As a metal detector user and meteorite hunter, this was just what I needed! But, that the quality could be like this, was something I never thought possible! It`s so great!

First...I am NOT a professional microscope user. I can only review this from what I needed and the price point I was willing to spend. I build scale models out of brass, copper, and aluminum. Some of the detail that I as striving for is very fine. I was using one of those lighted magnifiers on a boom, but even those weren't even strong enough for the detail I am striving for. Hence...the search for a microscope.I bought this particular model with the florescent light ring. Since I am working with reflective metals, I felt the LED lights were going to be too bright. My shop already has florescent lights, so I thought it would be best to go with the florescent ring light.
I called the sales department with a few questions (one being the light choice which the salesman agreed with my logic) and I received satisfactory answers to everything. I also had an idea of the answers and he actually just reaffirmed that I was making the correct choice.
I used the microscope for the first time this weekend, soldering some parts together that the amount of solder used is crucial so as not to blob it. The microscope worked perfectly for the task. I can now see what I am doing!
I was surprised how heavy this thing is and how well built it feels. I was really wondering about the quality because I saw various other microscopes costing well over double for what I paid for this.
As a caveat...I have no idea how this would compare to something that costs $2000, but for me and my $500 budget, it works perfectly. I bought the trinocular version because I wanted the capability to add a camera to the unit at a later date.
