Terrible Addition to Microscopy Setup

Through trial and error, I found that the AmScope ZM05 Barlow significantly reduced image quality and had very minimal magnification capability .The only pro is its compact size. However, the cons far outweigh the benefit, making it not worth the investment. Disappointing..

Pros
  • Increases magnification potential of microscope.
Cons
  • Reduces field-of-view.

Excellent Barlow lens also suitable for Olympus sz40 series

Fantastic lens, the workmanship is first class and the transparency of the lens is superb. Although they are designed for the Amcopes series stereo microscopes, they are also ideal for the Olympus sz 40 series stereo microscopes.

Pros
  • Microscope accessories
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared
