The microscope required assembling but this only involved about ten minutes work with the help of clear written instructions and I didn't encounter any difficulties. The images viewed through the microscope are very clear and sharply focussed. At first I was considering buying the Researcher but that model didn't appear to have a way of adjusting the light and that is why I am glad I chose this (Scholar) model. The light control is smooth and effective and, I think, essential. The mechanical controls are also smooth and positive with no hesitation or backlash. The only criticism I would make is that the kit didn't include a demo slide or two so I could use it straight away. This meant that I had to wait a further day until the slides that I had ordered from Ebay arrived. Despite that minor grumble I am pleased with the quality of the microscope and the service from Apex. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Quality General purpose Microscope for enthusiasts and Professionals alike. *by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2014* Always wanted a microscope since I left school 30 years ago. I've used a few but this is by far the best I have ever used. Not saying this is the best out there. If you have the money there are plenty of professional Microscopes out there, but this represents excellent value for money showing that quality really doesn't have to cost the earth. It is very well built both in materials and precision giving you robustness and ease of use. The LED back light is a quality with perfectly uniform light which is adjustable from off to high output and an iris control. The height adjustment has course and fine adjustment controls with knobs for x and y control making it easy to pan across the subject. The trinocular compound lens system allows stereo vision while offering the facility to attach a camera system at the same time. The high powered magnification up to 1000x with wide angle of view gives you an excellent window on the microscopic. For more details go to www.apexmicroscopes.co.ukThis is not a field microscope as the LED light is powered from the mains. It is a shame that they didn't use a 12vdc input so that an external 12V supply could be utilised such as a 12V car battery or something but I didn't buy it for that. This would have extended its usefulness I'm sure to field workers. The table has a x and y graticule so you can work out how far you are moving.The whole unit with lenses weighs in at around 5kg ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars speediest delivery ever. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2017* Less than 24 hours after ordering the Apex Scholer Microscope it arrived. I was amazed. There are better microscopes available for those with deeper pockets, but even so the micriscope is packed with useful features and is excellent value for the price. I ordered this model rather than the Researcher because I wanted the controlable rheostat led light. I am especially pleased with the even spread of lighting provided by this and the ability to increase the contrast so that even fairly clear specimens are outlined clearly. The achromatic objectives are really sharp. The machanical stage is fitted with two vernier scales so that interesting features on any slide can be noted down and found again. The coarse and fine focusing controls seem to be smooth and work well. The other important feature which attracted me to the Scholer rather than the Researcher microscope is the trinocular head allowing for photography. I have now purchased the Apex snapper so that I can attach my digital SLR to the microscope and also the dark field attachment. The customer service at Apex microscopes is second to none and gives me confidence that any future problems I may encounter with my treasured microscope will be quickly resolved. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this for serious amateur microscopist or budding young scientists. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Apex Scholar - Microscope Slides and Cover Slips, 50 Pcs Prepared Microscope Sample Slides with Ground Edge, 100 Pcs Pre Cleaned Microscope Cover Glasses, with 5 Pcs 2ml Plastic Droppers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/57135249-the-apex-scholar](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/57135249-the-apex-scholar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
