Please do not purchase this until the transmitted light issue is resolved. As other reviewers have pointed out (and I should have listened), the illumination at the base used for viewing microscope slides is very bright and does not diffuse well. It is simply NOT used for slides as submitted. Reflected light mode (i.e. looking at solid objects with a light source from above) is fine. A quick and messy fix to the problem is to place a few layers of tissue paper under the frosted glass diffuser at the base. This lowers the light level and diffuses the light so you can view your slides. This is a bit of a confusing solution as there is no control over the intensity of the light yet. The manufacturer should use at least a frosted glass diffuser that both reduces and properly diffuses the light. It is very desirable to adjust the intensity of the light. Don't buy until they fix it.
