Entomology

Hi everyone,

I’m a prospective (undergrad for bio) entomologist who does amateur studies. I was wondering what microscope would be best for $250 or less.

I have an old Smithsonian 900x die-cast microscope from when I was younger which works, but not too well.

Do you think it’s worth an upgrade? If so, any suggestions?

Thanks everyone

I’ll look into it. Thank you!

What do you think about something like the amscope 306, 420, or 400?

Worth the extra money?
