"Dave
I received the trinoc head for my OM239P and it works great. I no longing believe my brain isn’t working correctly and I don’t get double vision headaches anymore!
I want to thank you and everyone at Microscope.com for the help. I wish I would have been a little smarter and called when I first questioned what I was seeing in the scope last year.
I want to add that you should share this note with others there. I want everyone there to know how pleased I am to deal with professionals such as you. I will recommend Microscope.com to anyone considering buying a microscope. I have another scope I plan to buy in the future and will purchase it from you rather than any other vendor.
Thanks again for the great scope and the wonderful service."

"Dear Microscope Store Staff, I recently had some questions about a microscope my niece (age 11) had received as a present some years ago. I had called with a list of questions about batteries, lights and our missing power cord. I called on a Sunday morning and left a message. your staff person (sorry I can't remember the nice lady's name) called me back promptly and answered my questions. She was charming and provided great service, which seems to be rare these days.
For my questions about the batteries, she said that a technician would contact me on Monday. The following day, the technician contacted me and answered my questions. He provided great service and made sure the power cord I needed, was in the office to be shipped. I would like to thank you very much for great service. The microscope now works great and I have an inspired scientist in the house."
Sincerely, Rebecca Schulman 4 March, 2013

"I would like to share a recent experience I had with the subject line order mentioned above. I desperately needed this item next day air and even though I did not place the order until after 4pm, your company was able get it shipped and scheduled to be delivered to me in Oregon next day. Unfortunately there was a problem with the address which delayed the delivery. This is where a Microscope employee named Rhonda comes in. She was extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. She, in my opinion, clearly exceeded what I normally would have expected. She was right on the issue with UPS and sincerely tried to get my package to me that day."
Ultimately, after several calls back and forth between UPS, Microscope and myself, it was discovered the mistake was mine with a simple keystroke error in the Zip Code. Even though the blame was clearly on me, Rhonda was sincerely apologetic that I was not going to receive the package on time for a presentation I had to make to my boss and several managers. I was very impressed with her as with the entire experience with the Microscope crew and I look forward to doing more business with your organization in the future.
Rick Barnett, 22 Feb, 2013

"Dear Mark, Thank you for your service and your kindness. This picture will be enable my grandson to see what is coming to him this next week. I’m sure he will be watching for the mail every day in anticipation Attached is a picture of our little man, Brockton. It is so much fun to watch him develop. Your microscope will be a wonderful motivator for him into the world of science!"

"Danny, thanks for the info.
I didn't realize that the stand came with a focus block. I have to compliment both you, and the person with whom I spoke on the phone, for your prompt and courteous responses. When I called to place the order, it was answered on the first ring....by an actual human not a machine!
Microscope.com ROCKS!!!"

Thanks for the reply. You guys have an awesome company. Very responsive!"
Rick Trone, 17 Sep, 2012
"Thank you,
I was looking for a magnifying lamp to use in my jewelry making work, and logged on to your chat to get a recommendation. I want to thank you, as you saved me about 200 dollars! I was going to purchase an Ott Circline light, but your chat person directed me to a smaller lamp on close out pricing that he said should do the job. It just arrived and he was absolutely right. It is much nicer and heavier duty than similar models I had seen in office supply stores, so I had shied away from that design.
I appreciate being sold the item appropriate for my needs at the best cost. As a small business owner, every penny counts, and I am happy to say you just saved me a bunch of them.
Thank you!"
Jenny Vestal, 3 Aug, 2012
Dear Microscope Store, Your standard of customer service is exemplary. Thank you for your attention to my small order. Cheers,
Louis Bialy, Wisemans Ferry NSW Australia, 13 July, 2012
Hello, Received the magnifier lamp two days ago. Very good quality and materials: solid and well-built. A good value for the money spent! I have posted FB for you this morning on the transaction. Thanks very much, look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

I just purchased your Omano OM88-40x-1600x Clinical Compound Microscope along with a few accessories. I was very pleased with the shopping experience. With all the information I had at my fingertips I felt as though one of your sales associates was standing at my side. I was just wondering how I set up an account with you guys?
Yours truly

Sean,
I am extremely happy you could help my guys in Santa Clara out so quickly. Jacob emailed me this morning that they needed a microscope contact, so I forwarded info from when Jim ordered in November. Such quick turn is appreciated, especially as they often don’t know the project requires an item that is not down there until the project hits that road block.
Thanks!

"Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a seventh grade student who has recently received an Omano OM-118-B4S microscope.
I am writing to complement on how well it has worked. The images have been crisp, clear and have all of the details present. Everything has worked perfectly and has been an enjoyable piece of scientific machinery.
I thank you for producing a fine machine.
Best Regards,"

"Dear sir,
Thanks for your concern about my incomplete transaction. I had the intention of purchasing one Moticam 5 because the Moticam 2300 I purchased before did not work well. However, I found later that the problem was the computer. I changed the notebook and the camera worked perfectly. I shall delete the moticam-5 from my shopping cart.
Thanks for writing. My shopping at Microscope.com was a pleasurable experience.
Sincerely yours,"
William Morales, February 13th, 2012
"Sean,
Now that I know about your company (came across your website via a Google search), I’ll probably be back in the future for other microscopy needs because I’m always looking for adapters or parts for microscopes in our department to repair, update, or make use of them."
Dr. Robert Corbett, February 9th, 2012

I just wanted to let you guys know that you're running a great business. I just received the second microscope that I bought from you guys in the last year (which shipped incredibly fast) and I couldn't be more thrilled! The quality of the equipment and your service was phenomenal. I've already sent two friends to you guys after they used the first microscope that I bought. I'm sure more will follow. You've got a lifetime customer!"

"Hi Sean,
Thanks so much for the assistance. Dave shipped out a new 40X magnification lens today. As I told him, you guys are fantastic! From your shipping department to your customer service and support! There are a lot of corporations out there that could learn from your practices!
I'll be hunkering down Wednesday as we prepare for our first blast of snow, we could get up to 16 inches! (Hey, that's what computers, blue rays and your favorite spirits were made for..lol)
Have a grand week,"
Marty
"Thank You! -- I received the Omano OM118-B4S Compound Microscope last week. The product is just as described on your website, and the shipping was very fast. This is my first "real" microscope, but it was easy to set up. There was a small problem with the condenser, it may have jostled loose during shipping (although the instrument was very well packaged), but your very patient tech support manager Dave walked me through the adjustments, and I have enjoyed the 'scope every since.
I whole new world has opened up, what fun. Thank you so much for offering a quality product at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend your company.
Best Regards"
Ursel Howland, 24 Aug 2011
"Hi Maiya:
While on Microscope.com's website I needed some assistance, I used their chat where I was greeted with nothing but the best online chat session I've ever had when I've asked for information on a product. Dan was very helpful and directed me to send an e-mail to Maiya too whom could assist me further with my potential purchase. These folks went out of the way to help me find what I needed and they supplied me with great service from start to finish.
From the online chat, timely emails of answering my questions, processing my order and quickly shippingit out was great. I would just highly recommend using Microscope.com to anyone looking for a great product and outstanding customer service. I, for one was truly appreciative to Dan, Maiya for all their help. Thanks guys!"

