Which Microscope is better: OMAX or Amscope ?

[microbelover]

Hello!

 

I am a high school senior who fell in love with the subject of microbiology.

 

I had gathered the money ($400) and trying to purchase either OMAX or Amscope microscope on Amazon.

 

Which brand is better?

Can't really say what's better but if you ask me my opinion is the Amscope

Lab Optics, OMAX any other. I would not buy anything from Amscope- they are not a reputable company.

Hi from Down Under!

Is anyone familiar with AmScope's v-t720 microscope (plan optics and Koehler illumination)? I am interested in the quality of images using low power, 4x objective. In particular the uniformity of illumination and focus Would welcome any comments about the microscope or a similar type e.g.,T690-PL

View Solutions has both beat

I have a small AmScope (40X-1000X Portable LED Monocular Student Microscope w/ Mechanical Stage) that I use for simple hobby discovery and biology endeavors. Nothing professional on the biology end of the spectrum.

But, their stereo microscopes are great for micro/miniature PCB soldering and repair. General electronics fabrication for that matter. It's great for inspecting things such as connector pins, solder cups, tinning, etc. The price for them is great compared to other manufacturers, but you'll get a reasonably professional solution compared to cheaper Amazon solutions.
