The solid and robust design, I can confirm. The electrical installation makes a good impression. The small lamp illuminates all objects good. It should be mentioned even the field of view, which is about 10mm. The magnification 20x is sufficient, in my view, for private use better than high-magnification devices without the consequent need to elaborate lighting. The only disadvantage is probably for cost reasons straight tube. After prolonged use should be the whole microscope tend slightly forward or take a lower table. The price / performance ratio is in order.
