This scope has been excellent. It came in secure packaging from Amazon, each eye piece and lens was well packed inside of it, and everything arrived promptly.
I had read the last reviewers post about difficult seeing things above 600x, but like the comments say underneath it, you have to use oil at 1500x. The lens piece actually says "OIL" on it so you don't get confused.
The 5 pack of slides was fine with it, and I also picked up a 25 pack as well to go with it. They all look great at even 1500x magnification. I've only done minimal experimentation with making my own slides (cheek scrape, blood, etc) and it's easy to do (You may need to get a few extra liquids to get the right contrast to your sample).
This scope is not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for when it comes to optics of any kind. The controls are really easy to use on it, it's easy to fine tune, changing slides is easy, and there's a nice hard stop so you never have to worry about sending your longest lens through a slide on accident ;)
 Good microscope for the price March 30, 2009

I paid around $520 for this microscope. It is decent and the built in lighting helps. I'm also glad it came with a spare lamp bulb, dust cover, and five prepared slides. The images are clear using the 10x and 15x eyepieces --- however at 600x, things start to get blurry but still decent ---at 1500x - forget it, unless I'm using this thing wrong (I am new to using a microscope), it is too blurry to really make things out. Sometimes I can make things out a bit, but things are barely visible at this level. It is a sturdy microscope and seems relatively easy to use. - Oh one of the five prepared slides it came with was broken; I didn't bother to ask for a new one. This is my first microscope that I bought for personal research as a hobbyist, so I don't have anything to compare with but have been happy with it so far.
