AmScope B120 Series Student & Professional LED Binocular Compound Microscope - 40X-2500X Magnification - Includes 3MP USB Camera & Siedentopf Head

I have only had this product for a couple of days, and I am absolutely over the moon about it. It was very easy to set up, and the picture quality is great for the price! I was actually very pleasantly surprised with the camera quality.I had trouble setting the program up at first, as I kept downloading the wrong software (Oops, my computer is windows, not linux). I also had an issue where the camera preview was just black, despite the software recognizing the camera. I took it out, waved it around, and it came to life, so it very well might have been the angle I had it placed at. These were silly mistakes I made, so I thought I'd share here incase someone else made the same silly mistakes.It was definitely worth the purchase, and I encourage any beginner, college student, or even post-college student to get it!

I am very amazed of the build quality of this microscope. A standard hemocytometer fits perfectly on it. I have been using it for manually counting cells using a hemocytometer with the purpose of differentiating between healthy and dead cells with trypan blue dye. It is very good for this purpose. This microscope also comes with a small and protective dust cover. It is quite small but works well for my intended use. Cells are easily observable at 10X magnification. I have it on my lab counter top which measures 40 inches from the floor to the working space and you can still use it without any problem. This is in case you want to place it on a high bench working space. The LED light source will eventually wear out but I am planning on giving it maintenance with our department's yearly microscope inspectors.Overall, very well made and it rivals other competitive brands such as Olympus for its use in cell counting.

This is a great microscope. The movement stage moves smoothly with no backlash, the optics are good, the lighting is just right and adjustable. The digital camera works great. Easy to set up and use.

Outdated components and low quality software and resolution on images.Does a decent job if you use pitnyour eyes to the optics, but not if you are using the software to view the slides on the computer.That reduction in quality reduces the effectiveness as a teaching tool.

Works as described !

Using to introduce children to a more technically scientific world.

This seemed like a great idea to get for my HS biology classes. However, and very sadly, the camera software is NOT compatible with Chromebooks--you know, THE type of laptop that students have nowadays.Hopefully the company will make compatible software ASAP. Not doing so would only show that the company does NOT know its market.
