Old USB microscope

Cool is it on for microscope there's a lot of things that it comes in handy for looking at coins looking inside my Motors just looking at your skin and see things you've never seen before

For $40 you can't expect much more than this! I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and worked as well as it did bc right after ordering I had asked a question about the item and I must have gotten a response from someone who was freshly salty from a bad transaction and they said they bought the camera for the same use I bought it for and said it did not work at all. So by the time the item arrived I was sure it was going to be junk. The only reason I did not give it 5 starts is bc all the wires/hardware are junk, most work but barely and the "Type-C" adapter did not work at all which is why I feel some people complained it did not work on their newer phones but after I found another adapter around the house it worked just fine. I bought the camera to view trichomes on plants and it works great for this purpose! Again its ONLY a $40 microscope so don't buy this with expectations of clarity as if you were using a $200+ microscope!! The best part about this item for me is that I can easily throw it in my pocket for "on the go situations" that come up!! Eventually I would like to drop a nice chunk of coin on a really nice microscope but for now I am MORE than happy with the purchase!!!

I was looking for a cheap electronic microscope and read several reviews of what's out there and settled on this particular brand because I did not find any really negative things said about it. It was all metal, waterproof, has the ability to focus and magnify easily, had a metal stand and can connect to both PC and Android. It was also very inexpensive so I bit. For the extremely low price I paid, it's an excellent device and I'm glad I bought it. The image is way better than I expected and the addition of LED lighting means I never have to worry about setting up lights around the object I'm magnifying. The stand is metal but ever so slightly lighter than it should be so I do have to be careful about the camera tipping over now and then but that's a user training issue, not necessarily a product flaw. And you can use it as a webcam since it is, after all, a camera. One thing it's missing and something you have to take note of is that there's no bump or nub on the long straw-like camera tube so that you immediately know which way "UP" is so you do have to rotate the camera every time you use it to orient it so I put a small segment of painters tape (a thin blue sliver) on the end of the camera to know how to orient it properly. Otherwise, it's not really that big of an issue. I'm very impressed with this camera/microscope and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for such a device.

Very disappointed. In the instructions, there is a card to scan to download the app to use with this. This microscope is not on the list of instruments to use with the app, and my card was charged an unauthorized $12.99 membership fee, which is not mentioned in the advertisement on Amazon. The app then took over my browser and kept popping up over top of my home page. That occurred even after removing the icon from my phone, and from my phone's app settings. Update: In addition to $12.99 previously charged to my card, 3 other unauthorized charges have been made. $46.83, $2.99, $39.99. DO NOT scan the card in the box with this microscope. It is a scam!!!!

Surprisingly effective for the price, and easily portable. I lent it to a colleague, who then asked me where the rest of it was :) Not actually variable zoom, but can focus from infinity down to a couple of centimeters. Good video quality. The LED illumination control is a manual dial. Works with Linux circa 6.11 (Debian 12) out of the box, without special drivers. The only quirk I encountered is a limited set of supported color encodings, which some video player software does not handle well. I found instructions for forcing MJPEG mode worked. For example with MPV: mpv --demuxer-lavf-format=video4linux2 --demuxer-lavf-o-set=input_format=mjpeg av://v4l2:/dev/video31

Using the product to identify pests and pest damage on a large farm. Thought this would be great for field use considering the ease of viewing it through the phone, but unfortunately that feature does not work. Upon searching other online forums for a solution, I found that there are a lot of reports describing the same problem, and with no fix. It seems the company has not updated their viewing app for android and is unusable entirely, Couldn't find any other application or fix to view through the phone. I did expect some downside or defect to the product being a cheap Chinese sourced product. Computer Software: Got it to work on Windows 10 laptop just fine. Came with a CD for install, but i could not read it. Just downloaded the software from their website. Ill keep it just because it was so cheap, and not worth the trouble to return and find a similar working model, but for anyone looking for similar application, i would recommend looking for another similar product. Quality: OK, can see small hairs, and barely visible bugs on plant (Mites, Russets, Insect Eggs, etc..) For diagnosing in the field it will work. I can tell whether the bugs are moving, or dead after spraying.
