USB Microscope Camera 40X to 1000X, Digital Microscope with Metal Stand & Carrying Case Compatible with Android Windows Linux Mac, Portable Microscope Camera for Students Adults

Being a man over 60 and into electronics, swapping glasses all the time to see the tiny writing on components became a chore. searching the web I came across this microscope that seemed the answer as most of the time I would be sitting in front of a PC to use it. I wasn't sure what to expect for the very reasonable price, but wow was I surprised! it's perfect for what I want it for, easy to see the smallest details on a large screen and great for soldering small pins on a processor. Once you get the included stand set up it's good to go, the light is very bright and is adjustable, it's small size makes it easy to pack away in a very nice case when not needed which makes it very portable. Connectivity is good, the microscope will show up in Windows in the camera app so you can use it without installing further software. I'm very happy with the quality and it's made my hobby a lot easier. I would it.

This is a decent quality product, which is also reasonably priced. I think it is an inexpensive way to explore what a digital microscope can do for you. It will certainly serve that purpose well for me. It is supplied with the following: • a sturdy case • USB A to C adaptor • an adjustable stand • a printed instruction booklet • software on CD disc The USB A plug on the camera lead also contains an ingeniously concealed micro USB plug. There is also a brightness control in the lead, which controls how much light is projected onto the area that the microscope is scanning; more light does seem to enhance picture quality. The camera is well made and the focus control is easily adjustable. Unfortunately, the supplied stand lacks weight, which can cause the picture to jump about on screen when adjusting the focus slider. The size of print on the instruction booklet is on the small side, but I was still able to read it quite easily with my reading glasses. The the supplied software CD was a disappointment as each time I tried to install ‘Amcap’, the installation crashed. Downloading the software from the Cainda website resolved that problem. ‘Amcap’ worked fine on Windows 10 for pictures, see below, but I found getting good focus on video captures to be difficult although a more stable stand would probably help with this issue. I also managed to get decent pictures and good video capture using the Windows 10 Camera App, also see below. It might be worth mentioning that the camera input setting will need to be changed to use the digital microscope with the Windows Camera App. I managed to get the microscope to work on my Android phone using ‘USB Camera-Connect Easycap’, but this app is video capture only. The first and second pictures were taken with ‘Amcap’. The first is a ⅛ watt resistor, which is 1.5mm diameter and 3mm long. The second is a piece of writing paper and clearly shows the fibres in the surface of the paper. The third picture and the video capture were taken with the Window App. The picture is the surface of the “Enter” key on my keyboard.

This microscope works very well - I found it easy to set up and use. The stand slips a bit but you can get a better one from the company without further cost. A very good purchase. It is a good sturdy product and a good present for students also.Delivery was quick and the whole thing comes in a nice case.

REVIEW UPDATED: Had the scope a few days now. Even more impressed. If you contact https://caindahelp.com/download after purchase they will send you (free of charge) a fine adjust metal stand. This makes the microscope so, so much usable. I was struggling to find subject matter because it's the middle of winter and we have no insects around. I found a dried out fly left over from summer last year. Not ideal (desiccated and covered in dust etc). The fly was just under 4mm in total length. Photo 2 is a small section of one of it's legs ! Photo 3 is the bottom part of the @ symbol on the microscopes manual (see photo 4). 5 stars. Next purchase will be some preloaded slides I think. WOW! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Well, I ordered this microscope for my 10 year old Granddaughter and I'll be honest, I wasnt expecting much given the price. Boy! was I surprised. So easy to set up via the android and PC apps (One caveat, this model does not work with Apple IOS (surprise surprise) for that you will need the wi-fi version.) The unit is easy to use and the images are shown (LIVE) on your Phone/Tablet Screen. I was able to take my first image within 5 minutes of unboxing it. It's the tiny printed writing on the side of a Sharpie Pen. That's a first image straight out of the box and handheld. I'll post better ones to this review at a later date. Superb value for money and a toe dip into micro photography without breaking the bank.

It is almost impossible to keep a steady image when adjusting focus or magnification. Totally useless for any real study of importance but fantastic as a novelty device or something to inspire interest in children, or to stoke your own fascination with the very small. This thing has a fantastic zoom so seeing tiny things in great detail is awesome. This connects to PC, Mac Books, android phones and iPhones. The only thing that really lets this down is the app; it's rubbish on the phones and none existant on the Mac (use inbuilt camera apps for the Mac). Basically, you can do what you need to but in a very very basic and poorly designed way. If the app or stability was better it'd be a solid 4 star rating. Sort the app and the stability of the device and you have a solid 5 star.

