AmScope - 7X-45X Simul-Focal Trinocular Zoom Stereo Microscope Head - SM745NTP

Very cost effective

Especially for the price, this is an excellent microscope with surprisingly good optics. Used with a .5 Barlow for electronics work, it's a game-changer. Without the Barlow lens, the working distance is about 4-inches, which is a bit close for soldering. The .5 brings the lower magnification down to a very useful 3.5x, while also increasing the working distance to about 8-inches. The eyepiece diopter adjustments are enough to compensate for the rather large difference between my nearsighted eyes, so I can use this with or without my glasses. However, because the eyepieces used on the SM745NTP rotate to adjust, eyecups have to be re-positioned after an adjustment.My only (minor) criticism is that the camera port tube-adapter is difficult to adjust and to lock properly, and it allows the camera to rotate. However, there are compact .35x & .5x (for 1/3" & 1/2" sensor size) adapters available which will fit between threaded c-mount cameras and the non-threaded microscope tube sockets on newer AmScopes available from some Hong Kong and Shenzhen sellers through eBay and Aliexpress. (Hint: AmScope should inventory them.)

This is a great microscope. The clarity is incredible! The eye pieces with this one weren’t that great and I had to use the ones from my other Amscope, I got this one because it has the ability to use the camera and both eyes at the same time due to being simulfocal.

microscope doesn't seem to be original as it doesn't have an AmScope logo anywhere, nor does the manual have an AmScope logo... I'm very disappointed, totally dissatisfied, don't recommend it....

Lo mejor que he comprado para Micro soldadura.
