AmScope SE120 Portable Binocular Stereo Microscope, WF10x Eyepieces, 20X Magnification, 2X Objective, LED Lighting, Reversible Black/White Stage Plate, Track-Controlled Table Stand, Battery Powered

Unlike the electronic ones with a digital screen, one can see a clear perfect, UN-PIXELATED view of the item being examined. Stereo view is the only way to for for coin, crystals and general viewing. This works better than $100 mono microscopes. Glad I tried it. The super sharp focus is fast and easy to obtain and led placement is perfect. Overall durability and repeatability is excellent.I must confess that I have not tried the computer screen viewer adapter yet. Right now, it does what I need it to do right out of the box. Excellent purchase.

Here to order 2 more of these! First thing - these cost $50. So with that in mind, the optics are great, the light source provides ample illumination and the construction is excellent. They are not terribly sturdy, constructed all from airplane-grade metal with Zeiss optics, they never claim to be! As a lightweight, easy to use scope that we can lug through the greenhouse to check for insect pests, they fit the bill perfectly. At a price that allows us to be not overly paranoid about where and how they are used.

While it is very cool, very capable, and a very good value, it should be noted that the eye pieces are not fixed and tend to flex (eyepieces move apart) if you have a habit of resting your head on them. This requires a lot of readjustment.That being said,Great image quality, and loads of fun.

This has been a great scope for my wife’s botanical work allowing her to better identify rare plants.

I bought a lower power 5x eyepiece from ebay to use as sometimes I prefer lower power for stereo examination. Image is sharp and brite and good light source. Focusing of course not smooth for this price. Although all made of plastic lens seems glass and I bought this for portable use as does excellent job if you got to take in the field.

Bought one…. Bad connection and light did not work…. Got the replacement and put batteries in and with the ligh coming on or touching the switch one of the batteries got so hot in about 10 seconds that I could not remove with my hand….. had to pry it out with a screwdriver. Also the focus knob on both units runs off the end and will not come back up without grabbing the eyepiece holder and forcing it back to engage the cogs or friction unit to raise it back up to focus. Lastly one of the fixed lens on the main body had an imperfection like some goo or link was in the head piece….. I know these are not research quality units but my experience says that they are poorly constructed….. on the plus side… using a hand held led light I was able to look at some seeds and a sowing… optics were just fine…. Just got stuck at the bottom and to manually force the body back up. Buyer beware…. Spend a bit more and see if you get better product…. That’s what I’m doing.

Excellent optical quality. This product enables the parents and the kids to see a whole new world of bug butts, tiny flakes of your own skin, and delicate parts of flowers. Get one, and be the most popular and instructive parent on your block.....

A good basic plastic construction binocular microscope.with some limitations. Assembled, with batteries, it weighs 21.7 ounces per my digital scale. It does NOT have any eyepiece diopter adjustment so IMO should ship with one diopter adjustable eyepiece. My vision is quite different in both eyes. Can be manually adjusted for by raising one eyepiece slightly in it's mount, which is a snug friction fit for the eyepieces as delivered.It is quite sharp optically and the light illuminates the field of view well. Much better optically than a India made all metal 20X stereo microscope I bought years ago, still offered on ebay.. Comes with two alkaline batteries for the light and while NIMH batteries can be used they must be removed for recharging. With the 10X eyepieces the actual field of view is just under 10mm in diameter so you are not going to see all of a coin or stamp in the field of view. Only a zoom binocular microscope that can go to 7X or less will have the needed very wide field of view for such use.
