The 10x eyepiece provides the most useful magnification. It seems like there's always a reason that you want to zoom in on something tiny.

Highlights
Quality
I am using it in the classroom setting to examine bug specimens and i could not be more pleased with the product
The whole thing feels fairly solid and ive been very happy with the purchase so far
Im also an avid amateur astronomer so i am picky about the quality of my optics
They are still good eyepieces for the pricejust not wide field
Price
This one seemed to fit my needs and the price was right
An excellent microscope and at a very reasonable price
Packaging/appearance
Scope arrived on time and work perfectly right out of the box
But the packaging that it came in left something to be desired
He will be getting the amscope 40x2000x biological binocular microscope this holiday
Competitiveness
I was worried that i might need more magnification than 60x for smd but i usually use 10x
These are darn near as good for a fraction of the price
It was incredible to see it at 30x
I purchased this one after returning a similar but cheaper model
