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

Recently, there were two microscope repair cases. One was not suspenseful, and it was marked Olympus SZ40 on the body. The other customer said that it was also an Olympus microscope that needed to be repaired, but there was no logo on the microscope. 99% similarity (photo)

The eyepiece holder is slightly different, the third eyepiece is exactly the same, the zoom wheel is also the same, the body shell is very similar, and the joints 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.
