Excellent binocular microscope. Binocular eyepieces are easier to focus and offer better observation and therefore reliable results. The LED light option is suitable for observing non-transparent objects, such as fabric or leaves, flowers, etc. The eye relief can be flexibly adjusted according to the desired need. The quality of the products is super good and the price is right.

I got this microscope for my 15 year old son for Christmas. He loves it and so do I.The microscope can run on either the electrical cord provided or three AA batteries. It has bottom and top light sources. The eye pieces are adjustable for different users eye width and the whole top can rotate for easier viewing. The stage can be adjusted left to right and front to back.It only comes with two prepared slides but has everything you would need to prepare your own slides and samples and conduct your own inquiries. My son has a case of 25 prepared slides that work great with this microscope.All of the experiment supplies are housed in a sturdy box and keep everything together. The main case that holds the microscope and all accessories seems sturdy and really holds everything snuggly in place when in transit.The phone adapter works perfectly and suction cups to your phone. It really helps for many people at once to observe the specimen on the slide and makes it easier for the viewer to take notes on what they see.

As a lab tech, I was pretty surprised of the quality. It is actually made of some kind of metal. It’s not as heavy as hospital grade but it’s still pretty sturdy. The lens look decent. I like that you can connect this to a monitor. It actually has immersion oil provided as well. The forceps feel pretty strong too. I like that it includes slides and glass covers. Although it would have been neat if they provided some stained slides. I would definitely gift this to someone who is into science.

bought this as a home resource for my biology class and it really helped me reinforce the lab "lessons" on microscopy. I recommend it to all beginning science students!

No dislikes!!! I had no idea how much I missed using one. While you might not think Foresters wouldn't use one often, I did it for the first three years of my career and loved it!!! Now I'm picking up where I left off. If there was anything negative about the kit it would be that there were no lens caps.

enjoy micro hunting while hiking and taking samples wherever I can. This microscope is good, don't get me wrong, if you are a beginner and want to learn about the different microorganisms around you then this is 100% for you. However, the magnification is not what you would want if you want to see living organisms in water, cells, etc. up close and study them up close. Worth the price.
