I have been using this type of microscopes for about 20 years from all different manufacturers. At work, I use Scienscope and Luxo. When I decided to buy one for myself, I found Amscope. I was a little apprehensive about buying one from a vendor that I have not heard of but I decided to try one since their prices were much lower.
I am happy to report that the microscope itself is excellent. I can not really tell the difference in optical quality from ones that cost 2x or 3x. The build quality is also excellent althought the Luxo that I use at work moves more smoothly and feels definitely more expensive.
The 5M pixel camera that came with it is not very good so I called Amscope to see if I can return it. They issued me an RMA without any hassel which was a very pleasant experience. I can just use a Point-and-shoot digital camera above an eyepiece and the result was much better. The LED ring light that came with the system is also excellent. The assembly instruction is poor but I didn't need it since I basically knew how to put it together. It took less than 10 minutes to assemble it.
So overall, I would have no hesitation buying or recommending Amscope microscopes, just not their cameras.
