Help buying a compound microscope

#1 Post by Krs » Sun Jan 12, 2020 11:57 pm

We are a family of 3 that from time to time would like to investigate stuff under the microscope. Nothing serious, more like a on and off hobby.

I have a toy ~30Euros compound microscope and I want to replace it with something more useful. Price range 250-400 Euros

I will probably want a Trino since I have a Canon DSLR camera that I want to attach to it. (Already found a cheap 10 Euro camera adapter just to see what can be done with it)

For now I settled for a https://www.bresser.de/en/Microscopes-M ... scope.html found on Amazon.de for 340Euros.

Is there a similar alternative?
Are there any known issues with this microscope?
Is there an important feature that other microscopes have that this one is lacking?
