 Awesome August 25, 2009

Ordered this from ACE, and of course I couldn't wait and paid for the 1 day shipping. This thing is great! You can adjust several display options. I collect coins and this is a great tool for getting great pictures. I am very happy with the purchase and recommend it for anyone thinking of using it for coins or what ever. I will try to add a picture of a coin if I can (my first attempt at taking a picture). For the price, it can't be beat!! Very easy to use also.
great for the field November 8, 2009

I took this and a rugged (2goPC) netbook on a 5 day Geology Field trip. I stored the microscope in a soft cloth bag inside a Nalgene water bottle. This way, I can keep the microscope in my day pack, and not worry about damaging it. The base does not fit into the water bottle, so I detach it and store it separate. The body is pretty rugged, and the lens and LEDs are recessed. The place I'd expect a failure, would be where the USB cable enters the body of the microscope. Be careful you don't kink the cable here.
It seems to have two focal lengths related to distance from the object. One at about 10x, the other about 400x. It's great for looking at grain structures of rock samples. The rocks I had were not going to come home on the airplane, but I have close up pics, and pics of friends rocks too. The internal LED lights make this easy to use.
When you've collected a pic, look at the magnification on the body of the microscope. Double click on the picture on the side-bar of the microscope software. When the picture opens up in the picture editor, enter the magnification into the box provided in the upper right corner of the picture editor. Now, you can use the software measurement tool in the picture editor to measure structures (and save the measurements) on the picture. Be sure you save the picture to your "My Pictures" folder.
My son found a small but very ugly bug, the microscope software has video capture capability, and we were able to capture a video of the bug (turned over) trying to right himself.
My son also took some really cool pictures of candy wrappers and pea-cock feathers at 400x.
The actual lens is shielded by the outer clear plastic ring, and it's easy to just press the microscope against your object to view, focus, snap a pic. I don't use the base stand much. After a few tries, you can operate the microscope with one hand. There is a button to capture a picture, or click on the PC.
The only down-side I have, is the lens cap does not fit tightly. I plan to add a thin bead of silicon sealer to the edge of the lens cap. But I'm glad that the lens cap does have an eye for a string to tie it to something.
So much fun! November 19, 2009

Just a quicky because others have the details down perfectly (See Paul Clifford's review).
The microscope arrived a few weeks ago and I've been logging several hours a day on it.
This is a really fun product. I've been taking stills and videos of everything I can get my hands on. I even bought a digital picture frame to show the videos off with.
Video at more than 640x480 gets a bit choppy on my old laptop, newer ones may do better.
400x magnification is hard to use but simply astounding.
And now these are under $60? Get one!
Great scope May 15, 2010

Works great. Built great. Even packaged great.
Not going to find a better unit anywhere close to this price.
Buy IT!

Well built, wonderful technology, easy to use, handy size. It makes an image of the magnification on the PC and can do video as well. I have yet to learn how to do measurements, but it will be useful for my work with maps and reading tiny text and symbols. It will be wonderful to put it to use especially in having the ability to print what I have magnified.
