good need more specification like working temp. humidity etc

Thank you for your comment. The microscope has been used in conditions from the Amazon rainforest to Mount Everest, so these conditions normally affect the operator more than the microscope. It will operate from below 0C to 45C and up to 90%RH as long as the humidity is not condensing. Condensation is the enemy of all microscopes because lenses don’t work well with water on them. You just need to let the microscope adjust to the cold damp environments before using it.
Please let me know if I can help further.

This microscope works well for capturing images and videos of bovine embryos. We have been very impressed with how easy it is to use, as well as with the image quality. Andrew has answered all of our questions and provided excellent customer support. This product is a great price for the quality.
