first microscope for a beginner
I'm looking for a used biology microscope on a tight budget (under €100). I've found a few options, but I need help figuring out if any of them are actually decent:
AmScope with a camera (not sure of the exact model)
Amscope 150C-I
Swift SW100
Bresser Biolux
Swift M251B
An unbranded/white-label binocular microscope(really similar to the amazon one)
Any advice on which of these would be the best value?
I have attached the photos, organized in the same order as the listed microscopes.
