It does come with tons of accessories and most of them work fine except for the coarse tuning. It doesn't seem to work well and after multiple tries and even searching I have not yet been able to fix it. It seems like a great microscope but unfortunately arrived with some defects.

This is a really great starter/home microscope. It does not measure up to lab quality microscopes, which you should not expect at this price anyway. It is very clear and at the price has great features that set it apart from others.
It includes four objective lenses and three eyepiece sets which are great as is, but which can be replaced later with much better quality ones if you wish.
There are some sample slides to look at when you first get it before you start to explore. Has 2 light sources and it can be used with batteries (AA) or by plugging in to AC power.
overall very nice product for home use. Recommend.

This microscope is amazing for exploring tiny details! The magnification is super clear, and the LED lighting helps a lot. The USB camera is a cool feature for capturing what I see. Perfect for learning and experimenting!

With a school age kid who's going to have projects coming up, I wanted something we could use together for that, and just to learn with. This microscope is a nice step up from our old camera-on-a-stick setup, which barely had any zoom.
Though the manual does a good job if identifying parts and components, as others have pointed out, it isn’t great, so you might need to experiment or already know a bit about compound microscopes. It comes with a decent selection of eyepieces and four lenses, plus a bunch of useful accessories to get started.
The image quality is sharp, both through the eyepieces and on the computer when connected. I’d recommend skipping the included software download link and using your own - it’s recognized as a USB camera, so I’ve been able to use it with OBS and other camera apps without any issues.
The build quality is solid. It’s a sturdy microscope that feels well-made and stable, no worries about it tipping over. It arrives well packed in its own storage case with padding, and includes a dust cover.

Specifically bought this for the "5000X" magnification but the microscope does not come with "WF 50X" eye piece lenses which are shown and advertised in all of the pictures. Instead it only comes with "WF 10X" and "WF 25X" lenses, thus, the microscope can only reach a maximum of 2500X magnification. Again, I bought this microscope specifically for the "5000X" magnification, as the products description/title says it has, but does not.
Also, if you have a newer PC and plan on using the electronic eye piece, make sure your PC has a CD drive to install the software and a USB 2.0 port... My eye piece is rendered useless considering my MacBook (like all newer ones) does not have a CD drive nor USB 2.0 ports, only USB-C ports.

I stated that I wanted a “pretty good” microscope for Christmas. I told them not to spend thousands, but that they should be able to find one that would satisfy my wants for a few hundred.
We spent all weekend looking at different things! One of the kids said” This is just like the ones we had in science class!” Comes with everything you could need. The soft case is in the background along with slides and all sorts of accessories. Great gift for the curious in your life.

I use a microscope at work on a weekly basis to check particle sizes of our reactions. We have a very expensive microscope and this microscope is just as good at a fraction of the price. I get all the features of the more expensive microscope without having to break the bank.
The magnifiers produce great image quality and performs just as well as some more expensive options, for general use. The eye pieces are easy to adjust and allow for a uniform image with precise control. It features a diaphragm like aperatus that allows you to focus the light for a cleaner sharper view.
Amazing microscope on a budget.
