This review is from: 400X USB 2MP Digital Microscope with Handsfree Stand for Education Industrial Biological Inspection"As seen on tv" quality item. Where to start... First of all, the 20x-400x is kind of a joke. My device only views 20x. Yes, it will zoom to 400x, however, the seemingly lack of a mechanical aperture creates a blurry mess. The zoom dial works by moving the lens closer; no other mechanical movements involved. Which leads to another disappointing feature. The zoom dial. The zoom marks start at roughly (-)200x. An accurate magnification is next to impossible. The dial is very touchy. So much so that if you remove your finger from it, like maybe to take a picture, the weight of the lens causes itself to drop closer to the object making the picture blurry. All in all you have about 1/2 a second to take a picture without holding the dial steady. Speaking of steadiness: it comes with a nice looking stand to hold everything in place. Once again, disappointed. The grip on the microscope becomes loose causing it to fall on the object with the slightest touch of the dial. It will hold it in place if no adjustments need to be made. Another "luxury" feature is the easy snap photo button on the microscope. The purpose is to take quick pictures without moving hands. Very novel idea. My issue is that it does not just take one picture. After 4-6 presses of the button I had 458 pictures. That adds up at just under 1mg each. The included software has no options to manage multiple picture selections. Organizing hundreds of pictures like that is not fun. I hope whoever uses this understands directories and common storage locations since it store them in "..appdata/local" and not "..program files." I was hoping the instruction manual had some advice for me. Shot down again. The first dozen pages describe what happens when the menu buttons are clicked. Not what they do, just what happens when you click the pull down menus. It was actually somewhat comical. To sum things up. I am disappointed. This product is something I would expect in the $9.99 aisle at the local drugstore. At that price I would have given 5 stars. As is: DO NOT PURCHASE. Maybe my device is faulty. Maybe. But after seeing that EVERY feature does not works as claimed, do YOU really want to take that chance? Mine is going to my 4 year old nephew. That is about that age range of this product. Good luck shopping!!...

This review is from: 400X USB 2MP Digital Microscope with Handsfree Stand for Education Industrial Biological InspectionThe microscope was really cheap made and it hardly magnifies anything. It was a waste of money for what I was needing it for. Now I have a scope that I cannot use because it is not strong enough. If you are looking for something that hardly magnifies than this is perfect... Total waste of money!!...

This review is from: 400X USB 2MP Digital Microscope with Handsfree Stand for Education Industrial Biological InspectionI have recently returned to collecting coinage as a hobby. When I was younger my eyesight was 20/20 and very good yet age has caught up with me and has made me aware I can't see a lot of things as well as I used to. I searched on this site for about three weeks on and off trying to determine what I would really want and be able to use for myself based upon the reviews that had been posted already. I rely heavily upon the reviews because they usually provide insight to potential issues I hadn't thought of. I made my decision on this item and I was really excited to get it once the decision had finally been made. The shipping of the item was quite quick and the microscope has functioned quite nicely ever since. I downloaded the software to my computer and plugged the microscope in. Voila, it worked. I have found that it does take a bit of time getting used to operating it yet everything takes time getting accustomed to how a device works. I am using it for home and hobby use with coins that are old and the microscope does very well for me to see clearly the coins I have. Having the option to, in essence, capture a picture of my coin is also a neat attribute. The lighting it has built into it works really well for my application and overall I would recommend this to any of my friends. It is not only useful but it is fun to use as well. I hope this will assist your decision making process. Peace to All......
