Not worth the investment

These eyepieces simply don`t perform .The image quality is poor and the focus adjustment is frustratingly difficult. The ONLY redeeming quality is their durability. i expected better from a brand known for their electronics. Save your money and look elsewhere for better microscope accessories..

Pros
  • Wide field of view for increased visibility
Cons
  • Some users find the magnification level too low for their needs

Mixed feelings on camera & photo

I bought an AmScope T490B-DKO and upgraded it with an AmScope 20X plan achromat lens and an AmScope A60X 60X achromat lens. I asked Richard (from the Revain community) if 5x would show more magnification than 10x, and yes, technically speaking you see more, but it's a much smaller field of view. I'm assuming the field is 20 percent larger, but half the overall angle. It's like looking through a tunnel. I almost sent it back but kept it for two reasons: big bugs (using 5x4, not 10x4) and those…

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Obsolete
