Quality of Binocular Microscoptes Scopes

[John Shuey]

Stan,

I just purchased the Swift M27 (10X, 20X and 30X).  While it focuses like a
cheap scope (it is a cheap scope), the optics are fine (in fact they are
great).

If you are thinking about purchasing, I suggest that you try
microscopesandmore.com.  The beat bioqiuip's price by about $100.
