Fisher s9007b in good mechanical condition.

Link to the specs, its pdf form: https://www1.fishersci.com/wps/downl...icroscopes.pdf

The microscope in your link is a junior high/high school level microscope. It is not too sophisticated and has no accessories. If you have little microscope experience this might be a good place to start, but don't expect to be able to expand on it. If you plan on pursuing the hobby I would recommend a good used microscope with more features and light control capabilities. g2b2

What features is this microscope missing, that I could find in another one?

Thanks

The weakest parts of this mircoscope are in the light control. It is a fixed intensity with limited control. There is a fixed NA condenser and a disk diaphragm with five apertures. If you are at all serious about this hobby you will out grow this microscope very quickly. The lenses are also of the simplest correction and combined with the quality of the glass performance will be limited. Is it suitable for a high school application ? Yes. Does it allow for expansion ? No. It all really depends upon where you plan to go with the hobby. g2b2
