Can you tell the difference? Olympus SZ40 VS. Brother model (copycat version)?

There have been two microscope repair cases recently. One of them is not suspenseful. It is marked on the body as Olympus SZ40.

Another customer said that his Olympus microscope also needed repair, but there was no logo on the microscope.

The eyepiece holder is slightly different, the third eyepiece is exactly the same, the zoom wheel is the same, the fuselage shell is very similar, and the connecting seams are very similar. It is completely a work of reverse engineering.

Although it is a counterfeit product, the workmanship of this machine sent for repair is considered to be good.


In fact, there are many imitations of this type of microscope, and there are even many second- and third-generation copycat products that are so well done that they are copied by copycat factories.

Today, with the development of online shopping, you need to be cautious when purchasing precision optical products. It is best to go to an experienced and reputable store for the safest option.
