Product Description
Experiment in a whole new way with the Elecrow portable USB digital microscope. Capable of magnifying up to 500 times, it comes with a 2.4-inch HD display with a 640-by-480 resolution for a clearer look under the lens Read More
Got mine, and it's kinda nice for the price point. Works with Windows 10 built in camera app and has a built in battery as well.
All in all, not bad at all.
I think the more serious/useful version for those who need a scope to solder SMTs (which is presumably why many of us in the DIY community care) is going to either be a binocular or trinocular (allows a camera) on a boom, such as an AmScope. Soldering via a camera adds too much latency, but it is useful for inspection after the fact. Sure it's $400+ but you'll be set for the rest of your life...
Couple of points:
-As noted, Resolution is probably more important than Magnification (there's Big, and there's Big you can actually see.
-The device needs a way to connect directly to a computer (wirelessly or otherwise) to be truly useful.
This would be fun to take on short hiking trips to investigate different natural small wonders like lichen and to see what's living in the water. I have no experience with microscopes and not sure if this one is worth the $
Recognizing the low resolution, anyone using this with their kids? I don’t need to see individual bacteria but if I can show my kids fine details in plants, insects, household items etc that will be worth the low price.
Hey I just received my microscope but I'm having difficulty installing it. Can someone please assist me? I'm running Windows 7 and when I open Amcap, I think I'm supposed to see Devices>GENERAL-UVC but all I see is integrated camera (which is my webcam). Umm kinda stumped here so any help would be appreciated!
