Decent at lower mags.
For a beginner / student microscope, up to and including high school level, this is an excellent starter microscope with halfway decent optics and decent illumination at lower mag levels.

The problem is it simply lacks the LED power to give proper illumination at higher magnification levels, which get darker and darker the closer you try to get. I may try to stick a more power LED in it at some point to make it more capable at higher mag levels.

In all, it's decent. The optics aren't "pro-level", I've used pro-level, and this ain't it. You'll need to drop a few more dollars for that. But it's certainly better than an off-the-shelf kids microscope from the local hobby shop or big box store by an order of magnitude, and if you want to encourage a love of science in a young person, giving them this much more capable instrument would go a long way towards fostering an interest in the sciences than a junk instrument from a big box store, which would do more to ruin it than help it grow. I give it 4 stars, more LED power and slightly better optics would get it a 5.