"Hello Sean:
Well, my shipment arrived from you late in the day on the 31st--I unpacked everything that night and appreciated the secure packaging--everything was in fine shape and the 3344 microscope looked awesome. The next day I started working with everything in earnest.
The microscope blew me away--I have never used a stereoscope before, and the dimensionality, the clarity and sharpness of the images were breathtaking --the two sets of kingdom and animal slides were excellent--but most striking were some of the items I collected from the Sonoran desert while I was down there this winter--one item in particular, a small piece of cholla cactus seen up close becomes a series of small cactus hills fringed with fine hairy outgrowths--this was not a flat object, but in the microscope it had depth and dimensionality as it slanted down and away from right to left--and the focus still held good all the well--really amazing. I don’t know what more a person could ask for in such an instrument.
The 2X barlow also worked well, but as you said when you get into higher magnifications, you have depth of field problems, etc. 7X-45X works fine for most everything --if you ever want me to give testimony about the 3344 Omano scope I’ll be glad to do it!"

"Dear Mr. Crookenden,
Thank you so kindly for your in-kind donation of the Contour Research Biological Microscope w/LED and the slide kit, valued at $430.85.
We thank you greatly for your contribution to support the birthing women of Jacmel, Haiti. Your donation has assisted in helping over 400 women give birth safely and gently with the support of volunteer midwives. Your donation also offers the Haitian midwifery students an opportunity to learn about how to use a microscope, and an opportunity to study sexually transmitted diseases under the scope and treat them properly to help prevent further complications in labor and delivery for mother and baby.
Mr. Crookenden, you are making a huge difference in the lives of the women in Jacmel, Haiti who receive prenatal and birth care at the MHI birth clinic. I will take pictures once we have the scope in place and send them to you when I am there in June. I personally am hand-carrying this with me to Haiti.
Thank you again for your generosity.
In Great Gratitude,

"Dear Mr. Crookenden,
I am writing to thank you about the excellent service that I recently received from two of your employees.
On Monday, May 2, I ordered a high quality microscope from your site. I asked for 2nd day air shipping and it arrived on May 4 as expected. When I unpacked it I was surprised to find that the entire stage assembly was falling off the rack and pinion focusing mechanism. I called and talked to Dave in you repair department, thinking he would tell me how to fix it. Instead, Dave said he would send me a new one and a pre-paid return label for the damaged one. He told me the replacement would be sent UPS ground and that it was so late in the day that it probably wouldn’t go out until the next day.
Dave was quite certain that the damage occurred during shipping and the cardboard box had a hole in it. Based on that I told Dave that Fedex should refund the shipping charge and that, since the replacement was being sent ground, I should get back the extra I paid for 2nd day air. He suggested I talk to someone in accounting about that. I spoke to Rhonda and she said that she would refund the shipping charge and that Fedex would come and pickup the damaged microscope.
When I hung up the phone I was totally satisfied with the resolution and was expecting to get the replacement in a week or so. Later that evening I was quite surprised to get the email with the tracking number. When I checked the tracking number I was even more surprised to find that the replacement had been upgraded to 2nd day air. It arrived in fine shape on Friday, May 6.
Since Fedex is quite slow about coming to pick up the damaged microscope and I wanted keep Rhonda updated, I have spoken with her a few more times since then. Every time I have called she has been extremely pleasant on the phone, in fact she is one of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to at a business.
The help I have received from Rhonda and Dave has been outstanding. I am an extremely happy customer because of them."
Sincerely,

"Charles
I wanted to take the time to let you know how pleased I am that I did business with your company. Even though I saw that I could get cheaper microscopes from other companies, I read the reviews and decided to go with your company and its very positive feedbacks.
From the very beginning, my questions were answered very quickly, and with a sense of warmth that was unusual. After buying the microscope which I am very pleased with, the camera, a 9mp would not load. I was in touch with Dave and his help and his willingness to go out of his way was really impressive. He ended up resolving the problem I had and the whole process was handled not only professionally but quickly and again with a real sense of concern and willingness to go the extra distance. I am very impressed with your products but more with your personel who make all the difference. You should be proud of your company and your employees."

"I purchased this microscope for my 10 year old grandson this past Christmas. I was so pleased with my purchase and so was my grandson. He is into science big time and wanted a REAL microscope [not a "toy"]. This item sure fit the bill. It is great made of high quality material and constructed very well and most of all is very reasonably priced. My grandson is having a ball....so much so that I am ordering him two more sets of slides for Easter. Thank you for a terrific website. It is great to be able to purchase an item that will hopefully be of great benefit to my grandson's education!"

