I love this microscope. I picked it up to help me attempt to repair a few electronics. The circuit board went out in my pool and the replacement was over $700, so if I can fix this one and have a spare I'll be a happy man.Anyway, the microscope is well made. The screen is really nice. I like that it can take pictures and videos. Two of the photos in this review were taken by the scope. The base is heavy enough I don't worry about it turning over. The magnification is perfect for my needs, and it has plenty of light so that you can see what you are doing. The remote is a nice touch as well; it allows you to take pictures and video without touching the scope and potentially making the image to shake.Overall, I love it. I would definitely recommend it.

it's very shaky, almost impossible to get a good picture of whatever you are researching, and magnification is definitely not 2000 times - they are playing with numbers. For example, a 200x objective lens and a 10x eyepiece provide a total magnification of 2000x. However, it is not only magnification, but also resolution that indicates the performance capability of an optical microscope - and in this case this is a digital microscope. So true magnification can't be more than 800x. Amazon is full of these false advertisers, and no one is doing anything about it.

Performed better than expected. Amazing clarity. Don't hesitate to purchase.Fabulous menu to adjust photo settings. Even with 8x magnification the images remain crisp.File sizes for each image are in the 50 meg range, testifying to the advertised resolution. (Can easily reduce file size web when downloading to a pc/iPad/Mac.One tip. if you have an object with a multilayered surface, bring the camera to its full height and use the zoom. It eliminates depth of field issues when the camera is close to the object.I admire companies that work hard to produce quality products at a good price. This is one of them.

Overall, this microscope offers good value for money, but there are several areas where it needs to be improved. My use case was photographing an old microfiche which requires really precise focusing.Pluses:Supposedly this uses a Sony sensor at 52mega-pixels. At the time of writing this, that number is the highest I've seen for a 'cheap' Amazon microscope and the overall picture quality is good, except for noise which I discuss in the minuses section.The built-in battery is a nice feature in case you feel compelled to use this device away from a power source.The base-plate is a solid hunk of aluminum.All the cables you need are included.Minuses:When zoomed in, the edges of an image have a lot of noise and tend to 'dance' - not sure if this is from the sensor itself, internal noise being picked up or poor gain control. Whichever, it was a pain to deal with for my project and required extra effort in Lightroom and Photoshop to fix.The menus are annoying to navigate - there are lots of options which really require 4 arrow keys / OK / back. Instead we get 2 arrow keys and OK. That's it for both the front of the unit and the remote. Sure, it works, but it's just painful to use.Many settings in the menu are persistent if you turn the unit off, but a few are not (Automatic Exposure for example) and have to be set each time.The biggest pain is the focus control. You use the clunky ratchet system that supports the microscope unit for coarse focus / zoom and the focus ring on the camera unit for fine focus. The fine adjustment is way too sensitive and unsurprisingly has a ton of backlash. This makes accurate focusing challenging and is an area that could really be improved. Ideally, I'd like to see an Auto-focus or electronically assisted focus option and is something I'd be willing to pay for.

Works great so far. Will update as time goes on. This is a great microscope for the money. The picture is crystal clear and amazing detail on everything we have used it on. Would definitely recommend this scope for collectors
