Budget estimation
- £200
The main issue for these microscopes is that they need to be shipped from the US at a cost of ~65GBP.
In addition, my one had been bumped, and had some superficial damage, so ideally a UK stockist of the above (charging US prices) would be 'moon on stick' good.
Specification
- 20x optical
- 4 objective lens including 100x
- 2000x max
