USB Digital Microscope 40X to 1000X, 8 LED Magnification Endoscope Camera with Carrying Case & Metal Stand, Compatible for Android Windows 7 8 10 11 Linux Mac (Not for iPhone/iPad)

Pretty amazing little microscope when you consider the price. The first photo is at max magnification of the black space around George Washington on a 1 dollar bill, the other photo is of the same area on the bill but at the minimum magnification. pros. Cheapest one I could find, but does what I need it to do which is mostly to look at and identify insects. Setup on windows 10 was pretty easy although I was originally pretty confused by the usb connector which can be adapted to a micro-usb. Photo's are plenty clear enough for my purposes. Light also seems perfectly adequate for most uses. Considering the next step up would cost $100 dollars more, this is an excellent microscope to play around with and see if it will work for you. Cons. The stand that it comes with makes focusing extremely difficult, you will need to buy or rig a better one if you're going to use it at max zoom a lot, but if you're only using it at it's lower settings then the stand it comes with is fine. Also, there is a weird issue where when you're using the middle of it's zoom range the focus point is inside of the plastic light diffuser, meaning you can't focus on an object bigger than the diameter of that plastic piece because you have to actually put the thing you're focusing on up inside to get it close enough to the lens. Once you zoom in more, the focus point moves further away again and it's not an issue. Since I will mostly use the extremes of the range it's not an issue for me, but might be for some people. Finally, I wish all digital microscopes would find a better way to list their magnification, in case you're not aware the magnification that a digital microscope claims is not equivalent to what you would see on a regular microscope. I wish I had a regular microscope to compare but I do not, so the photos will have to do.

This is a great little USB microscope. I got this for doing astronomy outreach, as a tool to show fine detail in small meteorites. My wife loves it for examining tarantula exoskeletons to identify male vs female. I've used this for both Android and Windows 7. The packaging suggested a few Android apps to use, and I went with Xploview, which also has a desktop version to use on my laptop. I did not need the included installation CD. The cable ends in a USB-C connection but includes an adapter for both micro-USB and USB-A. The cable includes a dimmer switch for the built-in lights. The only cons are pretty minor - the sensor is only 640x480, so you're not taking HD photographs, but it's great when you're trying to pull detail out of something too small to see. Even on a big monitor it was a hit at the outreach event I displayed my meteorites at. The only other disadvantage is if you're looking at a glossy target at low-magnification, the reflection of the LEDs can cause some glare. I overcame this with by mounting a flashlight from the side to get indirect light. The software I found automatically adjusts exposure, which can be inconvenient if the background and your target vary widely in contrast. But it isn't a problem if you're looking at magnification high enough that you only see your target. I've included a few photos of my meteorites I took with this.

Works well, but the stand broke after second use. I would recommend it, just purchase a different stand.

Purchased 02/2020. Review 08/2021. Holding up okay. Wish I got the wireless one. It's a neat toy and I recommend it. It does not replace a real microscope, obviously. Resolution is terrible. But it gets the job done. 1000x zoom claim is laughable. I expected that to be the case, but a little disappointed with the final results. Even using a proper stand with it, the best I can get is about 30x-340x magnification. (Screen width / measured size of field of view at magnification = magnification multiplier) Meaning at best zoom I can put 10.25 0.1mm squares of the measuring card on the screen. With the picture on monitor being 34.925cm wide with 1025um of squares displayed across it, that's 340.73x magnification. With the stand, I can get 30.37x minimal magnification, which is great honestly, I wish magnification went even lower. Okay, so what can you see? Well, an onion skin cell (~200um) on a prepared slide with dye shows up good. Can even see a dot of a nucleus. A human skin cell (~30um) is a dot at most. Can't really see much on the cellular level. Great for hunting nematodes and tardigrade, facial mites, whatever. When you have to start measuring things in less than 100's of micrometers/microns, things you would normally hit 400x magnification with, this toy that claims 1000x but really gets about 340x isn't quite going to cut it. Pics: - 1) Scale of the boxes. - 2) At 340x (boxes=0.1mm) - 3) at 30x (lines=0.5mm). Picture on screen was 34.925cm wide. 640x480 resolution on the pics, not that great. Some of the LEDs went out since I got it. Understandable on such a cheap thing. Think I'll get the wireless version as a replacement before too long. So, there's some real numbers for you guys that might be considering buying this. Hey, it is a really fun little thing. I've used the heck out of it. It's super handy for lots of things. It isn't as powerful as it claims to be, but it works. It's cheap. It's fun.

