Review: This is an AMAZIING piece of kit. Don't bother with cheaper models, been there, done that, sent them back, got a refund. - I have ordered several different microscopes al costing less than this one and have been extremely disappointed by them (and sending them back). But this one has made up for my previous bad experiences and I highly recommend that it be one you consider rather than cheaper ones that I guarantee you'll deem as false economy if you're wanting to see red blood cells and similar finer details . This microscope has been a great investment, promising 1000X magnification that is crystal clear, Do not be fooled by cheaper ones that offer that level of magnification and more, I have tried ALL of the models costing less than this gem promising 900X + magnification and have been appalled by the terrible quality of lenses used. The 360 swivel viewer is so useful, meaning that my son can also view specimens without disturbing them. This is one fine piece of kit that I will be keeping and enjoying, Beautiful metal microscope, as sturdy as it is great at what you've paid £85 to do. Would highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: One of the pictures indicates it can be connected to a computer, I assume via USB cable. Is that a correct assumption? If so , does the cable come wit**
A: Purchased May 2017: I made the mistake of assuming this had a camera with USB computer because of the product description. In my opinion it is very misleading. You're only getting a microscope, 1 extra eye piece, and an AC adapter. No other cables or slides included.

**Q: If my son put things like hair, or a penny, or grass under it, would he be able to see them? I know some microscopes have a top light for seeing these**
A: This is what the manufacturer states: This is a perfect microscope for students to learn science. It comes with full optical glass elements, metal framework, 360 degree rotatable monocular head, coarse & fine focusing, and LED illumination. It offers five magnification settings, 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X and 1000X. It is an ideal microscope for home school or for students from elementary to high school. It is also an excellent instrument for hobbyists.Features :A Great Affordable High Power Student Microscope with Coarse & Fine Focusing45 Degree Inclined 360 Degree Swiveling Monocular Head with Locked-in EyepieceBuilt-In Contemporary LED IlluminationPlain Stage with Clips and Stain Resistant FinishFully Coated Optical SystemHigh Resolution Offering Sharp ImagesFive Levels of Magnification: 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X and 1000XSingle Lens Condenser and Disc DiaphragmFocusing Control Knobs on Both SidesFull Optical Glass ElementsPrecise Ground Glass LensAll Metal Mechanical ComponentsSolid Metal Frame with Stain Resistant Enamel FinishManufactured under ISO 9001 Quality Control StandardExcellent Five (5) Year Factory WarrantyUnbeatable low price Guaranteed or the Difference Back!Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back!Specifications :Head: 45 degree inclined monocularEyepiece: WF10X & 25XObjectives: 4X, 10X, 40XCondenser: single lens with disc diaphragmStage Dimensions: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2"Illumination: LEDPower Supply: 110V/60Hz

**Q: can this see sperm?**
A: Yes, it is. You need 100x to see movement in general and 400x to see individual sperm. But, you will not be able to see great detail such as morphology, which required 6300x.

**Q: Is the LED light dimmable?**
A: Yes. There is a dial near the bottom.

Good microscope for a hobbyist or student. Great quality. Easy to use. Brilliant product for the price that you pay.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice microscope, but there are even better deals.
*by E***I on 24 May 2020*

The AmScope M150 is a good microscope. After having had a chance to use it for a while and compare it with others (like the Swift SW150 and the Apex Practitioner) I would suggest spending a few more bucks and getting one with a few more features - like an proper condenser with aperture. The Apex Practitioner is somewhere around the £120 mark and has both these features, which can give you better control over your final image. The M150 (and the SW150) have a totally useless rotating plastic disk that does absolutely nothing - you can ignore it when it comes to improving image quality. So you might as well spend a bit more and get a condenser & aperture and a professonal quality mechanical stage. You might not know what these bits are at first, but you'll be glad you paid the extra in six months time!
