Small worlds! 18 May 2009
I decided to treat myself to a good optical 'scope that was within my price range - and this did the trick! Firstly, it was dispatched very quickly and the packaging was amazing! Polystyrene inside a wooden case. When I set it up and viewed the 'sample' slides/preparations that came with it, I could not believe the clarity of the image! I have used the immersion-oil on the 1000x plus magnification and it works great! I also bought a digital camera attachment with the help of the company; Apex Microscopes [who were most helpful, I would like to add]. From an engineering point-of -view, it is a work of art! All the controls are precision built and really smooth. I would highly recommend this 'scope or any other from Apex to the buyer. It is lab-quality available to the home-user! Cheers all!

Apex Researcher 28 Oct 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
A superb quality professional standard compound microscope at about a quarter of the price one would normally expect to pay. Without a doubt the best bargain I've had in years.

Very good quality and excellent magnification. The condenser can be modified by inserting filters of different colours (self made) but unfortunatly cannot be converted to dark ground which makes observing microscopic live specemins (pond life) difficult.

Extremely well priced and good microscope
I have never owned a microscope before except for an extremely old (as in not even built in light) one I got given by my teacher. And I bought this recently. Read more

Great for the price.
I've used stereo microscopes before but not compound microscopes, so this was a beginners scope for me. Seems to work perfectly well, and is a good buy for the price. Read more
