The 144 LED Ring Light is Great
I am by no means an expert on microscopes, but for what I do, which is to look at placer gold and sort gold from what isn't gold, this microscope does the job well. I also am happy to have the ability to add a digital camera, which I haven't yet gotten around to. The adapter for my Sony Alpha 7 R IV costs more than the microscope. I wasn't sure what level of magnification I would need, so I opted for higher magnification than I was getting with the student dissecting microscope I had previously borrowed. Greater magnification means I need more light. I just ordered this stereo microscope with a 144 LED light. The higher levels of magnification are really too high for gold flakes and nuggets, but the closeup views are often spectacularly beautiful and I can always switch to the lower magnification levels if I need to.