I recently found myself to have both the time and renewed interest in "Cherry Picking" pocket change in the hopes of finding that "Million Dollar Coin" I realize my chances of winning the lottery are probably just about as good but at least this way I can still "cash in" all my losers for face value and seem to have more fun playing the "game" When the bug hit me, all I had at my disposal was an old plastic lenses, 2X Loupe. Quickly I realized that was woefully inadequate and began searching for something better. First as the 20X loupe. Awesome but very limiting and going back and forth between the two loupes often gave me motion sickness and horrible neck and head pains. I shopped around and bought and returned many items before I started looking into both standard and digital microscopes. Being on a fixed income, most of what I saw was well out of my price range to try and justify spending for a "maybe" hobby. I just was unable to take such risky leap into the unknown. When I came across the "bysameyee" USB Microscope with included case and stand for only $21.95 I eventually came to the decision to just go ahead and order it. This really was just such a great entry level price point and although I did see some unfavorable reviews regarding the stand, I have no regrets. What I like about "bysameyee" is it is everything they claim it to be. Their Software is very easy (and free) to use. Specific uploads for specific devices, I was quickly and easily able to get the scope to hook up to my Android phone,(which I can connect wirelessly to my 52" T.V) My Chrome book and Win 8.1 Laptop, also connectable to the TV. NO issues whatsoever. The Microscopes cable offers regular USB style with a nice little flip up connector end that fits your phone and an additional 3rd style separate adapter piece that I have not needed but have just in case. Both the "Amcap" and the "Cooling Tech" software's are easy to use. Mostly I just use the "Amcap" photo capture s.w. on the laptop. In the "options" tab of that s.w. , you can go into the "video capture filter" tab where you can enable zoom function or leave that off and select different "filter" options which can be very helpful, especially with newer "shiny" coins. What I don't like: Not much really, I was expecting it to be less than more and I just don't think I have any reason to be dissatisfied with my purchase. So where is it' limitations? First you will read up that the stand "sucks"... For what I am doing, I have found it can be difficult to get it focused under higher magnifications just because is so light, just thinking about the focus can cause it to wiggle. What I do is set it where like you see in the pics, the most of the coin I can see at once is probably seen best with the "AMER" photo, I put the edge of my laptop so it rests on the base of the scopes stand, then I use a piece of paper to slide the coins around under the lenses. The LED lights are really only on or off, not much of a graduation there but I can elect to turn off the LED's and direct sunlight or other light source when needed. One thing that can be difficult to determine sometimes is doubling due to reflection of shiny, well plated coins. One trick I quickly found was to view the same suspect areas from different angles. Viewed from one direction you might think you see doubling but as you shift the viewing angle you will see the reflections shift. Also, the 20x loupe is another quick way to double check what you thought was going to be the big one. This get's easier to deal with and recognize with a little practice. You can see in the pics, especially with well circulated samples, there is more than enough detail and depth to quickly spot any errors or differences. Now this is NOT a 5mp or better scope, so sometimes it can be difficult to actually get down "into" some of the cracks and crevices, especially with trying to use the light weight stand BUT I didn't buy this for the stand and the manufacturer does offer a big discount on a better stand, that if they had included initially, would have driven up the price point beyond what I may have been willing to pay. I wanted an "entry level" digital scope at a reasonable price and am very pleased with what I received. If you have any interest in digital scopes but are unsure about just how much scope you really need, I highly recommend giving this one a try, and get the one with the case too, I think that was maybe $2 more but it sure comes in handy holding more than just the scope. NOW, while this may NOT be the $500 plus microscope that one day I hope to trade for some penny I find , this is the scope I will find that penny with! Lastly, Customer Service: Awesome! I only contacted them to inquire about their Big Discount offer on the Better stand. Terrence happened to be on vacation initially but still got back to me in a timely enough fashion that I truly expect would be even quicker for the next person. Also, sometimes it can be difficult with language barriers when trying to read directions or communicate in person, NOT HERE. One thing I was particularly impressed with, was the super simple and no nonsense user guide. Nice job guy's, I use to have redline digital product user guides before...... It took my company 6 pages to describe how to remove a battery door cover and install 3 batteries even though it was shown in raised plastic lettering on the units battery door and compartment??? Sincerely, "future millionaire" Andy C :-)

This won't plug into my phone while it's in a case, and I'm not taking the case off my phone every time I want to use the microscope. Microsoft blocked the driver on Windows 11 so it's not usable on the computer, either. Sure, it'll technically work on the computer just as a webcam, but none of the features work and it won't focus at any length between physical contact and 3 feet away. Then when I tried to uninstall the app, it removed my actual webcam, so now I can't use facial recognition for Windows Hello until I reinstall everything and set it up again.

I needed a digital microscope to assay mineral samples. My budget was for a scope under $50. I noted other positive reviews for the Bysameyee USB Digital Microscope, so I thought why not? I received the scope and the packaging was professional and scope was in good shape with no damage. Included a softcase to store the scope while not in use. I'm a Linux user and one requirement was compatibility with Ubuntu. I connected the scope via the provided USB cable and followed directions to use with Cheese, an app integrated with Ubuntu. The scope worked with my Ubuntu PC the first time I plugged it in. The picture quality is good although limited to 640x480. The LED are bright and make for good image lighting and contrast. The documentation says the scope zoom button does not work on Linux but I did not find that as an issue since there is a manual zoom dial which works across the 40x to 1000x range. I also tested with my Samsung Android Galaxy phone, and the scope works with the OTG Camera app from Play store. Worked the first time I connected to my phone via the provided USB-C adapter. Overall for the low-cost this is a good value!

This is the second microscope I purchased on Amazon. This one is much more reliable than the first, from a different seller. What is truly amazing is the quality of the image ! Be careful if you look at your skin with the microscope ! If you are older like me, you will really see your flaky, wrinkly skin. I do electronic work and use it to inspect solder joints, etc. You can also use this microscope you inspect your jewelry. In win10 you do not need to install the software as win10's camera app will allow you to use this microscope, but all of the features not available with the camera app. The AmCap software is easy to install, in fact the same software works with various other cameras I have as well, like my dash cams & security cameras. Taking pictures and videos with AmCap are also easy. Installing AmCap allows you to easy access to all of the features of this microscope. Instead of using the software included on the mini-CD I suggest downloading for the latest veron of AmCap, check out [noeld dot com] for latest version, currently 9.23 . Free AmCap is a trial version that has some minor restrictions, ie. only records 15 minutes of video & still pictures have watermarks overlaid. I really enjoy using this microscope, it is amazing to see the micro-world !
