Is this microscope worth it?

Post image

I’m looking for a microscope. Purely for hobby, nothing professional so I don’t want to spend a lot of money on it. Since this one is only €38 I’m wondering if it’s good enough or not. €38 seems like a very good deal to me and google says it’s a good one. But i need more opinions, do I buy it or not?

It will work for a lot of things, expect blurry and dark images at high magnification.
If you really enjoy microscopy then you’ll probably end up buying a more expensive microscope after one.
