Has anyone ever tried the microscopes made by Motic and Bresser? They should
be made in China but they don't seems crappy at all.
Besides, one can always buy more expensive optics to replace the standard
ones.

Exchanging a badly made objective for a well made objective won't make
the microscope look as good as it should. The objective and eyepiece
should be designed to work together. There are a bunch of things that
can be corrected either in the eyepiece or in the objective, some
makers correct one place and other correct in the other. You should
always use one makers optics only, the maker who built the stand.

Motic and the other names Motic uses or has used, Red Wall No 1 and No
2 for instance, is a good maker but not a great maker. The plant
makes every thing from car bumpers to microscopes. Some day they will
make a good microscope just not now.

Buy a good quality 'scope new or used, you won't be sorry!

Thanks,
