This is my first binocular microscope and this set offers everything for beginners. I am very excited to see the tiny objects up close and fine. Overall, I think it's a great entry-level binocular microscope and the price is reasonable.

Great little microscope for beginners and those who want to become familiar with the tools and techniques needed to use a microscope properly. The optics are clear but unfortunately quite dusty, which definitely affects the otherwise flawless performance of this microscope. A quality instrument and the tools and accessories that come with it are great too. The inside needs cleaning but other than that it's a great microscope.

My daughter was so excited about this microscope! A chance for her to see every day things up close, and clearly, has been awesome! It is definitely well made and sturdy- stout even. The case is fantastic and really well lined to keep it safe!

got this microscope for my 15 year old son for Christmas. He loves it and so do I. The microscope can be powered using either the included power cord or three AA batteries. It has light sources below and above. The eyecups are adjustable for different eye widths and the entire top can be rotated for better viewing. The stage can be adjusted left to right and front to back. Only two prepared slides are included, but everything you need to prepare your own slides and samples and conduct your own research is included. My son has a box of 25 prepared slides that work great with this microscope. All experimental equipment is housed in a stable box and keeps everything together. The main case, in which the microscope and all accessories are located, seems stable and really keeps everything in place during transport. The phone adapter works perfectly and sucks your phone. It really helps many people look at the specimen on the slide at the same time and makes it easier for the viewer to take notes on what they see.

ordered this to replace one my youngest son had dropped (more than once). They're a bit older now and I hope we'll be more careful with that. I originally got a microscope when my boys were distance learning at home during the Corona crisis. The purchase was definitely not part of the curriculum but they/us had so much fun! They are both visual learners like me. I always enjoyed science/biology at school so I was probably more excited than they were. This works just as well as our old one (which cost more), except the body doesn't shake and the lenses aren't scratched, at least not yet. We recently removed a tick from our dog and decided to look at it under a microscope - see image. If you've never done this before, I highly recommend it! You can see the blood pumping through the body and all. It's a bit gross and not for everyone I know! It takes a little getting used to at first, especially if you haven't used a microscope for a while, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. In my opinion the quality is really decent for the price and it comes with some 'extras' too. The magnification works well for most things and I find the resolution quite clear. It has multiple light sources, but placing it in a well-lit spot also helps. The case is mostly made of metal and seems relatively robust. The buttons for moving the sliders back and forth aren't as smooth as I'd hoped, as they occasionally get stuck, although that wasn't a major issue. I wouldn't expect lab quality as it's definitely more of an entry-level microscope. I probably would have given it four stars if it was more expensive.

It’s my 1st microscope..so I don’t know much about it at all but it’s nice. So far I looked at parasites in my aquarium filter and parasites in an raw oyster. But I don’t like the way they used word play with that “connect you phone” thing making someone that’s not paying attention think they mean “connect “ as in Bluetooth… tricky tricky and he cd rom was broken

Great microscope for both beginners and advanced users. I like that the neck rotates 360 degrees so you can show someone else the image without having to get up from your chair. With the cell phone adapter, you can even take photos of what you're looking at. Comes with everything you need including a carrying case, instruction manual, power adapter or 3 AA batteries for top and bottom lights, cellphone adapter, 2 different eyepieces, 10 and 25X, 10 slides and 5 blank slides, as well as a petrie dish cleaning cloth and a pipette. As expected, the image quality is quite good. Overall a winner in my eyes. See what I just did there... lol. I hope this helps you in your decision making.

The microscope is made of metal and is therefore robust. It is ideal for children who are interested in science or anyone with a hobby or interest in biology. It is well packed in a carrying bag.

It's my first microscope. So I don't know much about it at all, but it's nice. So far I've looked at parasites in my aquarium filter and parasites in a raw oyster. But I don't like the way they used puns on the "connect your phone" thing to make anyone who isn't paying attention think they mean "connect," like Bluetooth... tricky, tricky and the CD-ROM was broken

I really liked it, it was my first purchase on Amazon and I really recommend it. I'm a 9th semester microbiology student and this microscope is really good. It helps me to observe my culture of microalgae and various microorganisms. Thank you!
