This will be a fun new perspective in microscopy for me. Inverted microscopes are very expensive both new and used. Although it doesn’t quite provide the quality images equal to my other scopes, it is much better than I expected. It’s very light and someone suggested anchoring it with Velcro so it’s more stable while in use. I may try that.

The microscope for the price optically performs excellent. I already have an Omax M8311 so I can compare. Inverted microscopes can explore specimens in the Petri dish and this was the reason for buying it.I didn't like the limited range control of LED brightness - particularly when exploring specimens with low magnification. Despite setting it to minimum, it was still bright for my preference.Being proficient in electronics I made small changes around potentiometer 1k Ohm controlling LED. Now I can control the full range from completely dim to full brightness.The picture tells all. Add a resistor 1k as shown and change cabling between batteries and LED (else you would drain the battery despite the switch is off).I already have 25x eyepieces so I bought the set with just one eyepiece 10x. This limits magnification to 200x but for my purpose (educating grandchildren) is enough.

Purchased this as a gift for a very curious 7 year old. Was told that when he opened the gift, he hugged it and said that he has waited all his life for a microscope. Can only speak to his reaction and not to the quality of the product, but the child’s mother is a scientist and she seemed pleased!

Great for kids! Purchased for my 5 year old. Quickly became a hit with kids in the neighborhood. Comes with everything you need - learning guide with experiment ideas and tips, pre-made slides, batteries, tools to collect specimen, etc. The pre-made slides are fine, but the real fun/learning was the kids finding bugs, making crystals, etc. One product tip: the eyepiece arrived unattached and needs to be “popped-in” place. I was a little confused when I first opened (not a microscope expert!), but once assembled everything was really easy. Great value based on the fun/learning we’ve had already. Seems well built, so assuming we’ll have it for years to come!
