Como compilamos isto
Covers 13 compound (compound-optical, eyepiece+objective-turret) microscopes a 2026 buyer actually cross-shops: budget-to-mid student/hobbyist trinoculars with integrated USB cameras (AmScope T490B-5MT, AmScope B120C-M, Swift SW380T, OMAX M837ZL, Levenhuk D740T), entry monocular lab scopes (Celestron LABS CM2000CF, Bresser Erudit DLX), a legacy university digital-camera scope (National Optical DC5-163), and clinical/educational-grade instruments from the major optics brands (Evident/Olympus CX23, Nikon Eclipse E100, Leica DM750, Zeiss Primostar 3, Motic BA210). One seed from the original brief, the Andonstar AD409, was dropped after verification: it is a single-lens handheld/HDMI digital inspection scope (no eyepiece, objective turret, or condenser) and does not fit the 'compound microscope' schema (head_type, objective_count, condenser_type, mechanical_stage would all be fabricated); it was replaced with AmScope B120C-M, Nikon Eclipse E100, Leica DM750, and Zeiss Primostar 3 to keep the roster at a genuine apples-to-apples compound-microscope comparison spanning ~$300-$3,000+. max_magnification is the manufacturer-stated total magnification (highest objective x eyepiece, using the eyepiece pairing the source itself uses for its headline 'NNx-NNNNx' figure, e.g. a 100x oil objective x a 25x eyepiece for machines marketed with a 25x eyepiece option) - not a sum. objective_count is the number of nosepiece positions on the standard/base configuration described. camera_compatible is true if the product ships with an integrated digital camera, a trinocular/photo port, or a documented C-mount/eyepiece-camera adapter path; false only where a source explicitly rules this out; null where genuinely undocumented. Every product's optical/mechanical specs were independently fetched from either the manufacturer's own product or spec page (Evident/Olympus, Nikon, Leica, Zeiss, Bresser, Levenhuk, National Optical's own PDF datasheet) or, where the manufacturer's storefront returned persistent HTTP 429 bot-blocking on every attempt across many retries and IP-varying reseller domains (amscope.com, swiftmicroscopes.com, omaxmicroscope.com, celestron.com, motic.com, nationaloptical.com all did this consistently), from a named US reseller's product page instead (amscope.shop, selectumllc.com, kwtelescope.com, camnexas.com, motic-microscope.com, review-rating.com, microscopecrew.com) - every such substitution is flagged in that product's provenance. priceUsd is the clearest confirmed US-dollar starting price found; several products in this category (Evident CX23, National Optical DC5-163, Bresser Erudit DLX, Levenhuk D740T, OMAX M837ZL base config, Leica DM750, Zeiss Primostar 3) are sold through quote-only/B2B lab-equipment channels or EU-only storefronts with no public US list price, and priceUsd is null for these rather than converting a foreign-currency figure or borrowing a different SKU's price - the specific figures that were found (EUR prices, sibling-model prices, higher-spec-variant prices) are preserved in priceNote for context. Images: a manufacturer-hosted or manufacturer-supplied reseller product photo, HTTP-verified and visually inspected (via direct file fetch) at capture time for each; four products (AmScope T490B-5MT, Swift SW380T, National Optical DC5-163, OMAX M837ZL) had no independently fetchable direct image file found despite repeated attempts (dead links, JS-rendered galleries, or only a text-and-stock-photo review-blog banner) and ship without an image key rather than a guessed or mismatched one. No Wikimedia Commons images were usable: Commons has no photos of these specific SKUs, and the closest hits (a different-generation Nikon Eclipse Ci, an older two-word 'Primo Star' Zeiss unit) were rejected as not depicting the exact product. accessedAt 2026-08-01 throughout.