I have no idea how this piece of junk got so many positive reviews. It is a complete waste of money, which is why I returned it immediately. I star because it at least switched on.

Highly recommend! I just plugged the USB into my Windows 11 PC, opened the Camera app, and it worked instantly. It’s an amazing tool for stamp collecting; the clarity and magnification are top-notch.

I must say that this piece of equipment is quite impressive. Even though it is very cheap it does not lack the quality feel one would expect from a far pricier piece of equipment. It's only failing is the stand which is too light weight to hold the microscope steady - but Cainda do offer a free metal stand to Amazon customs if requested. The optical magnification is perfect for my purposes and the backlight can be controlled to illuminate the item being inspected. The digital zoom is also quite impressive, and trying it out demonstrated that this is a solid item. All in all I am really quite impressed with the equipment and would recommend it for any one interested in working on printed circuit boards, phones and watches.

Die Kamera ist sehr leicht zu bedienen und die Bilder sprechen für sich. Als Hobbyfotograf habe ich schon lange mit dem Gedanken gespielt, neben herkömmlichen Makroaufnahmen auch mal etwas "Mikroskopie Fotografie" zu betreiben. Da ich erst einmal schauen wollte was es so gibt, viel meine Wahl auf diese Kamera. Ich war völlig vorurteilsfrei von bisherigen Rezensionen und bestellte die Kamera. Kann nichts schiefgehen für das Geld. Da für mich nur eine Bildwiedergabe am PC in Frage kommt, habe ich erst gar nicht versucht irgendeine APP auf dem Handy zu installieren. Kamera ausgepackt - USB verbunden - fertig. Ohne Installations CD oder Treiber aus dem Netz zu installieren. Sie wurde von meinem PC sofort erkannt und es konnte losgehen. Absolut kein Problem. Die Schärfe lässt sich gut regulieren und auch das eingebaute Ringlicht ist stufenlos in der Helligkeit anzupassen. Das Einzige was mir etwas missfällt ist der Original Standfuß der Kamera. Er ist sehr leicht und bei jeder Bewegung ruckelt es ganz schön. Da ich aber auch viel selbst bastele habe ich mir einen festeren Stand gebaut, der auch stufenlos regulierbar ist um scharfe Bilder zu erzeugen. Also abgesehen von dieser kleinen Modifikation kann ich über die eigentliche Kamera nichts negatives sagen. Sicherlich gibt es auch weit aus teurere Geräte. Aber jeder soll für sich selbst entscheiden, welche Ansprüche er hat. Sicherlich werde ich mich auch später einmal nach etwas Höherwertigen umschauen. Aber bis jetzt bin ich voll zufrieden und habe Spaß daran, kleine Dinge mal ganz anders zu betrachten.

Update: Ive had this scope for a liitle while now. I use it almost daily to look for bugs on my plants (especially russet mites). I absolutly love this thing and cant believe I ever grew anything without it. For the price it can not beat beat. Taking pictures or video is easy and really great quality. If there was more stars on the rating this would be a 10 out of 10. I just took this little scope out of the, read directions to make it work on my android phone, plugged it in and instantly was looking at excellent quality video on my phone. I use otg view which setup perfectly and has fun functions. It came with a nice case and the dual mode usb cable is a great idea. Im very impressed with how easy this microscope is to setup and use, the picture quality, the focus feature and the light that you can dim. The stand is nice and solid too boot. If this thing breaks in a week I will still give it 5 stars for the price and everything else. I highly suggest this for anyone who needs to magnify anything. I guess Ill see how long it lasts.

الجهاز رائع في جودة التوضيح مع سهولة في التوصيل ان كان ب الهاتف المحمول او جهاز الكمبيوتر

Windows'ta kamera olarak otomatik olarak tanınıyor, driver yüklemeye gerek yok. Android için play store'daki herhangi bir usb kamera uygulaması ile çalışıyor. Ben Samsung Note 10 kullanıyorum, herhangi bir otg kablosuna ihtiyaç duymadan doğrudan type c ile kullanabildim.

Todo bien y funciona
