I have been working with light microscopes for almost 25 years and until recently found that adding a video or computer interface was usually quite cumbersome. Yes, it works fine (obviously), but setting it up usually takes some time and isn't always intuitive. Andonstar AD409 is actually very intuitive. In less than 5 minutes I took the microscope out of the box, focused it and looked at the samples on the screen. It is so easy to use that my 11 year old had no problem using it. - The LCD screen is surprisingly sharp. I expected more from a second-rate screen, but this one is sharp enough and bright enough to capture detail. - HDMI output for large screens - The two lights also look high-quality. They're easy to use and focus, but I don't see a lot of light artifacts and spectrum shifts from lights either. The built-in camera does an excellent job of preventing image blur caused by images that are too bright. how truly divine work. The magnification on the LCD screen is 300x, which is effective for many things. It has enough range to test solders, check dies, look for flaws and small patterns. But it also allows you to maintain a decent depth of field, so focusing isn't too much of a challenge. Final verdict - I'm really very impressed. A few years ago I bought a stereo microscope that was more than double the price of this one. My stereo microscope (unlike this one) can only be used optically, but using it digitally was a big problem. I think with the Andonstar AD409 I have found an inexpensive, well-designed microscope for a wide variety of purposes!
