USB Microscope Camera 40X to 1000X, ByCainda Digital Microscope with Metal Stand & Carrying Case Compatible with Android Windows Linux Mac, Portable Microscope Camera for Kids Students Adults

Being a man over 60 and into electronics, swapping glasses all the time to see the tiny writing on components became a chore. searching the web I came across this microscope that seemed the answer as most of the time I would be sitting in front of a PC to use it. I wasn't sure what to expect for the very reasonable price, but wow was I surprised! it's perfect for what I want it for, easy to see the smallest details on a large screen and great for soldering small pins on a processor. Once you get the included stand set up it's good to go, the light is very bright and is adjustable, it's small size makes it easy to pack away in a very nice case when not needed which makes it very portable. Connectivity is good, the microscope will show up in Windows in the camera app so you can use it without installing further software. I'm very happy with the quality and it's made my hobby a lot easier. I would it.

This microscope works very well - I found it easy to set up and use. The stand slips a bit but you can get a better one from the company without further cost. A very good purchase. It is a good sturdy product and a good present for students also.Delivery was quick and the whole thing comes in a nice case.

This is a decent quality product, which is also reasonably priced. I think it is an inexpensive way to explore what a digital microscope can do for you. It will certainly serve that purpose well for me. It is supplied with the following: • a sturdy case • USB A to C adaptor • an adjustable stand • a printed instruction booklet • software on CD disc The USB A plug on the camera lead also contains an ingeniously concealed micro USB plug. There is also a brightness control in the lead, which controls how much light is projected onto the area that the microscope is scanning; more light does seem to enhance picture quality. The camera is well made and the focus control is easily adjustable. Unfortunately, the supplied stand lacks weight, which can cause the picture to jump about on screen when adjusting the focus slider. The size of print on the instruction booklet is on the small side, but I was still able to read it quite easily with my reading glasses. The the supplied software CD was a disappointment as each time I tried to install ‘Amcap’, the installation crashed. Downloading the software from the Cainda website resolved that problem. ‘Amcap’ worked fine on Windows 10 for pictures, see below, but I found getting good focus on video captures to be difficult although a more stable stand would probably help with this issue. I also managed to get decent pictures and good video capture using the Windows 10 Camera App, also see below. It might be worth mentioning that the camera input setting will need to be changed to use the digital microscope with the Windows Camera App. I managed to get the microscope to work on my Android phone using ‘USB Camera-Connect Easycap’, but this app is video capture only. The first and second pictures were taken with ‘Amcap’. The first is a ⅛ watt resistor, which is 1.5mm diameter and 3mm long. The second is a piece of writing paper and clearly shows the fibres in the surface of the paper. The third picture and the video capture were taken with the Window App. The picture is the surface of the “Enter” key on my keyboard.

REVIEW UPDATED: Had the scope a few days now. Even more impressed. If you contact https://caindahelp.com/download after purchase they will send you (free of charge) a fine adjust metal stand. This makes the microscope so, so much usable. I was struggling to find subject matter because it's the middle of winter and we have no insects around. I found a dried out fly left over from summer last year. Not ideal (desiccated and covered in dust etc). The fly was just under 4mm in total length. Photo 2 is a small section of one of it's legs ! Photo 3 is the bottom part of the @ symbol on the microscopes manual (see photo 4). 5 stars. Next purchase will be some preloaded slides I think. WOW! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Well, I ordered this microscope for my 10 year old Granddaughter and I'll be honest, I wasnt expecting much given the price. Boy! was I surprised. So easy to set up via the android and PC apps (One caveat, this model does not work with Apple IOS (surprise surprise) for that you will need the wi-fi version.) The unit is easy to use and the images are shown (LIVE) on your Phone/Tablet Screen. I was able to take my first image within 5 minutes of unboxing it. It's the tiny printed writing on the side of a Sharpie Pen. That's a first image straight out of the box and handheld. I'll post better ones to this review at a later date. Superb value for money and a toe dip into micro photography without breaking the bank.

It's extremely buggy, I bought it to amuse a child but it's unusable because it just doesn't work properly with my top of the range Pixel 9 XL. iPhone users need to note that it wont work with their phones, it does mention this in the description but it could do with being in large capital letters!

It is almost impossible to keep a steady image when adjusting focus or magnification. Totally useless for any real study of importance but fantastic as a novelty device or something to inspire interest in children, or to stoke your own fascination with the very small. This thing has a fantastic zoom so seeing tiny things in great detail is awesome. This connects to PC, Mac Books, android phones and iPhones. The only thing that really lets this down is the app; it's rubbish on the phones and none existant on the Mac (use inbuilt camera apps for the Mac). Basically, you can do what you need to but in a very very basic and poorly designed way. If the app or stability was better it'd be a solid 4 star rating. Sort the app and the stability of the device and you have a solid 5 star.

Update: Ive had this scope for a liitle while now. I use it almost daily to look for bugs on my plants (especially russet mites). I absolutly love this thing and cant believe I ever grew anything without it. For the price it can not beat beat. Taking pictures or video is easy and really great quality. If there was more stars on the rating this would be a 10 out of 10. I just took this little scope out of the, read directions to make it work on my android phone, plugged it in and instantly was looking at excellent quality video on my phone. I use otg view which setup perfectly and has fun functions. It came with a nice case and the dual mode usb cable is a great idea. Im very impressed with how easy this microscope is to setup and use, the picture quality, the focus feature and the light that you can dim. The stand is nice and solid too boot. If this thing breaks in a week I will still give it 5 stars for the price and everything else. I highly suggest this for anyone who needs to magnify anything. I guess Ill see how long it lasts.

الجهاز رائع في جودة التوضيح مع سهولة في التوصيل ان كان ب الهاتف المحمول او جهاز الكمبيوتر

Windows'ta kamera olarak otomatik olarak tanınıyor, driver yüklemeye gerek yok. Android için play store'daki herhangi bir usb kamera uygulaması ile çalışıyor. Ben Samsung Note 10 kullanıyorum, herhangi bir otg kablosuna ihtiyaç duymadan doğrudan type c ile kullanabildim.

A nice little unit that does what I bought it to do! The zoom is great! It took me a bit to reliably control the magnification levels I required but once I figured out how the holder moved it worked much better. The light is adjustable which allows you to remove any glare from intensity. I found the maximum illumination way too bright for any of my close up samples but really helps if the sample is further away. The picture quality is amazing just like adjusting on my camera based on depth or distance from lense. This is a good quality microscope/ digital camera. Definitely a good value for the money.

Ho comprato questo prodotto con poca fiducia in merito alle sue capacità ma devo dire che mi sono subito ricreduto. Sebbene la risoluzione massima di 640x480 ha comunque una capacità di ingrandimento che arriva fina a x1000. Testato per verificare la validità di alcune banconote sono addirittura riuscito a visualizzare la sfilacciatura della carta dove leggermente consumata. Consigliatissimo visto il prezzo.
