MEET EXPECTATIONS

Find a more powerful microscope, but the price will increase significantly if you change to another line of equipment, there is no medium term. Then this works great for the price.

Pros
  • HIGH RESOLUTION - 2.0 Mp, up to 800x magnification (Note: final magnification is the same as monitor size)
Cons
  • For old

I like that the magnification is strong enough for something that is .

I like that the zoom is quite strong, up to 5 microns. Detail and clarity are beautiful. The video is also fun if you have animated cells or microorganisms.

Pros
  • WIDE COMPATIBILITY - Uses the webcam chipset and sensor to support virtually any operating system that uses standard webcam software. Oculus Rift users may need additional adjustment
Cons
  • Negative impression

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
