Good quality build for the money. Good image quality, claimed magnification seems correct compared to a Leica system I use at work. You can easily see shape of blood cells. I use at work. X-y stage quality a nice surprise. Solid heavy design, not precise in every way but good where it counts. Is well aligned, good adjust-ability for light. The dark field works very well.
Field of view was not great, but better then I expect at this price. 100x objective is oil type. Wish it were air, or oil/water. I also wish it had a high power LED light,
Shopping, for this microscope I saw many comments concerning Amscope in general, basically saying you should buy a used scope. That this is the "only" way to get a good value in low end scopes. About 10 years ago I agreed, and I bought two as gifts for nieces and nephews. At the time this was great. However this time I could not find any good deals on used scopes (non less than 4x the price with dark field). For around the same price I payed 10 years ago for used scopes, this Amscope is better in some ways, equal in most. I would have preferred to buy used, but did not find half this value. And I did not have to worry about scratched lenses.
Added note: later bought Amscope Canon SLR to c-mount adapter (wth 2x mag) and 23mm 20X eyepieces. These worked as expected in this scope. The canon camera adapter was overpriced, yet much cheaper than alternatives I have found.
If anyone has tried the 25x eyepiece please comment.
