Review on πŸ”¬ High-powered USB 2.0 800x Inverted Digital Optical USB Microscope for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android (2MP, True 800x Magnification) by Josh Goldsmith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really huge bang for the buck!

While this microscope is not a $10,000 lab quality instrument, it is more than adequate for students and DIY enthusiasts. The direct substage lighting and backlighting are great. Focus is a little touchy, but once you achieve it, the image is stable and clear. Plugable doesn't mention Linux in its product description, but Microscope works great with ucview, ffplay, mplayer, vlc and maybe more. Attached are some photomicrographs I took with this scope.

Pros
  • TRANSMISSION AND REFLEXION - Inverted microscope for viewing larger objects such as cultures in Petri dishes or metallurgical samples. Built-in dimmable LED lighting above and below the stage for reflected and transmitted light modes.
Cons
  • Some Problems
