No more squinting. No more trying to position an object directly under a table lamp. This area just works. Being able to take a photo of an image for later reference or documentation is just the icing on the cake. If I had one complaint, it would be that the…

The photos and resolution are amazing! But the zoom is so narrow that it's not designed for soldering or PCB inspection. However, it is well suited for close-up inspection of circuit boards. I tried a macro lens but it was blurry around the edges. I ended up 3D printing my own 100mm tube extension to solve the depth of field issue. The 100mm extension worked a million times better than the macro lens. I saw another user video on youtube of it attached to an articulated telescopic mic and light…

After months of agony at not having a better microscope and not being able to make up for the loss of over $600 for one more expensive interchangeable lens/AF camera setup + to justify Barlow lens, I decided to buy this one as it seemed to cover all my needs and some of my desires.
