Would a 34 Year old Olympus microscope be better then a new Amscope?
The Olympus is a CHC (the mirror CH-MM or the CH-LSK 20W with a simple illumination device)
The Olympus has,three Olympus objectives 60/0.80/0.17, 40/0.65/0.17 & 10/0.25. Will focus magnify properly when the knob move between 0-200 division. All the knobs work, it needs cleaning as there is dust inside.
The Amscope specs are here:
