This microscope it a joy to use. It is almost as good as some of the microscopes I used while a researcher. It is definitely better than anything my high school students had. The mechanical stage is sturdy and glides smoothly and makes looking at specimens so much more enjoyable. Using the microscope I have been able to identify a few plant pests (microscopic mites) that were killing my house plants. I could even clearly seen internal organelle of a cheek cell. It is great quality and has wonderful magnification lens.

My precocious granddaughter wanted a microscope for Christmas, so I bought her one at a big box toy store. When I looked through the scope, I could see it was useless. I returned it immediately. I read all the reviews about the different scopes available, called AmScope(readily accessible), and made the decision to buy this model. I cannot begin to tell you how pleased my family is with the AmScope 40x-2000x. My son, an engineer, said the microscope was better than the one they use at his plant. The whole family is involved and enjoying the new world view!! In fact I am going to buy another one for me and my other granddaughter.Well-made, easy to use, and reasonably priced.

My Neice who recently garaduated from college were she used a microscope for many hours thought I did a good job picking this scope. We were able to identify the Truffles I found by their spores and the book Field Guide to North American Truffles.Honest reviews on AmScope 40X-2000X Advanced Home School Student Biological Compound
This is a 'toy' for supervised use by my almost-five-year-old. He loves it. Cheaper models were made of plastic, were very light, or had poor viewing aspects. This has ALL of the magnifications that I used in high school (and college, actually), including an oil-immersion lens! This comes with a mechanical stage and slide clip, which is SO helpful when trying to find the best spot for viewing (instead of bumping the slide at high magnifications and completely losing the thing you're looking for). It also comes with 10x and 20x eyepieces, although it looks like you have to remove a small screw to exchange them (probably a good idea, though). Upper end of what a microscope should have, including a high-quality diaphragm instead of the cheaper ones with holes of various sizes to turn and change how much light gets through. VERY impressed with what I got (I paid $150). Only bummer was that it didn't come with some slides and coverslips, so we had to wait a little while to use it (not the microscope's faultthey aren't supposed to be included; *make sure to buy some though). We bought the Amscope 200 piece set in wooden boxesFABULOUS! (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YWTKX8/ref=oh_details_o04_s02_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)Together, these kept my kid entertained forever! Big note thoughif that's something they like, you might really want to get some blanks so you can explore puddle water, your cheek cells, plant leaves, etc).
Great great microscope. Much better than what I'd hoped for. Please spend the extra money on one that's quality. Don't get one with a mirror for a light source, or that is made of plastic (you'll be very disappointed in the lens quality), or that uses only a battery (there's a reason this has a big fat cord, and it's because the light is nice and bright!). It's a whole lot easier to learn on a quality piece of equipment and then dumb it down if necessary, than to always have to try to figure out new things because you've been taught on something much simpler and of lower quality (well, that's my opinion, anyway...it IS a review!).
