Cannot focus properly. Stages goes down the minute you stop holding the focus knob. I have used microscopes as a scientist for many years. I know that a good microscope can be very expensive, so I had low expectations for this one. I am afraid to say this microscope was completely unusable. The focus knob does not lock the stage in place, so the focus plane keeps changing as you try to take a picture. The screen resolution is also very poor, making it almost impossible to properly focus when using higher magnification objectives (thinner focal plane).

I bet it…
Gets the job done. Excels in the “Field”. (Battery Operated Optional).It does a great job, has digital storage, but there is an issue when viewing on a computer monitor.

But, performance is defined by application. It is sturdy and portable.It is useful to see if there are microbes in my compost tea…
