This microscope is neat, but it needs to be used with the naked eye because the cells are almost impossible to see individually. Point this out to those using a PC or the image will be lost. Ultimately, it has a strong zoom, though not as strong as a digital zoom. The seller delayed shipping due to a holiday. I didn't love that, but I had already paid. I don't regret buying it. You can see a lot in skin, which is amazing.
