My item just arrived yesterday and i tried to get it working, so far i have been able to get item working. The manual is of less importance, and it is making it difficult to get one set up the phone connection. I wish there was an effective manual. If anyone has a solution on how to install and get the phone connection working, please let me know. I notice the eyepiece head can only rotate (but unstable) with the holding screw unlocked, it thus makes it very unstable and difficult. Picture quality is good, 3rd eye, and PC connect, good too. Now we shall watch how it holds up in the next weeks when subjected to sample examination.

I really like the microscope. It's an art to use one. You have to really take your time. Or get some more light. It's like photography. It is a wonderfully made. Microscope. I've been able to see all kinds of new things. It is well made. It works fantastic. I can't wait to test more of their products. Thank you. It's been a joy.

I'm quite surprised as to the good quality of this microscope for the price. I was expecting a bit less but pleased with what was received. The body is cast, heavy and solid, no toque issues during focus. The stage is also solidly built, if it's plastic it doesn't feel like it, it feels like metal with a powder coating or something. The stage clip could use a bit of work but it holds the slides in place well enough. All adjustments, stage and focus (coarse and fine) are well built and offer smooth movement. The condenser and aperture surprised me on this one, again for the price range I really assumed they would have skimped on the quality here but they actually pulled through and included some decent hardware that offers good lighting distribution and contrast adjustments. The LED itself, however, could use some work as the brightness levels aren't the best. Obviously it can dim down to off, but it doesn't seem to want to get bright enough when the aperture is closed all the way for higher contrast, it could use a bit more brightness, especially if using the 100/1.25 objective lens.
The video in this review shows the blood sample provided with the microscope at 3 stages, recorded with my phone with the included phone mount atop the 2x & 25x lenses. The 1st part is 4/0.1 (200x), 2nd part is with 10/0.25 (500x), and 3rd / final part is with the 40/0.65 (2,000x).
The phone mount is cheap plastic and wobbles around on the eyepiece, but locks to the phone quite well and offers adequate adjustments for your phone camera lens placement.
Power supply is via a USB plug but the microscope itself doesn't have a USB plug (see picture of plug type). Power output of provided adapter states it's 1,000mA, so 1 amp, so keep that in mind in case you plan on using this with a USB power bank. Possible as long as it can output enough current.
No broken or missing parts and overall very pleased. This will provide an amazing learning experience for the kids, with adult supervision and guidance. Highly recommend for any young aspiring scientists out there.

This microscope has a top notch build. All mechanisms rotate and adjust smoothly. I was very pleased with the lenses as well. They provided a crystal clear image on all slides I've observed. I was able to also successfully connect this to a monitor to view the slides on a larger screen. There is a phone mount included as well for recording footage. Overall I'm very pleased with the build and lens quality.

All the screws holding the head mount on were floating loose in the microscope and one was missing
It feels a bit cheap in the action of the stage but for the money good value

Overall, I love the microscope it works really well and I'm learning more each time i use it. I had to order and external drive to download the software to my laptop after days of trying to get the electric file sent to me with absolutely no response. So, i downloaded the software and bam the camera won't work so i just gave up on the camera which is very disappointing because i have bad vision and it would have made it a blessing. So, i guess i will have to order another camera from someone else which is very unfortunate because of paying for one with the microscope. And please don't tell me all I had to do is reach out to you i did with no results so if you want you can reach out to me.
