Lomo sf-100t stereo microscope - LOMO SF-100 Stereo Microscope (MBC-10) Ground

This is my first microscope. The optical clarity seems to be very good, and uniform from edge to center. The unit is also very sturdy and well constructed. The illumination system is a bit lower quality and has no variable power. It is best with the lower power settings. But it can be replaced with an after market unit. I want to add that Lomo has the best customer service I have ever dealt with. Two small parts were defective. I called and they sent out new ones within 3 days, no questions asked and I didn't even have to return the old parts! The scope is an unusually good value too.
Pros: High quality optics. Affordable price.
Cons: Illumination system could be improved.
