AmScope B120 Series Student & Professional LED Binocular Compound Microscope w/Siedentopf Head, 3D Mechanical Stage & Optional Digital Camera

We got this as a replacement for a microscope we ordered as part of a kit for my daughter’s high school biology course. The old microscope wouldn’t let us see much, it was a little difficult to work with, and we began to not like doing the labs. With this, she’s seeing everything she needs to see and is thoroughly enjoying biology now! Thank you!

Great Microscope for homeschooling families

The B120 is a great microscope for homeschooling families. As a mom that has a bachelors in biology I have looked through a great many microscopes and this one is easy to use and reminds me of ones I used in college. The only thing that disappointed me after getting it out of the box and using it for the first time was that neither of the eye pieces had a pointer. This model was marketed as for students but I can’t check their work if they can’t point to the structures we’re looking for. Considering a new eye piece with a pointer is over $50 when I’ve already spent a decent chunk of change on the microscope itself is aggravating. Had I known it didn’t include a pointer I may have looked for a different option or possibly added the pointer eye piece to my original order. Otherwise this piece of equipment is very well made.

Great Microscope!

I bought this for my teenage kids to keep engaged with their love of science. It works great and was easy to use. The camera sofware works well with our PC but we did have some problems that we are yet to resolve with our Mac.
