First, sorry for reviving an old thread but...

I was wondering how the Am-scope worked out. I have been reading this thread and almost sure I'm going to get the one the OP did.

I was wondering how it worked out?

Could you use it 'out of the box'? Or did you have to get attachments to make it work? ie.. wide eye piece's, light ring, ect..

Can you help me out?

I was THIS CLOSE to getting a Dino-lite micro scope at a coin show until the salesman kept blowing me off. I had cash in hand and he thought selling to people with cheack's was working better for him I guess and I walked out with out one.

I picked up a 'Opti-visor' so I could work hands free and the first time I used it and the images were 3D my thoughts went right to this thread and a stereo-scope.

I hope the OP is still around to help or anyone else that own's one for that matter.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Dar,
The AmScope trinocular stereoscope I purchased was a great buy. Everything needed came with it for viewing nice crisp views of my coins. Neatly, individually and securely packaged. Simple assembly and you are ready for many late nights of observation. Great quality product.

If you are planning to use your DSLR with it, you'll need the appropriate adapter for your camera depending its brand. AmScope can provide those too. I followed the advice of many fine and extremely knowledgable folks on this forum and purchased a set of Jansjo lights ($10 at IKEA) for more than enough and easily adjustable lighting. Getting the lighting right for photos is tricky and takes some experimenting.

Anyway, extremely happy with the my AmScope.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thank you very much for the reply!

That's what I've been waiting for to 'pull the trigger'.

Now, all that's left is finding one at the right price.

Thank you Very Much.

Good luck Dar.

I found mine brand new on ebay for $100 less than directly from AmScope. It was from a user name called precision*world. He shipped it super fast too.

Have a great day!

Thank you.
