Not much more to say except it's capable of doing the basic work and far more for a very good price.
It is far better than what I had in school way back when.
Now it's more for hobby purposes and it's almost overkill for that. This should suffice for 90% or more users.

Beyond disappointed.
I've been wanting a microscope for years and finally took a chance on this one. Much to my regret.The only positive thing I have to say is that the case is nice.Pieces are missing. As far as I can tell, it's missing a lens, two cases of slides and a plug in. The instructions are also horrendous.When I saw the platform was adjustable, I was hoping that meant it would be possible to make room to look through a petri dish, not just the slides. But there isnt enough room to put a petri dish.Additionally, is the field of view supposed to be so tiny? (Second photo is phone in the mount. Second photo is phone zoomed in as far as it can go)Edit:Figured out the small viewpoint was a PEBCAM error and I got it figured out now. But pieces are still missing

1. The instructions are horrible. This is clearly a student/amateur microscope, meaning that anyone buying this kit or receiving it as a gift should be given clear directions. They made a feeble attempt to look like they did their due diligence by including one color picture with a few call-outs for different parts of the microscope, but when you turn the page to Operation Instruction, you’re told things like “…you should adjust the iris diaphragm of the condenser and different brightness of the light.”—If you aren’t familiar with microscope operation, you’ll have to do an Internet search for iris diaphragm, condenser, etc. because this guide never shows/explains them. Other sentences are just mangled translations, like “Don’t dismantle the instrument rashly besides the replaceable lest the correct position should be breached.” What????
I’m sorry, if you have an international company with addresses in Germany and the UK (as an entire half page of the instructions is dedicated to), surely somebody speaks English well enough to give things a once-over? It’s just lazy.
2. This is nitpicky, but since there are 3 boxes of slides and they all look the same, I wish they’d clearly labeled the ones that have empty slides vs. sample slides. It’s easy to take out the top box, see empty slides, and assume they’re all empty. Then you miss the bottom box that has prepared slides with feathers, wood, hair, etc.—if you’re getting this gift for a kid with a short attention span, make sure to point out that they can just fire up the microscope and start using it right away using the prepared slides! They did kind of phone it in on some of the slides, one of which is just a printed letter “A” and another is a dot of red paint. What about like, a bee mandible or something? I don’t know.
3. No enclosed guide/labels to explain what the parts in the kit ARE. If you don’t recognize the weird plastic doodad next to the power supply as a phone mount for clamping in your smartphone to take awesome pictures, you’ll seriously miss out!! Half the fun is taking pictures to record and share what you see.
N.B. although it’s never explicitly stated, the included microscope lenses don’t seem to be immersion oil friendly (and none is included), so don’t get it if you need it for that.
Okay, done with complaints! I wanted to mention a couple highlights they really nailed:
1. The zippered grey storage bag with handle is SO MUCH BETTER than the weak dust covers that come with most microscopes. There’s just no comparison—it’s much easier to store this way. If you legitimately have the table space to always have it out and will miss the dust cover, you might feel differently. For me, the zippered bag is much appreciated.
2. They even include the phone mount so you can take pictures with your smartphone. Not that it’s an expensive component, but normally it’s a separate part you have to buy. Having it included and easy to store in the bag is fantastic.
Overall, it’s an excellent kit for beginners and has pretty much everything you need, although it’s severely lacking the kind of support and instruction that beginners require. If you’re getting it for a kid, be prepared to help them learn how to make adjustments and/or find some YouTube videos.
