AmScope Binocular Stereo Dissecting Microscope 20x-40x-80x Reviews

Binocular Stereo Dissecting Microscope 20x-40x-80x Reviews:

I purchased 8 of these for my 6th grade class. They are perfect for our needs. The wide range 20-80 power makes them versatile. The scopes were well built and sturdy enough for classroom use. Shipping was fast and they were packaged very well.

This binocular stereo microscope comes with three magnification power settings, 20X, 40X & 80X, and a versatile illumination system that provides both incident (top) lighting and transmitted (bottom) lighting. You can choose between incident illumination shining down onto the object or transmitted illumination through the frosted stage plate.

AmScope 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope

AmScope 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope

I just bought the 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope (Dec 2011). The reason I choose this model was for the mechanical stage (sturdy, no wobbly), the 350 degree rotation head for 3 or 4 people to use without moving around and for camera use if I buy one in the future, and price.

I received it and everything looks fine. I tested it with some of the slides I ordered along with the microscope and it works really well. I will suggest you buy a cleaning kit along with the microscope. I wish I had one when I received mine. Also, you will need a storage or traveling box. Amscope sells 2 different ones for this microscope. I am still shopping around. I wish I had compare the warranty between the microscopes before I bought mine. This one only has 5 years warranty. I will suggest you look at a friend microscope before you buy one. This is a big investment (at least for me) Cover all your bases before you make your decision. I expect this microscope to be used by my children for all of their homeschooling years.

it is a good camera for microscope. I am very satisfied. But I want to purchase this article Microscope Case Vinyl Carrying Bag CB-B490 and Bright & Dark Field Microscope Phase Contrast Kit PCT, from amazon

40X-2000X Biological Compound Microscope with Mechanical Stage,AmScope

As a home-schooling mom of 6 I can't say enough about this scope. We have struggled with several under $100 microscopes and I wish we would have started with this one. It is simple enough for our 4 year old to use and advanced enough for our son in college. The mechanical stage is a definite plus making it easy to find all sorts of creatures and to give coordinates for science assignments. This is better than the scope I used in college and we have had a great time with it.
I would recommend purchasing slides, a good how to guide etc because you will quickly become addicted. Nothing beats the right tool to get the job done and all of a sudden, science is the favorite class. We have studied parameciums to stem cuttings. The only thing I can think of that makes this less than perfect is that I need a case. The desciption neglects to tell you what is included - 2 light filters, a lighting iris diaphragm to control light levels, dust cover - in short it was more than I expected. Crystal clear images and with someaneuvering we can get a 3d image.
The price can't be beat (especially with free shipping)- I HIGHLY recommend this scope and can't imagine a kid not mesmerized examining his own blood,cheek cells, dust mites, algae, pond creatures, pollen, bees' legs, flies' wings etc, etc
This microscope is well made and of metal construction. I have wanted a microscope for many years but the models I found in local hobby shops were either way too expensive or cheaply constructed of plastic. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to find and select this quality product. Upon receipt, I performed the simple assembly within 10 minutes and was viewing paramecium, amoeba, planaria and other creatures in a drop of water from my backyard pond in no time at all.
After about a month of ownership, I purchased a Celestron digital USB imager for less than 50 bucks and I can now view and photograph excellent images as well as create videos of anything seen through this microscope using my PC. The microscope comes with both 10X and 20X eyepieces as well as color filters (which I would love to know how to use if anyone can advise me how to mount them) and a fantastic X / Y micrometer type clamping device which allows one to find an object, note its coordinates, move on and return to it easily rather than moving a slide with your fingers and possibly creating a mess. If you are looking for a well made hobby grade microscope for a very reasonable price, this is it. Do not be put off by the fact that this is not a well known name brand.

amscope reviews: 3.5X-90X Stereo Zoom Microscope on Boom Stand + 144 LED + 5MP Camera

I have been using this type of microscopes for about 20 years from all different manufacturers. At work, I use
Scienscope and Luxo. When I decided to buy one for myself, I found Amscope. I was a little apprehensive
about buying one from a vendor that I have not heard of but I decided to try one since their prices were much
lower.
I am happy to report that the microscope itself is excellent. I can not really tell the difference in optical quality
from ones that cost 2x or 3x. The build quality is also excellent althought the Luxo that I use at work moves
more smoothly and feels definitely more expensive.
The LED ring light that came with the system is also excellent. The assembly instruction is poor but I didn't
need it since I basically knew how to put it together. It took less than 10 minutes to assemble it.
So overall, I would have no hesitation buying or recommending Amscope microscopes.
