Review of the Woehrsh Compound Binocular Microscope, 40X-2000X, Double Layer Mechanical Stress Table and LED Illumination Microscope for Adults, Student Laboratory and Adult Microscope This is a much better microscope than the monocular I had over 50 years ago. Precise control of slide/sample positioning is a real advantage when using a microscope. You place the slide on the fixed side, close the spring-loaded clip on the slide, and turn the two-dimensional motion control knobs (front-to-back and side-to-side) to bring the specimen on the slide into view. This feature is one of the reasons why it's a bit more expensive than comparable options that don't have this feature. This is a neat feature, and beats trying to center the sample by moving the slide with your fingers (the less you have to touch the glass, the better). The better professional microscopes move the entire stage as well as the slide, but this works well. The scope has two light sources, one above the stage and one below the stage. Both are independently adjustable in on/off and brightness. These are LED lights and can be battery operated or connected to a USB power source or USB adapter. There is no mirror light option. The lamps should be interchangeable if necessary. The optics are good. The calculated magnification is correct, 40-2000x. The 2000x magnification setting (the 40x lens and WF 50x eyepiece) is surprisingly not bad. At higher magnification the sample appears darker and less clearly resolved, better views at 500x magnification. I like the WF eyepieces best and I plan to supplement the supplied eyepieces with a pair of WF 20x or WF 25x with one of them dioptic (adjustable) so I can adjust it to the visual differences of my two eyes. This is a disadvantage of the optics that come with this scope. You can adjust the interpupillary distance, but not optical differences in your eyesight. This is typical for riflescopes in this price range. The fact that there is no eyepiece in the 20x range is an opportunity to fix this problem and add a magnification range. Overall quite nice, as I said, much better than the microscope I had years ago and also better than the ones I used in high school years ago. My star rating is based on this statement in the description: "It is suitable for student education, a gift for children, elementary science exploration and DIY experiments." For these purposes, this scope is ideal. See attached photo of a pre-made slide of a honey bee knee taken with my phone through the microscope at 10x and WF 50x settings.

Desempeña perfectamente la función para la que fue construido

My son loves it so far.

As a lab tech, I was pretty surprised of the quality. It is actually made of some kind of metal. It’s not as heavy as hospital grade but it’s still pretty sturdy. The lens look decent. I like that you can connect this to a monitor. It actually has immersion oil provided as well. The forceps feel pretty strong too. I like that it includes slides and glass covers. Although it would have been neat if they provided some stained slides. I would definitely gift this to someone who is into science.

I got this microscope for my 15 year old son for Christmas. He loves it and so do I.The microscope can run on either the electrical cord provided or three AA batteries. It has bottom and top light sources. The eye pieces are adjustable for different users eye width and the whole top can rotate for easier viewing. The stage can be adjusted left to right and front to back.It only comes with two prepared slides but has everything you would need to prepare your own slides and samples and conduct your own inquiries. My son has a case of 25 prepared slides that work great with this microscope.All of the experiment supplies are housed in a sturdy box and keep everything together. The main case that holds the microscope and all accessories seems sturdy and really holds everything snuggly in place when in transit.The phone adapter works perfectly and suction cups to your phone. It really helps for many people at once to observe the specimen on the slide and makes it easier for the viewer to take notes on what they see.

ordered this to replace one my youngest son had dropped (more than once). They're a bit older now and I hope we'll be more careful with that. I originally got a microscope when my boys were distance learning at home during the Corona crisis. The purchase was definitely not part of the curriculum but they/us had so much fun! They are both visual learners like me. I always enjoyed science/biology at school so I was probably more excited than they were. This works just as well as our old one (which cost more), except the body doesn't shake and the lenses aren't scratched, at least not yet. We recently removed a tick from our dog and decided to look at it under a microscope - see image. If you've never done this before, I highly recommend it! You can see the blood pumping through the body and all. It's a bit gross and not for everyone I know! It takes a little getting used to at first, especially if you haven't used a microscope for a while, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. In my opinion the quality is really decent for the price and it comes with some 'extras' too. The magnification works well for most things and I find the resolution quite clear. It has multiple light sources, but placing it in a well-lit spot also helps. The case is mostly made of metal and seems relatively robust. The buttons for moving the sliders back and forth aren't as smooth as I'd hoped, as they occasionally get stuck, although that wasn't a major issue. I wouldn't expect lab quality as it's definitely more of an entry-level microscope. I probably would have given it four stars if it was more expensive.

It’s my 1st microscope..so I don’t know much about it at all but it’s nice. So far I looked at parasites in my aquarium filter and parasites in an raw oyster. But I don’t like the way they used word play with that “connect you phone” thing making someone that’s not paying attention think they mean “connect “ as in Bluetooth… tricky tricky and he cd rom was broken

My daughter was so excited about this microscope! A chance for her to see every day things up close, and clearly, has been awesome! It is definitely well made and sturdy- stout even. The case is fantastic and really well lined to keep it safe!

got this microscope for my 15 year old son for Christmas. He loves it and so do I. The microscope can be powered using either the included power cord or three AA batteries. It has light sources below and above. The eyecups are adjustable for different eye widths and the entire top can be rotated for better viewing. The stage can be adjusted left to right and front to back. Only two prepared slides are included, but everything you need to prepare your own slides and samples and conduct your own research is included. My son has a box of 25 prepared slides that work great with this microscope. All experimental equipment is housed in a stable box and keeps everything together. The main case, in which the microscope and all accessories are located, seems stable and really keeps everything in place during transport. The phone adapter works perfectly and sucks your phone. It really helps many people look at the specimen on the slide at the same time and makes it easier for the viewer to take notes on what they see.

This is my first binocular microscope and this set offers everything for beginners. I am very excited to see the tiny objects up close and fine. Overall, I think it's a great entry-level binocular microscope and the price is reasonable.
