Digital Portable Android USB Microscope Otoscope Endoscope Inspection Camera with 10-200X Magnifier for Kids, Student, Household, Support Mac Windows PC Android

This scope is much better in my experience than some of the girthier but not as long scopes sold on Amazon. The other I used didn't have a true zoom over the listed range but had few large steps and also used its focus to simulate magnification. This is more user friendly and higher resolution then the other. It is made of metal, which I like, and is easier to adjust in its included mount. Everything about its system is sturdier. It can also be used to other, maybe odd, jobs. This will fit into most firearms barrels (be careful to not scratch the rifling or the muzzle crown) to check for rust fouling or pitting. It can be used as a scope to check ears or nostrils or other orifices (if you're daring and don't mind using disinfectant afterwards). It does have an adjustable light. Overall much nicer than my previous experiences with small digital microscopes.

As far as I can tell this is identical to the Teslong USB microscope (The Windows driver identifies the scope as Teslong).The Short Version:This scope is definitely worth the money, but it has a couple of flaws that could be deal breakers depending on how you want to use it. If what you want is a really powerful magnifying glass that lets you take pictures, you'll be happy. If you really want a 200x optical microscope for looking at various microorganisms, you'll be disappointed.The Long Version:The Bad:1) My biggest complaint with this scope is the focus knob. The focus knob is part of the microscope body, which means that twisting the knob makes the camera lens wobble even if you have the microscope base tightened down as much as possible. This makes it extremely difficult to make fine focus adjustments, particularly at higher magnifications.2) The lights around the camera lens make it nearly impossible to get good pictures of glossy material due to the reflections. I can't really blame the scope for this problem since it's due to physics--if the light source and the camera are very close together, you are going to have a lot of reflections and backscatter. The easiest solution is to use a separate light source, like a small flashlight.3) Even though the scope is waterproof, it is almost useless underwater. The problem is that the camera lens is recessed into the barrel of the microscope by several millimeters. Thus, whenever you submerge the scope, you trap an air bubble against the lens that completely distorts your view. You can get rid of the bubble if you work at it, but it is difficult.4) I question the claim of 200x magnification. This is not a replacement for a conventional 200x microscope (but it's still impressive).The Good:1) Since this is basically just a webcam you can plug it into practically any phone, computer, or tablet and it works flawlessly.2) The combination standard/micro USB plug is genius.3) The picture quality is excellent4) The integrated lights are handy for tight spaces (just don't expect beautiful pictures)

I bought this just because it looked cool. I have absolutely no use for it. BUT, IT REALLY IS VERY COOL. I have a young daughter who is into science and stem, so I am always looking for ways to encourage her interests, and I bought her a different computer microscope for her laptop, which worked pretty well. I saw this one, and the specs were pretty impressive for the price, and the design is simply beautiful. It really looks nice on the desk.It works really well, though. The magnification and picture quality are very impressive. And, it is much more useful than I thought. It works great for any task that requires extreme detail work. Need to remove a tiny splinter? Much better than my reading glasses!

I did the math and the optical magnification goes from infinity down to 95x. I cannot get the item to focus at a higher magnification so it is definitely not a full 200x. at 95 x the field of view is right about 1/16" The picture resolution is a low 0.3MP (640x480). resolution on phone was actually higher on my S5 at 1786x1005 or just less than 2MP. The light dial goes low and then suddenly off rather than dimming, a supplemental light will help in this case. I used a free microscope program at science4all(dot)NL... but the app worked on my phone, no frills there with the app.

Very cool little tool & toy. Wish there was indication of what zoom power is.

The media could not be loaded. Kindly given to me to review I wasn't really sure what to expect from this little USB microscope. What I got was a whole load of geeking out as being able to see things close up!In the box you get the microscope, a small stand, various adapters and a user guide.The stand holds the microscope in place and makes it much easy to see items clearly, you can see in the video when I held the microscope the slightest movement was massively magnified.The microscope has LED lights around the camera and the brightness can be adjusted via an inline control. You change the focus by twisting the end cap and in a brilliant bit of design the USB plug can be used with both PC and mobiles.You get the same sort of functionality on both PC and mobile: a real time view and the ability to take photos and videos.I'm going to experiment further with the photo option as it should allow for some really interesting shots you can't get with a mobile.Really cool bit of kit, as a kid I'd have loved this...as an adult I still love it, I just don't have the school holidays off to play with it!

Does not work on my Samsung s7 edge. Followed all of the directions listed on the site and that came with the device. And yes my device is OTG capable. I have tried all of the apps suggested and the camera is never registered on my phone.

Hard to use, hand held to get the right distance to focus was a challenge
