Not bad for a cheap one.
Wish I bought one for both eyes but other than that it works well and the feature to view on a computer monitor is splendid

it does the job.
1st impression, it will do the job.But I just got this microscope in with it's camera. It comes with 5 prepared slides. I am attaching a photo that I took from 1 of the prepared slides. This is the leg of a house fly using the 4X lens. 4x is the lowest power lens on the microscope.I am running this from my Linux Mint computer, using the 'Cheese' program. No drivers used.I'll update later.Ok. It's now March 22,2017. And I am making a slight update.Basically, added a photo from a prepared slide. It is actually 3 photos using the same area of the same slide, only using the different microscope lenses. The slide is of a piece from a Mature Pine Wood. As I said, it was a prepared slide which was provided with the microscope.I've discovered that optic magnification in the camera is very strong. You have a 4X, 10X, and 40X lens on the microscope, but you'll want to stay with the 4x or 10X lens when using the camera.In my case, I find it easier to use the camera with the computer to view objects. These images are 1280 x 1024 pixels. Focusing is the tricky part.Update March 26, 2017I just received an adapter for my DSLR. Here are some additional photos using my DSLR camera using the same slide and using the same microscope lenses. Images from my DSLR are 6016 x 4000 pixels. They also show the the edges of the adapter.You'll see that the camera which comes with the microscope has a lot more magnification.One downside is the angled neck on the microscope when using a DSLR camera. 1st time that I mounted the camera onto the microscope, the whole thing tipped over from the weight of the DSLR camera. I quickly realized that I needed to keep my hand on the microscope while the camera was mounted on it in order to keep everything from falling over.Update April 7, 2017I just corrected a typo and am adding a photo of the slides which I used in this review. It helps to know what the magnification is.(I presume that everyone will know the size of a normal microscope slide.)Update April 27, 2017I still like this microscope, but I wish it has 4 things.1st. A fine tune adjustment. You have to zero in on the focus. And sometimes it takes more luck then skill to get in focus. If you keep working at it, you will eventually get it in focus.2nd. A higher profile on the eye piece. If I use a DSLR camera with an adapter on it, the eye piece is has enough angle so that the entire microscope will tip over.3rd. A higher pixel camera. For obvious reasons.4th. A good specimen slicer. None comes with it.One other note. I have been using all 3 lenses on the microscope. It just takes some time getting used to getting the strongest lens in focus. (A fine tune adjustment would be appreciated.)

Good buy with the price
Good buy with the price. The nob for focusing is a little too tight (just one, no fine tune nob).

Stage doesn't move, but otherwise it's okay
It's just okay. The stage doesn't move, so you have to move the slides around by dragging them across the stage. Magnification seems decent though, so if you're looking for a cheap microscope that isn't a kid's toy, this one isn't bad.
