AmScope SM-3T Professional Trinocular Stereo Zoom Microscope, WH10x Eyepieces, 7X-45X Magnification, 0.7X-4.5X Zoom Objective, Ambient Lighting, Single-Arm Boom Stand

This microscope instantly elevated my ability to fix watches, its amazing what you can accomplish if you can see what you're doing. The microscope arrived well packaged and was not too challenging to set up, and it pretty simple to use. The image is very clear and easy to focus if changing zoom levels or working distances. I did purchase the reducing lens to give myself more room to work under the microscope, and I also purchased the LED light ring. All told, for approximately $500 you get a very capable microscope that will help you perform any task in watch making. For example, prior to buying this, I couldn't lubricate and replace a cap jewel to same my life, I must have ruined a dozen watches just because the cap jewel would fly away simply because my loupe didn't give me the vision required. Since buying the microscope, I haven't lost a cap jewel yet. If youre serious about watchmaking, this microscope will make your experience 100% better.

of course, like you did, I bought the cheap $130 thing with the built-in screen. Was great. But... after a while you realize you cannot see the smallest of details of your watch that you must be able to see. Then I realized - this AmScope is only $300 more. I know that might seem like a lot, but not when you have all sorts of Swiss-made watchmaker's tools at ridiculous mark-up. This thing is a bargain! It is big, though, and heavy. WHICH I LOVE! It feels very solid. Doesn't wobble. And I think I do prefer this model - with the table stand, not the clamp. You can put it anywhere. The ocular part (looking through it) takes a lot of getting used to. If you need space for your hands, definitely get the Barlow lens too, as I did. That cuts the magnification in half - but it's still PLENTY for watchmaking. If I recall, the instructions kind of skipped over some important info. And, I actually had a critical component that was bad - the company was great! I think I submitted an email with pics, and they sent me out a replacement part right away. Very kind, very fast. Did I mention I absolutely love this thing? This thing will outlast me, I'm sure.

I use this microscope for watchmaking. It is absolutely perfect. In fact, it's an actual Game Changer for watchmaking. I can't believe I ever did this with only a loupe. A few tips for a new user: The microscope is incredibly easy to set up and fully adjustable. If you adjust it correctly, it can safely hang over the edge of your desk so you can sit fully upright in a comfortable chair while working. This would be the same for circuit boards, jewelry making or anything else where the space permits. For watchmaking, the 0.5 Barlow lens is critical since you need the space to work underneath the microscope. Also, my preference is NOT to sit directly above my items. Remember you have binocular vision with depth of field so if you're directly on top you can't work well. Angle the microscope a bit pointing 70-80 degrees instead of direct 90 depending on your preference. Pro Tip: Adjust the eyepieces all the way to their 'default' or 'original' point screwed clockwise. Now adjust the zoom to MINIMUM. Then adjust the main knob that says 'Tension' on it to be level top and bottom or in the 'center' of the mechanism's adjustment threshold, i.e. not all the way up or down, but in the middle. This is default ZERO stop. Now adjust the whole assembly's boom arm up or down until A.) you are sitting upright and comfortable and B.) you are closely or almost focused on an object sitting at work height. Now, and only now should you adjust your eyepieces to get the focus crisp and correct since you will not be able to focus fully by adjusting the boom (movements will be far too coarse!). Remember eyepieces should be adjusted for each eye individually with one eye closed at a time. Are you in focus? Okay, now zoom all the way in on your work piece at MAX magnification. Now adjust the Tension knob (the big one) to make focus crystal clear at MAX mag. Now use the zoom knob to zoom out all the way. You should still be in focus. In this way you can zoom in and out with very little adjustment IF your workpiece remains at the same working height. In other words, you should only be using the magnification knob most of the time, with fine adjustments for objects at varying heights on the table or workspace. Lastly, get a ring light, a great desk light as well that is moveable and a camera. Enjoy. I can't believe we live in a time where a microscope like this is sub $10,000. Amazing time to be alive.

Very high quality industrial grade microscope with rapid customer service.

I like the ease of this unit, which I use for watchmaking. It’s heft makes for a steady presence on the bench. The optics are clear and easily adjustable. I especially like being able to view items without removing my eyeglasses. My daily use of the loupe has declined by 90+%. Less back and neck strain (not having to hunch over the impossibly tiny watch movement parts. Highly recommended.

This stereo microscope is easy to set up and is very effective for watchmaking. There is alo a camera port on the tool . using the camera block the vision for the left eye so be aware. With a barlow .5 lens adapter your working area is about 8 inches so enough to use screwdrivers etc.

A decent scope - especially combined with a camera. I used an EOS M with an EF-M mount printed from thingiverse combined with the trinocular port for imaging. There was casting and manufacturing dust in several areas I had to clean out however. The images are clear - but the stand could use improvement. The knobs in particular seem udnersized - but larger knobs might cause the tapped castings to strip out as well. Great for electronics work when combined with a 0.5X barlow for more working space.

Súper funcional todo perfecto la imagen perfecta fácil de armar vale la pena tener este tipo de artículo

Calidad aceptable, pero tiene varios detalles que hay que considerar y seguramente están relacionados con su precio. 1) El detalle más importante es que los tornillos del brazo horizontal no fijan la barra y el microscopio inevitablemente gira. Lo solucioné al revisar internamente la pieza y notar que le falta una lámina que es la que presiona el tornillo para fijar el brazo. Le comparto mi solución: utilicé una lámina para calibrar bujías de auto, menor a 0.010, para cada tornillo del brazo y listo! 2) El tornillo de enfoque no es preciso y tarda uno bastante para lograr una nitidez aceptable. 3) El cubre objetivo de los lentes inferiores no enrrosca bien y se cae. Por lo demás funciona aceptablemente, yo lo uso para obtener microfotografías de rocas y minerales. Tal vez sea también útil para relojería. Lo voy a probar.

Me gusta la movilidad que tiene, yo lo utilizo para el estudio de documentos, y se le ha podido adaptar perfectamente la cámara de otro microscopio -estereoscopio que tenía. Tiene una especie de aguja que sirve para visionarlo por los oculares o a través de la pantalla del PC si se le incorpora una cámara de video. No me ha gustado que no tenga instrucciones en castellano, ya que he tenido que ponerme en contacto con el fabricante para poderlo tener a punto. Hay que realizar algunos ajustes al equipo. En general cumple las expectativas.

Hello! So i have been looking through "the jungle" for my purpose: Watch Repair. I am studying to Watchmaker and this was exactly what i was looking for. The package came quickly to Sweden (3 days!) The package does not include any instruction but that is not a problem because there are not many parts and by the photo of the Microscope you can see how the Microscope is built. I think there should be an integrated light with this one because of the price but its not a problem just remember to buy some light for your workshop. It will help alot! Shipping was quick! I am satisfied with this product and i can recommend it to others! If you want, you can buy a camera and attach it like i did. It is perfect! I don't regret buying this because i am using it every day! Thank You!
