Review on 🔬 ESSLNB Microscope for Adults Students 2000X Binocular Compound Microscope: Enhanced Viewing with Phone Adapter and X-Y Mechanical Stage by John Salleh

While testing this unit I found that the remote control cable is broken. Once connected to the LCD screen, the device will not be powered. It looks like the connector on the LCD is not working properly. If I wiggle the connector and hold it in that position with my hand, I can use the remote control, but only while holding the connector, otherwise it will disconnect and the LCD will turn off. I think the PCB connector is causing the remote control issue. This is bad because not only does the remote not work, but the bottom lights on the base don't light up because the remote wire controls the power. Another problem is that without a fully functional cable, camera functions such as video recording, zoom, playback and other functions will not work. Even if the remote control cable is NOT connected, the LCD screen will turn on and work, BUT... The LCD screen does not have all available settings, such as: B. a remote control. Using on a Windows 10 PC: If you are having the issues described above, the workaround for this remote cable is to connect the USB cable to your Win 10 PC without the remote cable connected. Turn on the device using the switch on the front LCD panel and select the option to connect to "PC Camera" on the LCD screen. From here, open the "Camera app” in Windows 10 and the device will either capture live images or live videos and you will save them to your computer. You don't need to use the AMCap software that comes on a small CD. I would advise never to use it as it is an outdated version (3.09). If you are using an anti-reflective coating, be careful when removing the clear plastic lens cover to avoid damaging the scope. Gently pull and tilt down, then attach the chrome anti-glare cover. The instruction manual is so small that I needed a magnifying glass to read it. It's also poorly written to build. I always look for good quality and enjoy high ratings for products when they deserve it, but I would not recommend this item. Thing.
