Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this to check fecal samples for worm eggs in my animals, to assess wool fiber quality, and to identify bacteria and fungus in cultures. The scope is very solid, all metal, with an adjustable light, no play in the focus adjustment, and sharp optics. I'm amazed at the quality for the price. I chose this over the slightly cheaper My First Lab Duo-Scope, which features a second top light source to serve as a dissecting scope. Although that scope is also highly rated, this one includes a 25x eyepiece to allow higher magnification.
