PHENIX Professional BMC303-A - professional trinocular
An expensive biological stereoscope with interchangeable eyepieces gives a picture with an increase from 40 to 1600 times. Such a device can be used in mono and stereo mode by simply changing the optical attachment. The model is supplemented by a 9.7 ″ touchscreen display - the image is projected onto it by a video eyepiece installed in the third slot. Such a functional device is suitable for serious laboratories, and for medical universities.
Pros:

- Reliable metal case.
Minuses:
- High cost - for the maximum configuration with a video lens and a display you will have to pay more than 70 thousand rubles. Without a screen, the device can be taken for 40 thousand.
ANDONSTAR AD106S - compact digital microscope with automatic video shooting
A microscope with a display for the majority will be the most convenient solution - after all, there is no need to lean over the eyepiece, studying the object on the stage or doing some fine work. The image is displayed directly on the screen, and if necessary it can be recorded on a flash card (a slot for it is provided). The maximum magnification that this microscope gives is 250x.
Pros:
- Sufficient lens resolution (HD), but you can get an interpolation 1080p image of quite decent quality;

Minuses:
- Regardless of the length of the video, the finished file will take 1.7-2 GB on a flash drive;
- The unchanging duration of the video (10 minutes), after which the shooting simply stops.
LUCKYZOOM (3.5X-90X) SZM45 14MP - Workhorse
A universal microscope on a movable bracket allows you to view objects not only on the stage, but also at any point within a radius of 40-45 cm. A convenient solution when you need to evaluate or repair certain areas of dimensional objects, conduct flaw detection and other work not related to the study of small samples. The device has three eyepieces, in one of which a 14 megapixel camera is inserted.
Pros:

Minuses:
- Sometimes it comes without instructions, but it will be easy to figure it out.
AOMEKIE AO-1019-1 - "two-eyed" microscope for minor repairs
This binocular microscope is suitable for repairing electronics, soldering and jewelry. The narrow scope of use led to a low magnification of optics - from 10x to 40x, but this is enough for most masters.
The interpupillary distance is adjustable between 50-75 mm, the gap between the table and the lens is from 7 to 11 cm. The stereoscope is powered by 2 AA batteries.

Minuses:
- Not too wide a field of work, but there is enough review for local repair.