“I was need of a boom microscope to do SMT soldering. I did some research to find one that was within our price range. Searching the internet. I found the “Microscope Store”. I could not believe the price, I thought it was a used scope. I purchased the (Omano 10x/30x Dual Power, Stereo, Boom Microscope with 10W Light Ring). When I received the microscope I was impressed, truly impressed. Over the next year the scope was put though the works, soldering iron burns, flux cleaner spray and just being knocked around and still worked as well as the day I received it. I placed orders for two more for other technicians. They loved them as well. I have recently changed companies and again was in need of a boom microscope. I went straight to your company and purchased the same scope. In my opinion these are the best scopes I have ever used.”
Lance T. March 30, 2011
"I recently purchased a new microscope from you. One of your salesmen was a great help to me in selecting the perfect Microscope for SMD work. He recommend the OM2300S-GX4. I am so pleased with it. I have since ordered the 75x Barlow. I recommend this Barlow for Surface mount work. It gives you great clearance for soldering and a huge field of view. I can get the entire footprint of a 208 PLCC in the eyepiece with perfect size and resolution. The LED lamp is fantastic too. Far better than the Florescent lamp. I do lots of SMD work and would recommend this set up to anybody. Thanks again for your help." B. Rogers Mar 25, 2011
"To Whom It May Concern, (Owner) I would like to take the opportunity to address the service quality of two of your employees, and your website. First, allow me to address one of your employees, Rhonda. Yesterday, (Sunday 3/13/11) I called your sales department to find out information about a few microscopes that I was looking into. After thorough research, I had many questions regarding some of the attributes of a few microscopes your company sells. When I called, I found Rhonda to be extremely cordial and nice. She tried to answer as many questions that I had listed, however some were very technical and she was unable to answer them. I can not tell you how much I appreciate the fact that she was honest, and didn't just make up an answer to satisfy my inquiry. She asked me if I wanted someone to phone me back on Monday. To this I responded that I preferred to call back, as I could accomplish this at my convenience. She was extremely professional, candid, and most of all helpful. Fast forward to Monday, 3/14/11. Today, I called back to speak with the representative (Sean) that Rhonda had referred me to. Sean was not available, and I asked the person on the phone if they could help. I was speaking to Jason, and he replied that he could also help me. I can not even begin to impress upon you how helpful this man was. I really grilled him about many, many technical attributes of the microscopes that I was inquiring about. I grilled him about cameras... about USB cameras... about optics... color... filters... Basically, Jason provided tremendous volumes of information about various reasons, causes, and ways that the microscope worked. He was able to address my inquiries brilliantly and then some. I live in a city where this information would require numerous phone calls, and would never be doled out in such a willful manner. Yet, Jason easily and eloquently discussed the various things I needed clarification on. He was never in a hurry nor pushy or impatient. You are incredibly fortunate to have a person with such knowledge working for your company. Lastly, I would like to address your website. I found out about Omano microscopes on a fluke when I was reading a message board about AmScope. I had never heard of this brand (nor AmScope and others) prior to researching mid-grade microscopes. I went to your website and was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it easy to navigate, it is extremely telling of the type of company you are. The fact that you have a phone number and physical address speaks volumes. (Trust me, I have discovered this the hard way with an espresso machine.) I am unsure how long Omano has been in the industry, as I do not know if this brand commenced with the founding of your company. However, from listings, I can see that it is a few years. Your website is very supportive of your endeavor. All in all, I hope the microscope that I have ordered today lives up to my expectations. I am pretty confident that it will, as your staff is excellent. Please give kudos to these two people, as on this day they enabled your company to sell over $500 in equipment. They are truly magnificent employees. If you should have any questions, or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me directly." Warm regards, Tammy U. 3.13.2011
"Just to let you know - my microscope arrived this morning. I am so relieved and I would like to thank you ever so much for your patience and your help. I have already unpacked everything and started using the scope this afternoon. I cannot believe the clarity and how this scope gives me so much detail. In a statement: Where has this been all my life? This microscope is unbelievable and is going to give me so much pleasure to use and it will enable me to do my engravings so much easier and faster."

