Quick question, why would you sell a microscope that boasts 40x-2500x magnification? If you are an expert and want to gain people’s trust you should be selling something that earns people’s trust, because it just takes one person like me that does extensive research and learns that 2000x is empty, blurry and sad magnification that you do not need, with compound microscopes you need max 1500x for useable and comfortable magnification so why advertise something to naive buyers that’s not useful? You say: The great thing about buying from Micro Safari is we've already done the work to figure out which ones are fantastic. I don’t you’ve done the work to sell to inexperienced buyers unless you did the work to know how to sell to naive buyers, then that’s different because of course that to any microscopy beginner an “astonishing 25000x” is gonna sound like a reason to buy when it’s honestly unusable
