Review on AmScope SM-6TX Trinocular Stereo Zoom Microscope, WH10x Eyepieces, 3.5X-45X Magnification, 0.7X-4.5X Zoom Objective, Ambient Lighting, Clamping Articulating Arm Stand, Includes 0.5X Barlow Lens – Professional Grade by Ashley Ellis

This is ok for the price, not the best you can get. The optics are sharp and bright with no noticeable field distortion, and have a good general purpose zoom range that can be modified with additional optics in the future if needed. The only real complaint I have is that it has to come with a light, I went with the MIC-209 LED light which works great and is essential. It's needlessly complicated to figure out what kind of light to get, so I just went with the cheaper one. What I also don't like is that the mounting arm rubs and rubs, although it's not a big deal, it's heavy and wobbles or loses its position when installed. It's just that the fit and finish isn't great, but I think it's a trade-off for a lower charge for the scope. Overall I'm happy with it, doses the work, the optics are good and it folds out to the side, there's room for a camera so you're not cramped later, although again, figuring out how the camera is actually mounted is unnecessary difficult. The working distance is good for the electronics I use it for, but should be fine for almost any task you would use a magnifying lamp for. Also be careful, they require a personal signature so make sure you are home when it arrives.
