Motic Microscope?

Post by TortoiseAvenger »

Hello:

I've been looking for a microscope to buy on eBay, and I have a few options... old Olympus and Zeiss scopes in the $800-$1000 range.

Due to some deals I have with Amazon, my budget is higher there. I could spend up to $1,600 on a scope. I'm looking at some of the Motic scopes they have available, notably, the BA310 and BA210. Does anyone have any opinions on these scopes or on Motic in general?

From what I've heard they manufacture some Zeiss lenses, and generally have a good reputation. I like the idea of LED lighting and having a newer scope, but I don't want image quality to suffer appreciably.

Any wisdom you could share would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nicholas
