We were given a cheap $50 microscope kit for our daughters. They were so excited to receive it and play... to be suddenly dashed into frustration and sadness when the images through the microscope were so blurry as to be useless. Seeing their enthusiasm remaining to play with the plastic toy even though it could never do what they hoped, we decided to obtain a real microscope to connect to our computer to foster their love of exploration and science.This microscope is AMAZING. The images that came from it on the same slide that the previous $50 scope saw as blurry somethings were suddenly in sharp focus with amazing detail! Took about a minute to figure out how to operate the optics, zooming around until we were actually focussed on our slide instead of through the slide into the light source. Then pure beauty.The feel of it is hefty and quality. The control knobs (coarse and fine scale) for zoom and pan are magnificent and lab-grade. Installing the software was flawless and instantly started working the moment we ran it. I have no complaints, as I will be using this exclusively for broadcasting what we're seeing up on a large monitor so all can see.Ignore the users that complain about a lack of manual. The company sends a white paper that contains the weblink to download a thorough manual, and emailed me after the transaction to ensure I got the link.I cannot be happier. I feel like I just saved my daughters' interests in science and microscopy singlehandedly through this purchase.Spend the money, and enjoy the quality. You won't regret it.

I am a former junior college adjunct professor responsible for lecturing and providing instruction to students in the areas of biology, microbiology and zoology. I am also an environmental toxicologist and epidemiologist with 25 years of experience responsible for supporting projects for fortune 100/500 companies as well as governmental agencies.To adequately review and determine potential issues of human health and ecological adverse impacts, field chemical sampling of media and biological tissue species samples are often required. I selected Omax's Digital Binocular Compound Microscope to assist me in my efforts for the following reasons:1. Quality - As an environmental health consultant, I often have to demonstrate and identify issues "real-time" as well as via analytical extrapolation. A good digital microscope should be a high quality instrument-piece of equipment. I found my microscope to meet such criteria.2. User Friendly - The software with the digital microscope has to be user friendly, which is exactly what the Omax MD82ES10 has.3. Reasonable Cost- It was hard to resist the reasonable cost of this brilliantly design digital binocular microscope. To be honest, it was a bargain and an easy sell to my wife.If you are a professional scientist, college graduate or just a science buff, I highly recommend and suggest that you look into purchasing an Omax microscope for your needs.

I am an engineer (electrical) so I have used a microscope something like 10 times in high school. I needed one now to do fecal floats for our dogs and wanted a decent one with a USB camera attached. For the money this one rocks. It seems well made and is fully functional. Unfortunately, its devilry beat my slides, so I cant really test out the magnification/clarity, but my immediate impression is very good. One issue is the supplied software - the mini CD did not read in any of my computes and there is no apparent download link. I imagine that OMAX will not be easy to contact for support after a quick search for the software was useless. The drivers did download and install properly (MS Win 7, SP 1) and I found a free camera software (oasis scientific ehe_v2.exe) that works perfectly with the microscope. If you want a good microscope for cheap, I recommend this one.UPDATE: I got a nice email from the seller basically saying it is up to me to contact the manufacturer (OMAX) to have any problems resolved (like getting software that works, any problems with the scope, ect). If I cannot contact the mfg. they will issue a refund and take the scope back. So, like I said initially, good scope for the price, but good luck if anything goes wrong as you are on your own as far as I can tell. I changed my rating from 4 to 3 because of the initial lack of available customer support

This microscope is very well built and does it's job properly, the price is fair considering it has a camera built-in to connect to a computer for live viewing ! I waited many years to buy a microscope because of high price, but now was the time, and i recommend it to anyone beginning in that domain, i mean looking at blood samples, bacteria and so on.The only drawback is that you will have to buy glass slides and cover slips because there is none included.If you have more budget, look for a camera with higher resolution (megapixels), this one has only 1.3 MP and the picture is good but with a higher resolution the picture would havec higher details.Sturdy unit, good name, works well, easy to use or learn, fair price, software installation easy (windows 7,64 bits). Great !
