Pros:
- image is clear and Zoom can be adjusted with the dial for clarity
- capture software/drivers were easy to install from the website
- software allows for view and image capture
- LED light can be adjusted using a dial on the USB cable
- Very low price compared to other similar microscopes
Cons:
- Hardware snapshot button works... but with the included mount the microscope will definitely move, requiring you to readjust. I recommend only using the screenshot button in the software, instead.
- Software automatically starts when starting Windows 10 and I couldn't find an option in the software setting to disable it, so I had to do it manually through Windows task manager.
- The driver software worked without issue in Windows 10, but I had some trouble on Ubuntu 20.04 using the recommended guvcview capture software. The hardware dial would always cause the software to hang. There are other recommended capture software packages for Linux distributions, but I did not try them, maybe they work better.
What I received looks pretty much identical to the original product I received, right down to the erroneously labeled "40x - 1000x" focus knob. However they did make several improvements.
- Windows 10 support - the biggest bugbear I had with the microscope to start with was the absolute chore it was to get it to work with Windows 10. It's now completely plug-and-play in Windows 10. As a bonus it's also plug-and-play in Fedora 29.
- The brightness control works better
- The focus knob turns a little easier but is still smooth
- The stand, while it looks identical to the one I received before, is actually a little heavier and sturdier and it's now possible to adjust the focus without completely losing your subject.
- They've also included a little "calibration" card with measurements so you can see exactly how much magnification you're getting at any given setting.
- The instructions have been greatly improved and expanded - adding clear, illustrated troubleshooting steps and even explaining how to use it with Windows 10
It's still a tiny 640x480 sensor (which is less than 1/3 of a megapixel for reference) but other than the item name, it no longer makes claims of being "high definition" or treating the "digital zoom" as though it was actually an increase in magnification.
All in all I've been inspired to add two stars back to my review. +1 star for updating the hardware/firmware so that it's plug-and-play with Windows 10, and +1 star for fixing the instructions. The only reason this isn't now a 5-star review is that the item name still claims that you can get up to 1000x magnification which is still completely misleading.
My Original Review Below:
The main draw of this microscope is that it's cheap and it technically works. The price is the only reason it's getting two stars instead of one.
Setting this up in Windows 10 was needlessly complicated. Given how utterly barebones this device is, there really is no excuse for it not being plug-and-play. Assuming you still have an optical drive in your PC you can use the disc it ships with to install the driver. If you don't have an optical drive, you can't (easily) go out and find the drivers to download. The seller doesn't publish the drivers, but they will send you a link to a Google drive location via email a day after the item arrives, or, I assume, upon request. The secret Google drive drivers and what's on the disc are exactly the same as far as I can tell (you're not getting a newer version of the drivers when you download them). When you install the driver it also installs a utility called "AMcap" which you're told to use to capture images and video. In Windows 10, AMcap only works right after a reboot and only for a limited amount of time. If you wait too long after a reboot it will give you some bogus message about not being able to create a filter or some such. If you manage to get it working right after a reboot, it will eventually crash with the same message. But since the thing is just a webcam with a macro lens, you can use the Windows Camera app built in to Windows 10 and it actually works pretty well - the seller should really think about just writing that in the brochure rather than encouraging you to fiddle around with the buggy AMcap utility.
They don't advertise it, but the maximum ACTUAL resolution of the camera is 640x480. You can try to use the digital zoom to pump this up, but it just scales the 640x480 in software - you get a bigger image but no actual increase in detail. This is super disappointing because it severely limits it's usefulness as a microscope. And also, where did they even find a photo sensor in such low resolution - that's hasn't been a video standard since the early 90's. This is beyond cheap. The "40 to 1000x" magnification claim evidently relies on several layers of digital zoom (which as I mentioned earlier doesn't capture a single spec of additional detail) in order to not be an outright lie. In truth 40x is all you're actually getting, and to get that you basically have to place the subject inside the plastic lens guard.
The stand the scope comes with is also technically functional but it literally moves if you breathe on it. Trying to turn the focus knob without completely losing the subject you're trying to magnify is an exercise in patience.
For the record, if the specifications had been communicated honestly I probably would have kept it as a toy, but since they were exaggerated in an arguably dishonest manner I'll be returning it.
The software, on the other hand - is awful. They say for Android (I have a Pixel 2XL) to get a handful of apps. I installed each of them - and could only get one to work. And it worked intermittently. I'd plug the camera in and I'd say like 10% of the time the app recognized the camera. That said, when it worked, it worked well.
Since the Android apps didn't work great - I decided to install the windows software. My laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so I used the link provided. It took me to a google drive link (sketchy) - which worked fine. Downloaded, installed, and it opened and picked up the camera immediately - and works perfectly fine.
MY MAIN BEEF is that after I installed the app - I keep getting a Windows message about there not being a default mail client installed. I don't know what the hell that's about - but I don't think the timing is a coincidence. I've ran malbytes anti-malware and windows defender, but it didn't pick anything up. I'm pretty sure the software installed a virus.
