40 to 1000x Magnification Endoscope, 8 LED USB 2.0 Digital Microscope, Mini Camera with OTG Adapter Metal Stand, Compatible with Mac Windows 7 8 10 11 Android Linux Chrome Not for iPhone/iPad

This digital microscope is OUTSTANDING and very easy to use. The capability of this little technological tool is awesome and you would have paid several hundred dollars for this capability just few years ago.First off - I read a lot of the negative comments before buying and I attribute almost all of them to operator error, incompetence, or obsolete computer/phone equipment that they tried to connect with the camera.I read through the directions before starting to install the camera and while in need of some editing of the English, they were pretty clear and easy for me to understand.My laptop is a Dell with i5 processor, 8 gig of RAM, and Windows 10. I installed the drivers from the enclosed CD and they worked fine. It is not "Plug and Play", but you simply open the CD folder and click on "autorun.exe" then "setup" and then "install". Pretty easy even for this old guy. There was no need to load the "Dotnetfix" file mentioned in the directions because it is already in Windows 10.A lot of people mentioned the small stand in their negative reviews as being cheap and useless. Again, I believe this is 100% operator error because the stand works just fine. If you set it up correctly the camera is almost vertical in the stand and the camera is between you and the stand base. It DOES NOT tip over if you have it positioned this way.I attached a couple photos of a ballpoint pen and a bug that I took with no additional editing. The software has lots of editing options that I am still exploring. I also recorded a video of the bug as I moved it with a pen. The video file was too large to attach to this review, but this is an incredible capability to be able to shoot video of a microscopic image.Overall, I rate this microscope 5 Stars and plan to buy one for each of my grandchildren since this is truly an incredible scientific tool for a super low price.

I was surprised by the quality and ease of operation of this Jiusion microscope. Although I am not a numismatist, I've enjoyed looking at coins and bills under this microscope and look forward to viewing a few nature specimens as well. I used a conventional microscope at work years ago and, by comparison, find it more pleasurable to view an enlarged object on my computer monitor than directly through a microscope's ocular lens. With the zoom button, I achieved magnification of about 150X. To demonstrate this, I used a tape measure over the coin to demonstrate the width of a facial feature in mm. Then I magnified the image using the zoom button and measured the same facial feature on my monitor. The PX2325/AMCAP software was easy to install and use on my Windows 10 computer. My 6 and 12 year old grandchildren played with the microscope today, and both were fascinated. For those accustomed to using a traditional microscope: this scope does not have a coarse and fine adjustment, just a single wheel that serves both functions plus the zoom button, which provides 4 levels of magnification. I was not happy with the stand initially provided with this scope. On email request, Jiusion kindly sent me their superior new stand and carrying case. With the newer stand, the microscope is securely supported , and the user can attend to the image rather than balancing the scope. For the cost, I think this is an excellent product if the newer stand is included. My 5 star rating is based on the assumption that the seller will supply the newer stand with the microscope. Jiusion does provide a flexible, transparent, calibration ruler with the microscope. A few thin, clear, plastic disks that could serve as slides on which various specimens could be viewed under the microscope would also be an inexpensive and welcome addition to the package .

I purchased this light to look at the trichome development on my plants. If you know what trichomes are then.....well, you know what I am growing.Anyway, it does a pretty good job and is much better than other hand held scopes I have used in the past which did not have a USB connection of any kind so no pictures. Using this allows me to evaluate pictures and compare them to previous photos or share them with other growers - which is all very cool.That said, for my application it is very awkward to use based on the orientation of the controls and how they operate - which took some time to figure out. Apparently I am not the only one too since there have been a lot of questions posted about this little device regarding the apps to use with it, the operation of the device, compatibility with other devices, etc. I knew all that going in but considering the price, I figured it was worth the risk. What makes it awkward is having to hold my phone, which is a Galaxy6, and flower in one hand and use the scope with the other - which in itself is about a two hand operation. It is very easy to lose the sight picture when you just move your finger or thumb ever so slightly to push a button or move the zoom roller - or both, which is what is required to focus. So yeah.....awkward is an understatement.However, I don't think it was meant to be used in the fashion I am using it. Still, it could be designed a little better either way. I am using the OTG app which is recommended by the manufacturer. Again, not an ideal application, but it does the job once you figure out how to use it.UpdateI have been using it now for about a month and overall I am pretty pleased with it. Especially the last few days since I finally figured out how the controls work. (Starting to sense a theme here?) Specifically the zoom and focus operation. If you hold the focus button down and use the roller it adjusts the focus. So you zoom in first with the roller only, then hold the button and use the roller to focus at that magnification level. Not easy to do with one hand like I am using it, but it works great now that I figured this out. Suffice is to say it's a bit tricky. However, it does a nice job of magnification. I think 1000x is a bit of an exaggeration. I don't know that for sure, but it's more than adequate for my purposes and much better than the 100x jeweler loops and other basic models I have used before.The picture quality is surprisingly good. I am not sure on the resolution, but based on the size of the pictures I would guess 640x480 which is fine. They are in PNG format which is not ideal, but I was able to download a free batch file converter so no big deal there.Taking all that into consideration and factoring in the price, I think a four star rating is about right and I can recommend it for anyone looking for a scope to evaluate trichomes. I have not used it for anything else, but I suspect it could be used for many applications and probably a lot easier when you can use both hands to operate it.
