- This is my experience with AmScope purchase which was disapointing. In the video I mentioned the downsides of my choice of scope and how it is going to be corrected in the near future.

Pal, I've been researching for WEEKS, and am HOURS away from buying (it's in my cart). Something deep down made me suspicious of this exact articulating arm in the exact place it failed you from just looking at the pictures. I kept researching trying to find anyone who would talk about it, as I know a thing or two about these arms from the videography world. Not a single person or review ever mentioned it. I swear if I didn't watch your video in the next hour I would've paid $300 right now and would've HATED this thing.Thank you!
Hey Zack I'm glad the video helped you make the correct decision before it's too late
Thank you for a absolutely fantastic product review. I am in the market for a scope and you video plus comments will no doubt help me make a much better choice. Thanks.
Glad it helped
Thank you so much! This is a great help. Sorry that you suffered so much frustration.
No problem John. I'm glad it helped
Thanks for this vid! I'm seeing it after all the others you mentioned!
Thanks for stopping by
Thank you so much! Glad I waited!

If you watch electronics repair people like Louis Rossmann, they explicitly say go for a simul-focus trinocular and also recommend the boom arm over the articulated as any benefits of the ease of movement of the articulated is negated by the fact the microscope head vibrates easily. The boom arm types are more awkward to adjust but keep the microscope a lot more steady. Sorry you never found this out in time.
I agree with you and him now.
So glad I found a Vision Scientific VS-5F for about $500 😁
I feel another problem is the articulation would benefit heavily from being bolted to the wall instead of on the table, it removes lots of vibration issues id imagine
@DissentingTirade I think that's a great idea. I might do that in the future.
The problem is they discuss the wrong thing. Vibration is easily mitigated by mounting on something like a shelf or nearby desk. I watched Louis, but assumed I'd just mount it off the desk. I would be wrong, and only this fellows video actually points out vibration isn't the only concern. Arguably, this defect is even worse as sagging is a gravity issue not a movement issue, and does not go away just being still
Louis Rossmann (great RUclipsr) goes through a lot of this stuff, and he recommends AmScope but with the boom and simul-focal, for the same reasons as in this video.
Thanks for the notes
I feel your pain, I bought the trinocular one too. Much too late now to do anything about. Nice Happy Children!
Did you try to contact them and explain the situation? They were helpful with me. Ask for a manager.
Thanks for advice. Greetings from México
Good luck
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I have no desire to purchase any of this but you get a thumbs up because I understand how so much deceptive and misinformation is out there
Thanks.
very helpful information -- thanks!
No problem
Good review of your microscope, I'm currently looking at the T490B to use for looking at blood, small insects etc. I'm sure the build quality is better than the models that you can freely move.
hi, find us on facebook
Good advice! Thanks
You are welcome
Thanks for posting.
You're welcome
awesome info.
Glad you found it helpful
That Is some good Info!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You!
You bet
I went for the Amscope trinocular (same you got since for occasional use I didn't have the budget for simulfocal, it's still fine to use) on a boom arm ... after checking a lot of YT videos. For the camera I settled on a Hayear, which has a very complete setup (SD, HDMI, USB) ... I even added a large zoom lens so I can use it independently as an overhead cam :D
The boom arm definitely has some advantages.
It's extremely stable, but you need more space so you can swivel it out of the way for storage. And never... ever... drop the base on your fingers or toes 😁
@@patrickcardon1643 yup
YEP, i have seen that through many years of youtube videos, they Allways leave out a certain step/piece of information. then you have to watch 20 videos to figure it out!
yup
I like the UHM350-11 from amscope. It is monitor only- no binocular. The lighting works well. Looks like they stopped making it but there is a UHM210-11 that looks similar.
I just googled that and man I really like it. it looks solid.
I'd rather pay an extra $50 for a Swift S41-20 than get a digital only one. I'm getting a Vision Scientific VS-5F for $500 though.
@@sethreign8103 When you use a binocular microscope do you get depth perception? It seems awkward to lean over the eye pieces but maybe there is a big advantage.
personally, I prefer O.C. White! not as cheap but worth it! you can get the trinocular with camera for about $3700, the typical boom stand which you can move forward and backward without the axis turning on you. I feel your pain on the AmScope! O.C. White PZ6.5 trinocular cam does not leave you with mono-vision and plugs into USB and you can just select it like another camera in your computer. I also like the .7X Barlow lens which allows me better visibility for inspection and soldering the new 008004 size components, no problem with the 01005's.
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna keep this note maybe for future upgrade of my scope.
You just saved me, was going to do the same mistake as you
Glad it helped
I bought an AmScope ESSLNB 40X-2000X and have not been able to see anything other than on it's lowest magnification setting. I'm not sure it's broken, or if I'm doing something wrong, but the manual is so bad I can't quite tell. Is there a way to contact the manufacturer for help, or do you know of any useful vids specific to this model? Thanks.
Yes they do have a phone number on their website.
thanks for the information, we have the same types of equipment 😂
Nice dude
I cant tell much difference between my amscope and some of the cheaper models out of china.
I think all are the same
Nice family
Thanks
The fact they charge so much for these things with this low level build quality is astonishing.
agree
my 2 cents :
between a stereo or a trinocular wihout simul focal, i would choose the first one :
-you'll never know when the mecanical inside the last willl break because you switch again and again on your camera,
-the stereo one is 100$ cheaper ? but you can find a mount for a smartphone to fix it on microscope (on one of the ocular)
i can't totally agree with you about not finding video about simul focal, it's just ,for the most part, they are not on electronic repair chanel ;) (or the info are find in 3sec of a 30min video)
and on electronic repair channel, they just say to buy this or that one (precisely)
for amscope ,in the sm series, the P is the key :
SM-3tp
sm-4tp
sm-8tp
have simul focal
valuable notes. thanks
buy a used or new ergotron monitor arm, then you can buy VESA Adapters, and get that mounted and flexible perfect. i probably should do a video on it, it works great! i have a laptop rigged up. also buy iFootage Spider Crab arms, they are the BEST Hold some weight and don't move.
making a video doesn't sound a bad idea. I think it would be a really useful one
Neuropean washers will make that. Grip stick they're very cheap at ace hardware in the drawer section
👍
a Bunji can support the head when linked to the boom without limiting articulating range.
Good tip thanks
The Vision Scientific VS-5F is a little more than $500 & is exactly like the one Louis Rossmann & Sorin use only not ridiculously expensive.
Thanks for the tip.
Just for one for £260 on sale thanks for the video
Enjoy it
I thought this was going to show bacteria and blood cells.
lol
i am regretting buying amscope..the worst microscope.
I wouldn't say the worst. You just get what you pay for.
Not a problem of scope or company totally consumer problem
How come they don't show the eye icon on their selling listings?
Agreed. 100% customer issue, do your own research and read the specs. Not all trinoculars are simul-focal. If it doesn’t say simul-focal….plus if your see the switch on the head you know it’s not simul-focal. And that’s the way Barlow lenses work. You can’t argue with physics. There’s a lot to learn with microscopes and the industry doesn’t help themselves.
@Markus how do you logically go from saying it's 100% the consumers fault then go on to say the industry doesn't help itself which suggests that it's partly the fault of the entire industry?
@@markc.5750if you’re new to something, you likely don’t know there may be advantages and disadvantages to product differences. There are several basic differences in how they work, but manufacturers often don’t articulate those differences. I do agree that Barlow adapters change the focal length of the objective. That’s their purpose. Giving more working distance is what he needed. And yes, it should be understood that it would make the scope ride higher. But you’d be surprised at how people don’t always think of consequences. I would just raise my chair.
