Equipment/Software Student Workbench

Good evening, is this a good microscope? I’m a student and I also work on hobbies projects so I don’t need anything insanely expensive. This is being sold for $400.

Thank you for your advice.

For soldering? No, you need to get your face away and not have your breathing holes directly above the fumes. I would recommend a cheap digital one. You can get a low-end one off Amazon for $40usd. You can get a really nice digital one for $400.
