Review on AmScope-KIDS M30-ABS-KT1 Beginner Microscope Kit with LED and Mirror Illumination, Multiple Magnifications from 120x to 1200x, Sturdy Metal Frame and Base, Includes 48-Piece Accessory Set and Case in Black by Jesse Jewett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for compound monocular microscopes up to 12 years old

Based on the reviews left I expected more but was disappointed. I was very excited about being 30 when I remembered how awesome it was to see things under a microscope like I did in high school, but sadly it was disappointing. I followed the reviewers helpful advice to see the cells and of course started with the darkest/largest and I could see the cells but there was only a portion of the cells that wasn't terribly blurry. Everything seemed fine but the sight failed to focus. So it was blurry, and when I tried to adjust the scope's neck (without touching anything other than the grips as recommended), the entire scope's neck moved. Still can't get clear focus. I can see where it would be good enough for the little ones because you can certainly see the crunchiness of the cells but I wanted a clean crisp crisp look and this product failed. Disappointed but motivated enough to throw another pot to get a better one that meets my expectations.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Everything ok
