I purchased the AmScope 3.5X-180X INSPECTION TRINOCULAR STEREO ZOOM MICROSCOPE along with the LED light ring. I have found that the halogen bulbs get extremely hot, both the bottom and top and do not generate enough light for viewing various items when in full zoom. Because the scope is new the original halogen bulbs and lamps will create a plastic burning smell due to the amount of heat they produce. I assume this smell will go away over time. The LED produces little to zero heat and produces a white light instead a warm yellow light. Highly recommend the LED light.

My primary use of the light and scope is to capture photos and video of freshwater lifeforms and plants for the show Talking Scuba.

If doing DSLR photography or video using the AmScope SLR / D-SLR Camera Adapter for Microscopes I have found that additional LED lights may be necessary to get enough light for a good exposure without bumping up the ISO. Be prepared to setup additional LED lights on a stand to get proper exposure. When using my T3i I found that there was so much light on the subject to the naked eye it look almost white but in the camera it had normal exposure.

the lights are adjustable which is great for that pcb that is shiny and no reflect into the eyes, I can see more detail, and my work seems to go faster now I can really see what I am doing, very compact, doesn't get in the way, just perfect.

bought it to improve microscope camera pictures but little improvement with picture...not as bright as I would have liked or thought it would be. No shadows from the specimen

works as described, easy install. Good illumination. Something they did that is rare-they considered what parts would be needed for the different microscopes out there, and included jigs to make it work. well done...

I received this item and have used for 3 weeks. I like this 144-LED microscope ring light as it saves space and provides enough luminosity for procedures under stereomicroscop. In addition the price is good.
