Better than other reviews led me to believe

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.

Great microscope

This is my first microscope but from what I can tell it is a great microscope.

Better than expected microscope.

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.
