focus. The stage scale (the 'ruler' with x and y axis marked in mm) is difficult to use, especially the x-axis, because the two opposing scales are separated by a few mm. Another problem is the 40x objective, which is long enough to contact immersion oil after using the 100x objective.
PS don't get excited about the magnifications over 1000x that are advertized. No light microscope can do much better than 1000x -- beyond this, the image is enlarged but there's no additional resolution. In other words, you'll see a bigger image but no finer details -- just enlarged view of the same fuzzy blobs. The resolution of light microscopes is limited by the wavelength of light.
