Some time ago I promised that I would write a short review about the microscope I use for entomology, both at home and when traveling. The microscope is not expensive and has a wide range of additional equipment that increases its capabilities.

Microscope Eakins, offer number on AliExpress: 1005004697867460

View of the microscope in the version that I purchased. 0.5x lens, 10x eyepieces, optical zoom 0.7x to 5x, LED illuminator powered by electricity, additional optical path to the camera, magnification 3.5-25x.

Available lenses: 0.3x, 0.5x, 0.7x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.5x, 2.0x (offer: 1005004612139910) Available eyepieces: 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 30x (offer: 32897906579) Choosing the right accessories allows you to adjust the magnification range to the user's needs.

The working distance with a 0.5x lens is 20cm, with a 0.75x - about 14cm and decreases as the magnification increases.

I also installed additional short posterolateral lighting, which is optimal for the mounting of Microlepidoptera. You can power it from a power bank, 10000mAh is enough for a whole day of work. In the field, this option is very useful.
