SKU: GW45.0065
ordered this to replace one my youngest son had dropped (more than once). They're a bit older now and I hope we'll be more careful with that. I originally got a microscope when my boys were distance learning at home during the Corona crisis. The purchase was definitely not part of the curriculum but they/us had so much fun! They are both visual learners like me. I always enjoyed science/biology at school so I was probably more excited than they were. This works just as well as our old one (which cost more), except the body doesn't shake and the lenses aren't scratched, at least not yet. We recently removed a tick from our dog and decided to look at it under a microscope - see image. If you've never done this before, I highly recommend it! You can see the blood pumping through the body and all. It's a bit gross and not for everyone I know! It takes a little getting used to at first, especially if you haven't used a microscope for a while, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. In my opinion the quality is really decent for the price and it comes with some 'extras' too. The magnification works well for most things and I find the resolution quite clear. It has multiple light sources, but placing it in a well-lit spot also helps. The case is mostly made of metal and seems relatively robust. The buttons for moving the sliders back and forth aren't as smooth as I'd hoped, as they occasionally get stuck, although that wasn't a major issue. I wouldn't expect lab quality as it's definitely more of an entry-level microscope. I probably would have given it four stars if it was more expensive.

Great little microscope for beginners and those who want to become familiar with the tools and techniques needed to use a microscope properly. The optics are clear but unfortunately quite dusty, which definitely affects the otherwise flawless performance of this microscope. A quality instrument and the tools and accessories that come with it are great too. The inside needs cleaning but other than that it's a great microscope.

What I like about it is that you can use both eyes at the same time and see really fine details that you might not see if you only use one to see. I would highly recommend my friend. Thank you very much. I hope my review was helpful to you. If yes, please let me know by ticking the box below. God protect you. May the rest of your life be the best of your life. Oh Dee.

My daughter was so excited about this microscope! A chance for her to see every day things up close, and clearly, has been awesome! It is definitely well made and sturdy- stout even. The case is fantastic and really well lined to keep it safe!

Excellent binocular microscope. Binocular eyepieces are easier to focus and offer better observation and therefore reliable results. The LED light option is suitable for observing non-transparent objects, such as fabric or leaves, flowers, etc. The eye relief can be flexibly adjusted according to the desired need. The quality of the products is super good and the price is right.

If you are looking for a semi-professional, inexpensive microscope, buy this one! Nice quality, works very well, nice case! The only gripe is that the lenses aren't as "close together" as some others. So if your eyes are a little closer together than normal, this may not work well for you. Beyond amazing.
