Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used many microscopes in college and medical school, and for basic use, they didn't do anything this one can't do. Focus is sharp and smooth, and the controls for the xy translational stage works well. You can spend two or three thousand more dollars for a microscope, but you should put this one at the top of the list. Within one minute of opening the box, I used my Galaxy 5 phone camera and snapped this pic of the microbes on some old cheese.
