If you're shopping for a microscope or binoculars, you undoubtedly want the best that money can buy. But, like anything, you need to do your research to make sure you are getting the best product for your needs. There are plenty of microscopes on the market, but not all of them are made equal. You want a microscope that is high quality, easy to use, and has the latest technology.

Our consumer testing lab has tested hundreds of microscopes over the years, evaluating their field of view, image quality, technology, and ease of use. Our consumer testers spend weeks using the microscopes in the field, looking at leaves, rocks, bugs, and animals. They also rate the microscopes based on ease of use, ease of image transfer, and image quality. Here are the best Amscope video microscopes of 2022, according to testing and popular reviews:
