Customers are dissatisfied with the focus of the microscope. They mention that it's difficult to properly focus with higher power objectives, and the focuser has play in it. The focus plane keeps changing as you try to take a picture, and it auto-focuses at whim.

Good microscope
This is a descent microscope so far. The one complaint I have with product is there were no helpful instructions at all so the first 30 minutes were frustrating. I went to you tube to find a how to video on set up. It was more helpful than the small pamphlet that was in the box.
