My twin 11 year old grandsons were so excited to receive their AmScope M-40 microscopes for their birthday. However, one of the cases arrived with a severely corroded battery pack and white residue was all over the case and the microscope. I contacted AmScope customer service and reported the issue. After sending photos of the batteries and case, it took the agent no more than a half hour to notify me that a new microscope was being sent. I couldn’t believe how fast and easy it was. The best customer service ever!

This is not a serious microscope, but you already know that from the price. It is however very workable, though you'll need a bit of patience -- while it's not going to fall apart it clearly skimps on build quality, so you have to readjust focus & recenter the slide very frequently. Change the objective lens, or simply change the focus, and you'll need to recenter the slide, which you have to do carefully, because the slightest weight on the slide table or stage throws it out of focus. Focusing itself requires a light touch due to the gearing used. The USB camera uses an uncommon cable, and the URL given in the manual to download the software is incorrect - you need to go here: amscope.com/pages/software-downloads . Their software isn't needed with Windows 11 however -- the built-in Camera app works just fine. Note that the regular eyepiece is a magnifying lens, so the camera will not achieve the same magnification. It may be necessary though -- using the regular eyepiece with the apparently uncoated optics was like shining a light into my eye, and I saw so many transparent floaters it made trying to see the material on the slide difficult. There was something [dust?] on the camera showing as a small circle slightly off center in the picture -- a cotton swab took care of that. They did go overboard tightening the 3 screws holding the black base cover in place, so it took quite a bit of force to remove them to install the batteries. It would have been very easy to strip the screw heads so please be careful. The plastic blank slides and slide covers were scratched out of the box, and those scratches refract the light from the LED.

My daughter is in this huge science kick and I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a microscope. This is awesome, it connects to your pc and they can see it directly on there! Came with slides pre-made and also some blank. Super cool and great value.

I compared this microscope with the Amscope M150C, which I also own. The photos include both microscopes side by side for reference (this microscope is the smaller of the two). For a gift, or a toy, this is an incredible microscope, and the kit includes so much. For a toy, the microscope is legitimately great quality. It will also work for homeschool purposes, but it is not as good in quality as the school quality M150C. Images through the scope are not as clear, especially at higher magnification. If this purchase is school related, I’d choose a better model. Images were still good, but not as large or clear, in my opinion. If it is for fun, collecting samples, exploring things under the microscope, or any science loving kid as a gift, you cannot go wrong.

This microscope was nostalgic for me, remembering how much I loved my 1st one. I bought it for my 7 year old science enthusiast Grandson and its a perfect starter set.Comes in a carrying case with everything in place (really appreciated I didnt have to assemble and/or put pieces where they belong). Its lightweight, the detailed instruction manual was also appreciated as it's simple enough he was able to read it on his own.It explains the function of each part of the microscope, care, usage as well as projects to do.I dropped one star because the batteries that came with the set are corroded, like they leaked (though thumbs up for including them). With this im hoping the other items ie. the "Shrimp Hatchery" is not old and unusable.Overall a great purchase! Lighting the path for Dr. Cole! 🤞

I am a Homeschool mom and we were very excited about this purchase. This is actually my 2nd IQCrew Microscope because I was going to return the non-camera version to buy this but gifted it to my niece. This one is so promising has way more then the les expensive non-camera in the kit.It has some nice slides, tools and a good intro for kids to microscopes. Today we wanted to look at some hair stands and pulled out the scope, downloaded software easily and connected to the computer. Every magnification had these bubbles of artifact. It is not the camera because if I take the camera off the scope and just flash a light on it the pic is clear. I wiped the lenses, sprayed some canned air and its still there. Now that is not to say you can't use the scope to view the slides provided. It just makes the assignments I planned difficult because is he seeing the item or the artifact. The artifact is a dirty lens somewhere in the turret or the lenses of the microscope. It can be seen with the regular eyepiece or the camera eyepiece. This speaks to an issue during the assembly process which is again disappointing.Not returning it although we are still in the return window because it makes my son happy to use it even with the defect.

I purchased this for my young cousins, and they loved it. The kid's friendly software is great and really sets this apart from other microscope kits. The kit comes with everything they needed, and they had a blast using it. Highly recommended!

Purchased for my niece (8 y/o) and nephew (6 y/o) and they loved it. Significantly higher quality and material than other kid's microscopes I've bought in the past. The software is easy to use and the kids enjoy taking screenshots to print out and draw on.Added features and quality are definitely worth the price - I highly recommend!!
