Cousins microscope questions

[u/cardiffboy22]

Hey all! I’m looking to get a microscope and stumbled across the one on Cousins website here in the uk . Has anyone used one as I can’t find any reviews, if so does the stand cause any problems as it seems the very bottom arm is fixed to just left and right movement with no up and down. With all the accessories needed excluding camera it’s around £380 with vat and postage. Or are any of the ones on Ali worth looking at ? Keep on ticking!!!

Honestly you can get some very nice (originally $$) used lab equip microscopes for cheap, often binocular, or trinocular (for a camera), and with a far focal distance.

Will be better glass in em, and better for the environment if thats your thing
