Review: Great Value Buy You will be very pleased after buying ... - Great Value Buy You will be very pleased after buying this microscope, as it is an extremely good option, especially for the price. The ideal user would be an infrequent user that doesn't not require an extremely high quality internal look inside cells. I personally use this microscope for analyzing semen samples collected from swine. I am fully able to accurately assess motility and morphology of the cells. How It Can Help You This microscope will allow you to accurately view cells on a molecular level. If you are looking for a basic entry level microscope I am quite certain that this device will more than exceed your level of expectations. The criteria I used to evaluate this product are pretty basic; ease of use, quality of focus, and light permeability. You will find that this product is extremely to use. The basic setup of the focus knobs are easy to distinguish between the corse adjustment, larger knob, and fine adjustment, small knob, easily allowing you to finely adjust your viewpoint on your desired specimen. I also appreciate the quality of focus this device can provide its users, which after purchase I'm sure you will too. Lastly the adjustable bulb shade allows you to effectively shade the amount of light that penetrates the slide. This will allow you to easily push light through darker specimens or lower for clear cells. Closing The Deal Overall, I would highly recommend this product to nearly any entry level user it can come with a few draw backs for a more advanced user such as, inability to see inside cells clearly and lack of a binocular objective, which could be expected as it is clearly marketed as a monocular objective however I do think it could improve the ease and clarity of use. However, this scope has fully met and exceeded all of my expectations for this device and I am extremely happy with this product and would buy it again.
Review: Great Microscope for Middle School or beginner scientist. - I ordered 17 of these microscopes for my 8th grade science class. The overall build is solid and comparable to most scopes I have had students use in the past. I really like the LED light and the ability to adjust the LED as well as the diaphragm. This gives you two options for adjusting the light. The objectives seem to be of good quality and the stage has a nice distinct end stop that makes it clear when you are at the end (no soft feeling). For the price the 5 MP camera is fantastic and takes great pictures. I agree with another reviewer that when in live mode at the 5 MP the view is a bit choppy so moving specimens under the best resolution doesn't work well but It far exceeds the quality of any microscope that I used in this price range! I like the battery mode that makes them mobile but you need an allen key to open the battery case. The only two small draw backs are the cord and the eyepiece. The cords are very thin and I worry about them long term being able to hold up to the wear and tear of 8th graders. The eyepiece is removable which is great but it would be nice to have a locking screw to hold it or the camera in place (kids like to play and touch everything). Never the less they are great beginner microscopes so you can't compare them to a microscope that is 4-5 times the cost and and the price is about 1/2 of what they were a few years ago!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: One of the pictures indicates it can be connected to a computer, I assume via USB cable. Is that a correct assumption? If so , does the cable come wit**
A: Purchased May 2017: I made the mistake of assuming this had a camera with USB computer because of the product description. In my opinion it is very misleading. You're only getting a microscope, 1 extra eye piece, and an AC adapter. No other cables or slides included.

**Q: If my son put things like hair, or a penny, or grass under it, would he be able to see them? I know some microscopes have a top light for seeing these**
A: This is what the manufacturer states: This is a perfect microscope for students to learn science. It comes with full optical glass elements, metal framework, 360 degree rotatable monocular head, coarse & fine focusing, and LED illumination. It offers five magnification settings, 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X and 1000X. It is an ideal microscope for home school or for students from elementary to high school. It is also an excellent instrument for hobbyists.Features :A Great Affordable High Power Student Microscope with Coarse & Fine Focusing45 Degree Inclined 360 Degree Swiveling Monocular Head with Locked-in EyepieceBuilt-In Contemporary LED IlluminationPlain Stage with Clips and Stain Resistant FinishFully Coated Optical SystemHigh Resolution Offering Sharp ImagesFive Levels of Magnification: 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X and 1000XSingle Lens Condenser and Disc DiaphragmFocusing Control Knobs on Both SidesFull Optical Glass ElementsPrecise Ground Glass LensAll Metal Mechanical ComponentsSolid Metal Frame with Stain Resistant Enamel FinishManufactured under ISO 9001 Quality Control StandardExcellent Five (5) Year Factory WarrantyUnbeatable low price Guaranteed or the Difference Back!Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back!Specifications :Head: 45 degree inclined monocularEyepiece: WF10X & 25XObjectives: 4X, 10X, 40XCondenser: single lens with disc diaphragmStage Dimensions: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2"Illumination: LEDPower Supply: 110V/60Hz

**Q: can this see sperm?**
A: Yes, it is. You need 100x to see movement in general and 400x to see individual sperm. But, you will not be able to see great detail such as morphology, which required 6300x.

**Q: Is the LED light dimmable?**
A: Yes. There is a dial near the bottom.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, with limitations
*by B***E on October 3, 2025*

Build quality is good for the price. Optics are good, at least for the two lower-power lenses (didn't try the other). However, my specimens are mounted in diamond-polished epoxy mounts about 1/2 inch thick. Because the stage (surface that holds the slide in most usages) cannot be moved (it is fixed to the microscope body and base) I am unable to move the lens far enough from the specimen to focus.
