The Good
Easy to use LED/filter cubes which require no warm-up time and have significantly longer life with consistent lightning.
The Bad
Image quality is not the best, especially at higher magnification. For high throughput scan, 100X to 200X work the best. There are better high magnification objective lens available but we have not tested them yet.
The Bottom Line
Overall, this system works surprisingly well. We have an Olympus IX-81 Scan^R system for side by side comparison and the performance is generally comparable at 100X and 200X magnifications. Considering the price point, which is about 1/4 of that of the IX-81, this microscope is of good value.
