Pros & Cons
Pros
The microscope itself is amazing and with all the correct pieces and software, you can do some awesome things. It's like photography. This microscope has a top notch build. Includes a movable stage with calipers to hold slides.
The body is cast, heavy and solid, no toque issues during focus. The stage is also solidly built. The coarse and fine focus knobs work well.
I love it, but i left it on too long and the bulb died.
Cons
Camera can't be connected to the computer. It also requires a cd disc drive which was not mentioned so u can’t hook it up to my macbook! No included software. No real instructions. The documentation is so pathetically poor.
Highlights
Quality
Is a great teaching microscope sturdy and easy to use.
All adjustments, stage and focus (coarse and fine) are well built and offer smooth movement.
Do not unscrew it, or the whole top of the scope will fall off!
I notice the eyepiece head can only rotate (but unstable) with the holding screw unlocked, it thus makes it very unstable and difficult.
Price
It works very well and is a steal at the price.

All the screws holding the head mount on were floating loose in the microscope and one was missingit feels a bit cheap in the action of the stage but for the money good value
