    Customers are mixed about the focus of the microscope. Some mention that the fine focus adjustment is coarser than on better scopes, requiring a more delicate touch. They also say that the focusing is smooth and precise.

    Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the microscope. Some mention that the stage adjusts smoothly and the X-Y axis adjustments are much smoother. They also say that the fine adjustment capability is very durable, while offering easy and accurate slide adjustments. However, others say that it's a little trickier to adjust between users, the eyepiece diopter only adjusts so far, and the Interpupillary Distance is impossible to adjust.

    "...eyepieces with both eyes at the same time and their very minimal adjustments do not change that...." Read more

    Good first microscope
    3 Stars
    Good first microscope
    For the price this is a great microscope to get. Just be aware at 800x - 1000x you will need immersion oil to get good resolution (don’t use immersion oil on your 40x objective though!) 2000x is merely a zoom and doesn’t provide further resolution.For anyone wanting to look at microbes in pond water or at cells 40x should be the max you have to use and it is perfectly fine for that.To take pictures I would recommend getting a phone stand or a clip on adapter.For experienced microscopists, I don’t recommend this product. You are unable to adjust it to reach full Kohler Illumination so it would be wise to seek other options that allow those adjustments.Overall this is a solid product and great for a gift for a curious person.

    Reviewed in Mexico on March 18, 2021
    Es muy compacto, los materiales son buenos, muy pocas partes son de plástico, la óptica está bien para ser de un microscopio de menos de 300 dólares. Una queja que veo es la ausencia de un instructivo, pero este se puede descargar del sitio oficial del fabricante. Es una opción económica para aficionados, técnicos laboratoristas o profesionales de ciencias biológicas o de la salud. Con este microscopio se puede observar prácticamente de todo, lo he usado para observar microorganismos, tales como Bacterias, Hongos, Protozoarios etc. El único inconveniente que tengo es el desconocer dónde puedo conseguir refacciones en caso de que termine la vida útil del LED.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2016
    Awesome microscope! I made my own darkfield by cutting a piece of clear thick plastic the same size as the green filter a I glued a 10 cent in the center and inserted it in place of the green filter in the filter holder and it works, so I am glad that this microscope has a filter holder. Making these darkfield patch stop filter is easy and fun to do as an experiment. Google "DIY DIC filter" and you will find plenty of references how to make such filter.

    I have also order some COL filters from ebay and this give the similar effect as with DIC, which give depth to the microorganisms as shown in my attached photo of a Closterium algae taken with the 20x objective and my little DIY DIC filter. The picture was taken through my cellular phone so not a very good one.

    The M82ES is bright and easy to use. It came well packed and required minimal assembling, which was only to put the base of the eyepiece in place and tighten a little screw, then to insert the eyepieces. Everything else was pre-assembled. I was afraid that the inter-ocular distance of 55 mm was not going to work for me because I am a small person with a small distance between my eyes but it still work (although 53mm would be best) at 55 mm and watching the microscope with a binocular is so much easier on the eyes than with my previous monocular! I will order the eye cups as it will make viewing even easier. The microscope only come with a thin plastic dust cover so I will order the vinyl carrying case to protect it.

    Although I like this microscope a lot, if I was not on such tight budget I would have bought the Omax M8311 trinocular (363$) instead because not only does it have a dedicated port for a camera, but it is much more upgradable. My only complain with the M82ES is that it does not have a lot of possibility to upgrade. There is a darkfield condenser available but no phase contrast or no Kohler either. For anyone not wishing to have these options in the future, then it's not a big deal, but if you wish to have a microscope that can be upgraded and grown with you, this one is not the best. Also the M8311 has an interocular distance of 48mm to 75mm, which is much better than the 55mm of this microscope. 55mm is ok for most adults but I suspect that kids would have a bit if trouble with this.

    Lo compré en oferta hace un tiempo (2020) y pensé que no duraría mucho, pero hasta el día de hoy (2023) sigue funcionando y al 100. Los objetivos son de buena calidad e incluso puedes observar bacterias y otros organismos que requieren los objetivos 40x - 100x. Se compara con los que hay en mi Universidad pero a la fracción del precio. Lo único malo fue que el aceite de inmersión se cristalizó muy rápido, entonces tuve que comprar otro al mes que me llegó el microscopio.
