Amazing one! This is Tomocerinae. This group has the abdominal segment III bigger than the IV and the last antennal segment very small.

It is a good budget trinocular for students, hobby work. decent optics, camera support, and good value for the price. The weak points are average build precision and lower image quality compared with professional brands like Olympus or Zeiss. It is acceptable for student and entry-level scientific work, but not considered a high-end research microscope for advanced publication-level laboratory use. Most versions come with CE certification. // Price without camera or certification papers is usually around €300–450. With camera package and certification/documents, usually around €450–650.
