Surprisingly good for the price [Mac]

The scope didn't impress me at first as most of the controls are somewhat hidden due to the lack of a printed manual. A little play and a look at the FAQ revealed most of what I needed, but the lack of actual instructions would cost one star as it should have been included. I was a bit nervous about the quality of the material when I bought it, but I was pleasantly surprised. The suction cup is strong enough to withstand the force of a grown man when grasped, but is easily removed when theโ€ฆ

Great for dozens of exam papers, works great with Raspberry Pi!

VERY sharp full resolution image. As mentioned in the manual and other reviews, it's very easy to use and focus - but magnification depends on distance and focus knob (both) - so for a mega close-up, bring the microscope closer to the object yourself, and use the *second* focal length closest to the + side of the dial. I started with a 'further' zoom/focus, which I believe is a maximum of 50x, and took an initial overview shot and then zoomed in to get the details. Touch button to be moreโ€ฆ

  • USB Microscopes

Worth a try! best usb microscopes

Looking for a cheap entry level USB digital microscope I found thousands for sale at Revain. I read many reviews and finally decided to try Plugable Digital Microscope. Here's what I found. At $35 I certainly wasn't expecting the quality or performance of the Dino-Lite, but I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Plugable is made entirely of plastic, but looks quite high quality. Setting up and installing the software was easy. Drivers and software are not included, but are referenced in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • camera and photo
Cons
  • when in doubt