"I wanted to thank you and your team for your quick turn-around on exchanging that camera for me. Your responsiveness helped me a lot. Working with your company is always a good experience." R. Zugnoni, Penumbra Inc. Oct 1, 2010
"Thanks for the heads up, I'll be looking for that tracking number. I appreciate your help on this matter. I want you to know that I am very happy with both the product and the service I received, and that I will make a point of conveying a very positive review reflecting this sentiment on any occasion where purchase of optics arises. I look forward to start working with this equipment, and as we discussed earlier, I think there will be an opportunity for further collaboration between us in the near future. Best Wishes." Tsil, Sept 8, 2010
"Greetings, I received yesterday the eyepiece and I installed it. It is completely OK and right now we can run our experiment. It is likely some bad occasions in work and I completely find out these problems. By the way, I would like to appreciate your kind cooperation and also I am thankful for the cooperation of your staffs, especially Sean and Dave. They were so patient and I hope we have more communication in future. Thanks again for all your guides and cooperation." Reza, July 15, 2010

"Thanks, we received that microscope yesterday and my daughter is very happy, we're looking to order some more from Microscope.com. Once again, Thank You." James T. May 14, 2010
"I don't know who to send this to, but I wanted to thank everyone at your business. I have received my new microscope and all is well. It is perfect for our intended use. Our new scope is sitting next to my other two scopes. One is a 50 year old Tasco I got for Christmas as a child. I still have it as it helped inspire my interest in science as a child. Next to that is my Nikon, a fine instrument that will be passed down to grand children some day. Joining this collection is my new Omano OM 4424 which we dearly love.
My wife and I work as volunteer naturalist in the park system here in Louisville, Kentucky. It was doing the pond studies that my wife got really enthused about microscopes. She also loves plants and often needed a good scope for examining them. The OM 4424 filled the bill for a variety of applications. Not only that, we have three grand children who will love using this scope.
Count us as very satisfied customers. This is praise not to take lightly as we will often be using the new Omano next to our Nikon Alphaphot YS. Its nice that the optics on the Omano, a very affordable scope, are of good enough quality to appreciated next to the Nikon. It appears that for the price this scope would be very difficult to beat. Fact is, I think one would have to spend many times more money to surpass the performance of this scope. We really appreciate the all metal construction, the weight and "feel" of the scope, as well as the optic quality.
If you would, please make sure this message gets to the right person or persons. In a world where so many people complain its only fair that a company that deserves praise should hear from the people who use and enjoy their products.
Thanks again and I will keep your company in mind for any future needs." John H. May 11, 2010

