Help needed. Want to buy microscope for my girlfriend

[s1blyx]

Hi,

I'm a newly registered member looking for help.
My girlfriend's birthday is closing in and I know that she wants to own a microscope. But I don't know where even to start.
I don't want to get her something... just because it's cheap, but I would also like to be within 350€. I can stretch a bit more if it's really worth it. I'm from Europe

I was looking at: AmScope T120C - https://amscope.co.uk/collections/all/p ... ical-stage
It's 311€.

Another one that I've stumbled upon is Swift SW380T, but I can't find it anywhere available for buying.

I hope that someone here can help me out.

Maybe look around for a zeiss standard. I could pretty readily get one stateside for that much and it's much more romantic

Both Amazon uk and Amazon germany carry it.

You might want to ask her opinion on which microscope she would like. If she has some experience then a used quality microscope is usually preferable.
