Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The kit comes with eyepiece cups and a heavy, plastic dust cover. The alignment of the stereo oculars seems to be quite good. It's worth the full $1600 sticker price.

The amscope is every bit as good, if not better, than some of the more expensive olympias and bausch & lomb stuff. Amazon even suggests adding these two items to your purchase.

The boom stand is ideal for accomodating a variety of work set up. It makes working on small electronics a breeze. It is more than a casual microscope. Indispensable for modern electronic assembly.

The included led illuminator is an unexpected blessing. The intensity is controlled by a knob mounted on the side. The led ring light comes with a dimmer.



Cons

I don’t like that on my amscope device there is no where on it that shows that’s branded.

The amscope is every bit as good if not better than some of the more expensive olympias and bausch lomb stuff


Amscope is best adviser in this area


I used similar more expensive units in my university research career and if there is a difference i cant see it except cost

    Due to the bulkiness of this item and the application it is being used for internal lighting may be in order


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do engraving on a microscopic level and the lighting just was not suitable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The light itself has wiring that is always in the way

    This is a hands on type of job where my hands are on the work