"I am certainly a satisfied customer and would like to say..Customer satisfaction comes from having someone like you as a corporate representative who understands - and cares - what I as a customer wish to do. Magic is not part of the deal and my shopping experience at The Microscope Store has been above expectations. The microscope will be a nice surprise for someone little and wiggly (5 years old). With appreciation.." Nancy C. September 18, 2009
"I want to thank you and everyone at Microscope.com for excellent customer services which contributed to IDEA’s Boston Workshop success. Many attendees said that they would be making a purchase of the Dino-Lite so I sent them to your company".............." Debra E. August 31, 2009
"I am a new customer of Microscope.com and I am very pleased with everything so far. I just purchased this Optixcam Series 9.0 camera for use in the electronics R&D lab. We have to use it on a low magnification stereo zoom microscope and a high magnification laboratory microscope to observe and photograph silicon integrated circuits. I am very impressed with the clarity and ease of set-up of this camera. It produces beautiful images for a very reasonable price. Excellent product!" Brian T. Lafayette, In
"Can I just say that you guys are the best company to work with. Ordering is easy, your p rices can't be beat and you ship the next day. We made the mistake of ordering a microscope from Microscope Depot. I placed the order on Feb 12, and the microscope didn't arrive until April 14. We recommend you to all of our colleagues and will never use another company for our microscope needs." Lindsi M. University of Utah, Dept. of Medicila Chemistry, May 2009
"Please accept my sincere thanks for an excellent microscope. As an amateur entomologist, the OM 4413 provides everything one could ask for. Operation is simple and all controls are solid and positive. Optics are superb, even up to 120X which is generally considered the upper limit for stereo microscopes. With 20X eyepieces, the 3X objective, and the 3X Barlow (120X) the images are stunning.
From 10X to 120X this scope performs flawlessly. Combined with oblique and transmitted light sources, both independent and variable, you've got a microscope that will serve you for years and years and provide countless and comfortable hours of visual pleasure.
Its' built like a Swiss bank vault. The folks at Microscope.com are wonderful. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and supremely helpful (Thanks Danny and Eric). if you couch any reservations regarding the optical or mechanical quality of this microscope - don't! Rest assured that you'll be very pleased, and at this price point the OM 4413 is an absolute bargain! Once again, thank you so much! I also look forward to my new OM 88 as well." Rich G. May 2009
"Thank you. This is my second flawless purchase from you guys. I really appreciate it very much." Raymond M. December, 2007
"Your QUICK service is unbelievable! When I ordered, I was hoping I was not too late to receive the microscope in time for Christmas. All businesses should be as prompt as "The Microscope Store." Lora E. December 2007
"I received the microscope today and I must say I've worked with a lot of different types of scopes and this one is fantastic for the price! I am very pleased with the whole set up." Joe B, November, 2007
"I just wanted to tell you how much I love my OM CAM2. I'd searched for all sorts of systems and despaired of getting what I needed for under $1,000. I can't believe the OM CAM2 does exactly what I wanted -- a great picture, quickly and easily. I did need some tech support getting set up and Eric was there to patiently walk me through the whole process. Very impressive. Thanks for both, a great product and great service!" Laurie G. June 2007
"In the ERAI broadcast a few weeks ago, you included information about a dealer with whom the ERAI negotiated a special price, for a microscope set-up configured for our industry. I called them the next morning and found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful."
"I purchased the model suggested by The Microscope Store and the ERAI and had it set up within a few minutes of receipt. I called The Microscope store during the set-up to ask about the various lenses and camera adapters and found that their after-sale service was as good as their pre-sale service."
"We put it to use right away. We have had it for less than 2 weeks and have already rejected 4 parts worth a total of $6044. All of the rejected parts would have passed inspection had we still been using our 7x magnifying glass. It makes us worry about how much we were missing before!"
"I highly recommend The Microscope Store and thank the ERAI for putting me on to them." -- Andy Masterton, Kimtronics, Quebec

"I cannot thank you enough for the stereo microscope that I purchased from you. It was one of, if not the best investments(s) that I have made for my business. Accurately grading sports trading cards is the bread & butter of my business and with the help of the microscope that I purchased from you, I can't begin to tell you how much easier accurately grading sports cards has become! Thx again for everything!" Steve, Brooklyn Boy Cards & Sports

"This is a professional quality microscope at a price that is too good to be true, but it is. Great optics that provide excellent clarity, color and depth of field. The ease of use and lighting is also excellent. My kids were so excited to see the images and the whole new world opened up for their discovery. One of them dissected a squid and received excellent marks on their report. Not bad for just starting second grade. Thanks for the great scope and the excellent service." -- Curtis S.
"The scope is mechanically solid, and simple enough for my 6-year old to use without any help.

