Reviewed By: Robert Bruce Thompson 
I ordered this microscope with the upgraded ASC objectives and the optional eyepiece reticle. I expected a "good Chinese" level of fit and finish, and was pleasantly surprised to find the fit and finish is up to Japanese/German standards, or nearly so. The optics are truly excellent, and the mechanicals are solid and smooth. This scope is superior to most scopes used in high school labs, and matches those used in most college and university labs. If you're looking for a microscope that your student won't outgrow all the way through university and graduate school, spend the extra money on this model. You won't regret it.
