AmScope 40X-1000X Biological Compound Microscope with Prepared and Blank Slides for Student and Kids

The product finishing is same i expected. And looks great.But ilumination light got damaged immediately by puting the adopter in socket.

We had purchased another microscope and it was mostly plastic. We couldn't adjust the focus easily. Fortunately, we saw this one online and for just a few dollars more it came with a plug-in LED light source, much better optics, and was easy to focus. This will work just fine for our middle school aged granddaughter. Beware of the microscopes where the light source is powered by 2 AA batteries. Not enough light to see anything.

Needed a microscope for school, the reviews kind of threw me off and stressed me out so I waited to order it until the last minute, browsing all other choices. Turns out it works fine for what was needed I believe, general college biology. Sure will have to get a better model for use in later classes in the future, but short term and for this class in particular it was perfect. Would have to get better one in future for the magnification will not be strong enough. So overall, don't be skeptical in buying, really worked great and got the job done for the price despite the skeptics.

My 3 year old is slowly losing her mind in self-quarantine, so I decided to get her something that would catch her curiosity. This did it! She's wanted to see everything under this microscope, from fruits and fur to insects from her mom's plant collection. It's a fun and easy to use tool to keep your kids entertained, and introduce them early to things they may take a strong interest in later. For the price, this was a great purchase!

I ordered this microscope to use in my college biology course and it has been wonderful. I didn’t use the prepared slides all that much, but they were wonderful to view!

I felt this microscope was too cheap. I did buy the cheapest one I could for school but expected it to work a little better. Perhaps because I was using it for college level stuff rather than elementary things. It was hard to find the field, some specimens did not look great. I also keep finding sticky stuff around the lenses.