Excellent service and shipping preparation. Mike does it right!" -- Jon Hollcraft, Laytonville, CA.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase!" -- Greg Halac

"First, i would like to express my appreciation to your staff (and I think I may have talked to them all by now). One of the biggest complaints in today's consumer world is the lack of customer service and basic considerate behaviors from businesses. If the attitudes and help which I have experienced with your company so far are the norm for you, consumers should do business with you just to see how it feels to be treated kindly and fairly." - Sincerely, Dr. Michael Davis, Director of the International Ministerial Institute
"If you are the one who called me, thank you so much for clarifying the shipping/handling info for me and for the receipt below. It is greatly appreciated, and I will be SURE to purchase items from this website again in the very near future!" Sincerely, Lisa N. Satisfied Customer
"Received my OM99-V3! It is just great - just what I wanted. And the upgraded light source is just as great and the polarizing filters are a must, in my opinion. When we talked on the phone I thought you said the OM99 comes with the 10W light - even if you get an upgrade. If that is true, then the shipment did not have it included. (You were right - it's nice to have a 'spare'.) Thought you'd like to know about that. And thanks for the great customer support." Richard M. Austin, TX
"Excellent Customer Service! I noticed that it did not go through and sent our PO off to Danny via email. Thank you so much for letting us know. I appreciate your attention to detail. Have a great day!" Marcie, Redmond, OR

"Hi, I found out about you through a site called Cafe Mom. I ordered the microscope this morning with free shipping to be sent to my grandson for Christmas. I already received a ship notification from UPS. You Rock. The next time I speak to LL Bean or Harry & David about customer service, I'll have to let them know about your excellent service. Merry Christmas." Juliane T.

Warmest Regards." Sanja S. McKinney, TX
"I called your shop and placed the order by phone. Very nice and helpful gentleman took my order. New I was in good hands when I was asked "just like the hog call?" when I gave my e-mail address. Same credit card used as the on line info and no problem according to the e-mail alert that comes to me when that card is used. Received the merchandise in good order and made a 9yo grandson very happy on Christmas morning! Thanks again." Howard W. 28 Dec 2010
"Hi, I recently bought a microscope and contacted you telling you that I had trouble with double images. The person who responded was very cordial and I appreciated that, as I did the person I spoke to when I ordered the scope. The good news is that the microscope is fine; in fact, I'm delighted with it and with the camera I ordered. I'm very sorry to have fussed about it. Less good news (and this may help you guys in the future) is that the problem is me: I have a non-convergence of my visual fields. Hopefully, it's just that I'm 106 years old, give or take, on medication for various things and nothing serious ... I thought I should explain this, as I said, in case it comes up a gain and as an apology for my earlier concern. So thank you for the microscope and for being so courteous when I've called or emailed." Dr. Andrew,
"Mr. Cuddy, Thank you SO MUCH for the prompt reply! I can't tell you how valued and appreciated promptness and courteousness is! Please forward to your supervisor. Thank You!" Leah H. New Bern, NC
"THANK YOU MIA... This would be fine with me! I did not wish to pay it all in one month, as I am on a fixed income, so your cooperation is truly appreciated.This way I know I will have the microscope of my dreams...Oh Boy! I called you as well to confirm our arrangement. I feel special, and realize this causes you a little extra work, but its wonderful dealing with a reputable organization. Thank you for making this possible. Samuel J. PS Here is a picture I've taken with my Stereo Binocular Microscope of some gold nuggets I found in a creek nearby! Makes me feel rich to see them Magnified! ha ha.Photography is my hobby in my retirement years. I look forward to getting the new microscope in April!!! Yea!!!"
"Sean, I placed an order today and I can truly say that your emails had a lot to to with me choosing your company over the many others. Please show this to your boss since I think public contact is a major factor in businesses either doing well or failing. You did a nice job and your friendly and helpful emails resulted in a sale for your company." Bob L.
