I've not used a microscope since I was a kid, so I'm admittedly not in a position to review this on a professional level, but if you want the opinion of a total newbie who's just diving in and seeing what it can do, I've been really impressed by it! It's an absolute breeze to set up and use, basically no setup needed at all actually, and the controls are really clear and easy to understand.

Camera and screen quality are both excellent and are a huge improvement over the more traditional method of looking through the lens instead, giving you an easier way of viewing. It's also clearly much better for group viewing, especially with the HDMI connection allowing you to connect to an even bigger screen (obviously perfect for classroom use). If preferred, you can also connect it to your phone wirelessly and use their app instead.

There's two lights built into it which are great for different situations, one on top shining down on the sample, and another shining upwards from the bottom which is better suited for transparent/translucent samples. Although I'm no microscope expert, the 1200x magnification seems like more than enough for most uses outside of professional settings, almost definitely enough for the suggested classroom usage at least!

I really can't see any clear flaws with this microscope, if you're looking for something more convenient than a traditional microscope with plenty of digital functionality, this is absolutely a great choice to go with!
