About Microscopes Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries. AmScope has been manufacturing microscopy equipment and accessories since 1996, headquartering in Irvine, CA.

Review: Great scope for the price - I am a medical technician and use a microscope daily to analyse many samples. I purchased this microscope for my children for Christmas. I am amazed at the quality and the resolution of this scope. There is a small imperfection in the high powered lense but I did not notice it until my 16 year old pointed it out. We have used it to analyse blood smears, bacterial smears, pond water and tons of other items. It is an Amazing teaching tool as I also homeschool and for the money is a great microscope. I use a Nikon scope at work and I would say it is almost as good as that.
Review: Great Scope - Heavy Duty - Quality construction - Received this earlier today and have been playing with it now for about 7 hours. I would note to others that there are several models of this particular scope on desertcart that differ mainly in the accessories that come with them. As a side now, while not listed for this scope, it came with WF16x eyepieces as well as the 10x & 20x listed which was a nice bonus. All in all I am very happy with this purchase. The scope is heavy duty, and in watching youtube video's from colleges to brush up on my scope skills, this scope functions the same as the olympus and other scopes they professors were using. Pros: *Mechanical stage is very solid and it's easy to get around the slide and note locations with graduations. Single axis/dual knob control makes slide navigation and focusing at the same time easy. *3 eyepieces included giving additional 64/160/640 and 1600 magnifications. *Heavy construction *Halogen Illumination (I was told by several doctorate level researchers to avoid LED at all costs *Swiveling eyepieces *Includes small amount of immersion oil, extra bulb and extra fuse standard along with storage bottles for objectives. Cons: *While expected at this price range, there are some spots visible at high magnification in a couple of the eyepieces, but they in no way detract from viewing. Not a con, but I kinda wish I'd spent the extra bucks on a trinocular for camera/real time/tri person viewing etc. While you can get the adapter to attach a camera to the binoc version, if I was to repeat I'd go ahead and get the trinoc version.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This microscope is a very good value.
*by R***E on May 21, 2020*

I have used various light microscopes in academic and research settings for 45 years. Now that I am retired, I needed a low cost microscope to quantitate parasite eggs in goat feces at about 100x magnification. A $55 toy microscope might work well enough for this but I did not think that I would be satisfied with that and I might want to examine animalcules at higher magnification for entertainment. The Amscope B490B microscope appears to be a good compromise for the factors of cost, optical quality, and mechanical stability for a microscope. Specifically, the packaging was secure, the components were clean, and microscope assembly was easy. There were no missing parts. It had a plastic dust cover, an extra illuminator bulb, a spare fuse, and some immersion oil. All components (coarse focus, fine focus, stage transit, objective turret rotation, etc., worked smoothly. The microscope body appears to be well built with fairly close tolerances (except, perhaps, for the slightly loose oculars). The microscope illuminator was centered and the illumination was intense (and adjustable). The objectives are reasonably parfocal. Image quality is good, especially for the price (compared to a $10 research grade light microscope system. The manual was written with some strange phrases and terms but the content was adequate for me. The attached image was recorded with an hand held iPhone from the B490B LM eyepiece.
