Review: Amazing first scope/gift for kids! - This scope is a bargain for its quality and ease of use. I already feel I made the perfect choice for a first scope for our children (ages 10, 9, 7,3). It was very easy to set up. Within minutes we were viewing slides (bought the set of 25 from Amscope). Then we grabbed a Japanese lady beetle off the floor and put it under 30x. Creepy! Amazing! Crisp images of its still twitching legs and mouthparts. Great view of its compound eyes. Wife practically jumped off the chair when she saw it! We have also looked at: moss, fungus, lake water/gravel (complete with tiny live clams), coins, toothpick, a band aid, rock salt. Can't wait to find some spiders! Things I like about this scope: inexpensive, metal construction, crisp optics, bright light, easy to adjust inter pupillary distance, ability to throw just about anything you find under it, kids' delightful responses to seeing things, stereo optics. Things I don't like: nothing yet. If you are looking for a great easy to use, quality scope this seems like a perfect choice. This is a high value item to bring into your home. Will update review in a the future. Happy shopping! Update 1: (one hour later) Couldn't resist going back to 'the scope' tonight. Found what appears to be live midge larvae and an aquatic worm in the lake sand sample. Sucked them out with a pipette. They are now waiting in small bowl for my kids to check out when they wake in the morning. This thing is so darned cool! Also I dialed in the diopter on the left eyepiece and the image clarity went from crisp to ultra HD. Update 2: (about three months later) It is great to own this scope. We throw anything under it and are amazed by what we see: feathers, bugs, coins, etc. I just brought it to work to check out some high tech sandpaper we just bought. It was incredible to see it at 30X. My colleagues couldn't stop looking for things to put under the scope, and one even said "I have to get one of these!" So, I recommend this for anybody for a home scope of low/med power that is great for kids and adults alike. Very easy to set up an use. BONUS: You can use an iPhone (I have an iPhone 6) to take pictures through the eyepiece! See attached photos.
Review: Good Value - I needed a microscope for insect identification for my business. This one seemed to fit my needs and the price was right. Keep in mind that this is NOT a microscope for viewing microscopic specimens like hairs, plant cells, single celled organisms etc. You need a compound microscope for viewing specimens that are microscopic. This scope is for magnifying jewelry, coins, electronics, insects, etc. Having used very expensive (over $1000) microscopes at the university level in the past, my expectations for this microscope weren't very high. I'm also an avid amateur astronomer, so I am picky about the quality of my optics. I was pleasantly surprised with this microscope. Starting with the low power (10x) eyepieces first, I found images to be sharp over much of he field of view. Eye relief was comfortable. The high power (20X) eyepiece was not as comfortable to use--eye relief was tight. Luckily, for my uses, I will mainly be using the lowest power. The focus was nice and smooth. The lights were both very bright. Two minor quibbles...This scope is advertised as having "wide field" eyepieces. These are not wide field eyepieces by any measure of the word. By comparing the eyepieces with my astronomical eyepieces, I found the apparent field of view to be a very modest 45 degrees. I've never heard of any eyepiece of less than 60 degree apparent field of view as being "wide field." They are still good eyepieces for the price--just not "wide field." Also, the screw that you have to remove to change out the eyepieces is EXTREMELY tiny! It requires a tiny screwdriver and these screws could get lost easily. This was a totally unnecessary feature. A large screw that can be twisted by hand would have been much more convenient and would have cost next to nothing to include. Is this scope as good as scopes costing over $1000? No. Of course not. You get what you pay for. The more expensive scopes are sturdier and have better quality optics. If you are going to be spending every day, all day, looking through your scope, you should spend more. However, for occasional professional use or for the average home user, this scope would suit most people's needs. I am happy I purchased this scope over the similar AmScope with the 20x-40x-80x eyepieces. I really feel that the 10x eyepiece provides the most useful magnification. 20x is simply too much magnification to have as the lowest power for looking at insects. At 10x, I can usually see the entire insect. When I zoom in to 20x or 30x, I might only be seeing the head or the eye of the insect. In this case, less is more. My two quibbles aside, overall, a good value for the money. UPDATE 4/11/15 After having this scope for over a year now, I have found it to be more useful than I had originally anticipated. My mother wanted to sell some coins and we used this microscope to help ID some of her coins. My wife wanted to alter some of her jewelry and we used the scope to get a closer look at her rings. And then there is the use for this scope that I had never originally thought of--sticker removal! You know how you get a sticker or thorn in your finger and you have a hard time seeing it to remove it because it is so tiny, but it still hurts just the same? The other day I had my wife's finger under the scope (still attached to her body :)) and I was using a needle and tweezers to get a sticker out that she couldn't even see with the unaided eye. Using this scope to do the sticker removal made the job so much easier. So, overall, I'd say we've used this scope more than I expected. It seems like there's always a reason that you want to zoom in on something tiny. Again, 10x is usually the most useful magnification for most uses. So we are still pleased with our purchase over a year later.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i am a roman coin collector, would this microscope be useful for old coins? some of my coins need more magnification other than my 5x handheld divice**
A: I bought this scope for basically the same purpose (plus other things).  I love this scope, it is clear, nicely made, plenty of light both for top viewing and underneath.  Has all the magnification that I need.  The optics are surprisingly good at this price point, its not a Nikon or Zeiss, but is more than good enough to look at coins or insects.

**Q: What type of current does this require? Will it with outside the US?**
A: It uses U.S. Standard 120 volt. I would think that you can get an adapter for use outside the United States. There is a tag on the power supply housing that says primary 115 volt secondary 12 volt 10 watt. If you are good with electronics you could add a jack to give it 12 volts after the rectifiers. Hope this helps.

**Q: How do you change from one magnification to another since there is no zoom. Do you have to switch out lenses?**
A: Hold onto the gray part below eye pieces and give the black part under it (above the stage) a twist to switch between 2x and 4x. So no need to switch eye pieces (though you can if buy other magnifications; the ones provided are 10x).

**Q: Does this come with everything it needs to use out of the box? Or do I need to purchase extras? Thanks!**
A: Everything I needed to set up and operate the scope was in the box plus two extra eyepieces to adjust magnification. Slides and slide covers for specimens need to be purchased extra.
