Affordable dissecting scope.

I purchased this microscope to support a recent USAID Farmer-to-Farmer assignment teaching African catfish fingerling production in Nigeria. It was quite effective and affordable for my needs. The camera allowed the entire class to see what was going on (fish eggs hatching) on my computer without the need for everyone lining up to look into the microscope. I am giving it a "5" rating because it performed very well for an inexpensive dissecting microscope; however, I left it behind in Nigeria because this sort of product was very hard to come by there and usually at considerably more expense due to shipping costs to Africa. I am replacing it with another AmScope dissecting microscope, but a 10-20-30-60 scope just because of the size of what I need to look at in the future. I would have preferred a zoom microscope, but these simply cost more and my budget won't justify the convenience. BTW, it travelled quite well in the original shipping container packed into my baggage.

The option to view on a laptop or other screen is great for sharing

I've been showing the grandkids the micro world and it's really stimulated their interest in seeing more. Budding scientists which we need in this world. Incredible deal for the price. 10 plus years ago this instrument would have been 3 to 4 times the cost.

Great With a 144 LED Ring Light

The halogen lights are extremely hot and produce too much glare for metallurgical use. I removed the halogen lights, transformer, cord, and installed a 144 LED Ring Light instead. With a 12 V power supply (8 X rechargeable AA battery holder) stored in the base, it is now a great portable and affordable metallurgical microscope. Very handy for impressing clients in the office or field, and the photos can be annotated, scaled, etc. for inclusion in formal engineering proposals that are guaranteed to attract attention.

Great gift

My mother loved this as a Christmas gift. She had trouble with the camera but customer service was very helpful with getting this working.

Five Stars

This scope is much better than the ones I use in my college labs.
