I wanted a "beginner microscope" that I was hoping would have the capability to add a camera later if I wanted to take pictures. Many similar trinocular microscopes cost from 3x to much more than this, so seeing the price, I thought I'd take a chance on this microscope. Very glad I did, as it has worked even better than I expected for seeing microorganisms, etc. I had one small piece missing from the kit, and Happybuy's customer support was also excellent in resolving the problem quickly and in a friendly manner. I rarely write reviews, but seeing the excellent support from the seller and also the quality of the microscope for the price, I felt these warranted a positive review.
