Review: Solid real microscope, not a plastic toy! - I can't give any fancy technical review on this. I can tell you, I am a mom. I have a teenager who really wants to get into the medical field. She loves looking at everything through a microscope. (she soon may have more microscope pictures on her cell phone then selfies!) I can tell you I spent literally months reading reviews of microscopes, checking descriptions, pictures, etc. I didn't want a piece of plastic that was going to be broken before the Christmas decorations were put away. I wanted a solid unit that worked well and didn't break the bank. She has no had this for two months and we are completely satisfied. The unit is sturdy. The controls are easy to use. And the cost didn't break the bank. Review: Amazing quality for this price - We bought this for my 9-year-old daughter and it was (and still is) a huge hit. The quality is excellent. We love the fact that you can power the light with batteries and go outside, or plug it in when you're back inside. The LED is very bright - when using the higher powered lenses, you can increase the light and still see clearly. Love it. ## Features - 360 Degree Rotatable Monocular Head - Five Magnification Powers up to 1000X - Co-axial Coarse and Fine Focusing - Mechanical Stage for Easy Control of Slide Gliding - Metal Framework and LED Illumination ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006FD5RQ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #542 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #12 in Lab Compound Monocular Microscopes | | Brand | AmScope | | Color | Black, Blue, Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 120 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 15"L x 10.4"W x 6.8"H | | Item Weight | 2.27 kg | | Light Source Type | LED | | Magnification Maximum | 1000 x | | Manufacturer | United Scope LLC. | | Manufacturer Part Number | M150C-MS | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | M150C-MS | | Model Number | M150C-MS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Objective Lens Description | Achromatic | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 15"L x 10.4"W x 6.8"H | | Real Angle Of View | 45 degrees | | Real Angle of View | 45 degrees | | UPC | 013964566598 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 110 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AmScope - **Color:** Black, Blue, Silver - **Item Weight:** 2.27 kg - **Light Source Type:** LED - **Magnification Maximum:** 1000 x - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** M150C-MS - **Product Dimensions:** 15"L x 10.4"W x 6.8"H - **Real Angle of View:** 45 degrees - **Voltage:** 110 volts ## Images ![AmScope M150C-MS 1000X Biological Compound Microscope with Sturdy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TfLWaM7uL.jpg) ![AmScope M150C-MS 1000X Biological Compound Microscope with Sturdy - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hBtgaJ1UL.jpg) ![AmScope M150C-MS 1000X Biological Compound Microscope with Sturdy - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uSmetLUDL.jpg) ![AmScope M150C-MS 1000X Biological Compound Microscope with Sturdy - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71o6DJe5qrL.jpg) ![AmScope M150C-MS 1000X Biological Compound Microscope with Sturdy - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+4VvpwPuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this microscope hook up to a computer monitor?** A: You can purchase an eyepiece with USB cable. This is the one I have. It works pretty well. Celestron Digital Microscope Imager 44421 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DVP7CE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **Q: Is the light bulb replaceable without soldering?** A: Yes, there's replacement LED bulbs for the microscope and it will not involve any soldering. **Q: Is this item made of 100% metal?** A: No some parts like knobs and gray strip on bottom of stand is hard plastic. It is a good miroscope for what I am doing! **Q: Can you see organelles?** A: I would venture a weary yes. I havent quite gotten to that point yet. But i have seen larger cells (bacteria and yeasts i believe) that have burst open or been crushed and have seen some of the structure inside. However I have yet to order stains, so I havent done much on that front. My scope came with dirty optics, but after a cleaning the 40x objective 25x eyepiece (1000x) pulls a decent image to the eye without immersion. Of course with immersion it is much sharper(photo quality. not perfect, but can see detail well with a T5 DSLR image capture). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid real microscope, not a plastic toy! *by D***S on February 19, 2015* I can't give any fancy technical review on this.

The quality is excellent. We love the fact that you can power the light with batteries and go outside, or plug it in when you're back inside. The LED is very bright - when using the higher powered lenses, you can increase the light and still see clearly. Love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for the money *by S***Y on February 4, 2014* I would buy this item again. The optics are good, not great, but we are using it for family education not lab work. For kids through high school for a home 'scope, this is an excellent value. I love the adjustable table and the light works well. The knobs are also smooth and seem to be the perfect sensitivity for my kids. ## Frequently Bought Together - AmScope M150C-MS Compound Monocular Microscope, WF10x and WF25x Eyepieces, 40x-1000x Magnification, LED Illumination, Brightfield, Single-Lens Condenser, Coaxial Coarse and Fine Focus, Mechanical Stage, 110V - AmScope BS-50P-100S-22 Pre-Cleaned Blank Ground Edge Glass Microscope Slides and 100pc Pre-Cleaned Square Glass Cover Slips Coverslips - AmScope PS25 Prepared Microscope Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 25 Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case Brown --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1154774-amscope-m150c-ms-1000x-biological-compound-microscope-with-sturdy](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1154774-amscope-m150c-ms-1000x-biological-compound-microscope-with-sturdy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
