</p>AmScope Binocular Reversed Stereo Microscope 5X-10X-15X-30X Review
I use research-grade microscopes in my work and bought this economy model for home use for looking at bugs and pond-life. The microscope was delivered promptly and well packed. Overall I was quite impressed. The image was sharp and showed no noticeable color fringes or distortion as found in "toy" microscopes. The instruction booklet was generic and did not cover this particular model (although principles were the same). This model is described as "reverse stereo" which means the image is right side up and moves in the same direction as the object. Variable magnification was achieved by rotating the objective turret (1x and 3x) and changing eyepieces (5x and 10x). The latter needed a small crosshead screwdriver which was not supplied. Another tool was supplied with no description which might be for lifting the bulbs from their mounts. Both top and bottom bulbs (12V 10W) got very hot in use, so pond water samples would quickly warm up. There are no condenser lenses associated with the light sources so they illuminate an area much bigger than the observation area , but they are bright enough for viewing. The field of view seems smaller than other stereo microscopes that I have used (20 mm for 10X magnification) and the eyepieces have to be close together to get a satisfactory stereo image (may be a problem if you have a big nose!). The rubber eye guards provided were a little too big to get the proper eye to eyepiece distance and so further reduced the field of view - they are not necessary. However, all these quibbles are minor compared with the basic quality of the image. It was a delight to watch Rotifers swimming between strands of Spirogyra in 3 dimensions. I would rate it 5 for value-for-money and 3 compared with top grade microscopes - hence my overall 4 rating.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "AmScope Binocular Reversed Stereo Microscope 5X-10X-15X-30X" are high quality item.
