The package from the Czech Republic arrived here in Germany very quickly and well packed. Everything looks very robust from the outside, which is hopefully a trend that will continue on the inside. The solid mounting bracket has two 90° offset sockets for holding the upright bolt so that it can be mounted both vertically and horizontally. All 4 horizontal joints have a matching hole to lock them in place with the enclosed hand screws. Lever arm screws can be turned out of the way by pulling out their spring-loaded head without loosening its lock. The enclosed camera adapter has external threads at both ends in the standard C-mount size, at the base end with a diameter of 28mm (microscope side), and at the head end 25mm (camera side). The internal thread for the Adapter-thread on the microscope head is cut into a plastic ring with a smooth outer skin and an overall diameter of 38mm, which is inserted into a recess provided and secured by means of a grub screw on the side. After mounting the selected Barlow-Lens at the bottom it is adviseable to screw the zero magnification on top of for Protection. After installing the appropriate Barlow-lens to configure the largest working distance, I noticed that it was no longer possible to focus on both the camera and the optical image at the same time. I have not owned one before this microscope and cannot say anything about the differences in quality and/or comfort compared to higher priced models, only that it is very well suited for inspection and repair of electronics and you get things done with it.

First about my feelings before and after the buy: Initially I doubted to buy this microscope. normally I use my simple stereo binocular zoom for checking out failures or problems on pcb's. but more often I use the binoculars, more often I thought of buying something better. I saw this somewhere on youtube and thought this might be the solution. Because it was expensive I though, should I invest money for a thing that I'm not going to use that often (10 x in a month or so) but said, Bismillah and bought it anyway. I had this strange feeling about spending so much for this until the last moment. the package was arrived and I started to assemble it, the more I was busy the more I realized that this was a great expansion to my hobby and how nice it is to have it. after fully assembling, I started to test with the 0,5 lens, it was like, WAUUW, masaAllah it is great and then went to 2,0x lens then I thought I am very glad that I bought this. This is probably one of the best items I bought for my entire hobby for the last 23 years and I am very happy with it. Especially the lens quality, the clearity and the brightness of the light to see almost everything so clear that you are surprised!!! I will definitely recommend this to ANY one who is hesitating to buy for your job or hobby, now the facts: the microscope was well packed in styrofoam and the articulating arm also, the rest was like put in the box where there was a gap. led light, C clamp, camera and the 3 lenses where in a small box with foam but the USB cable and hdmi cable were loose in the box in a plastic zipbag. I had the feeling that they were good protected. package was a little dent but thats DHL not BG. a big chunk of styrofoam was broken but probably didn't effect the items. everything was nicely bagged. the microscope with the oculars and the arm nicely packed. The arm is very sturdy. There are eyepieces and they are very good. very nice to have them. Thank you BG, I am very happy with the entire set!
