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)

Edit: The seller reached out about the microscope and fully refunded and sent me a new one. I appreciate them backing up their product. I still think it's a pretty cool thing for an inexpensive price. I'm pretty sure I got a used one so leaving 2 stars. Wasnt boxed, just the carrying case with my other orders and there were lil specs inside the scope. I didn't want to deal with an exchange so I cleaned with an alcohol wipe. Other than that pretty cool scope for a lil over $20. I used it to check my scalp since I've been dealing with some hair loss. I wanted to see if I could see any new hairs from starting minoxidil. Pretty easy to use. I downloaded the OTG view app, used the cable and usb-c adaptor plugged directly into my phone and it worked right away.

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 is a decent entry-level digital microscope, for the price. I bought it to examine coins in greater detail, but I was about to return it due to zoom features not working for Mac users. However, I managed to find a workaround (explained below) to manually adjust zoom and it’s now suitable for my purposes, so I’m keeping it. Some pros: I have a MacBook Air (intel chip, if that matters) and it was plug and play. It works with PhotoBooth as well as the app available on the seller’s website, but I haven’t played enough with them to notice any differences. The carrying case is nice and seems rigid enough to bring with on travel (looking forward to snooping through my relatives’ coin collections). There is a dimmer dial on the cord so you can adjust the brightness of the LED lights. Images are clear once focused and you can see enough detail on coins to identify errors. Some cons: Zoom button doesn’t work for Mac users, so I couldn’t zoom out enough to view the entire coin (fixed via workaround, explained below!) 40-1000x is laughable (Despite what other reviewers have claimed, you’re not gonna see bacteria or skin cells. Even hair strands aren’t really magnified enough to see anything cool. It’s good for bugs, coins, fingerprints, and fine print.) As others have mentioned, the zoom dial is really just a fine focus dial. Stand is flimsy and it experienced an immediate RUD but was easily reassembled (although if you visit the seller’s website, you can upgrade your stand for free - eagerly awaiting mine). Before I explain how to adjust zoom, I’ll clarify the problem I was having. Since Mac users don’t have a functioning zoom button, the only other way to “zoom” is to physically move the scope closer to or further from the object, and the only way to adjust focus is by twisting the 40-1000x dial. In my image titled “Max Zoom”, I’ve shown what I was able to see right out of the box at 40x (portion of coin, including date) and at 1000x (portion of one digit of the date). 40x produced a clear image at a distance of about 1 inch, and 1000x produced a clear image at about 1/2 inch. This was not the range of zoom I was hoping for - the detail is great, but there was no way to zoom out to view the entire coin at once. After a bit of off-manual tinkering, I am now able to view an entire coin at once. First off, the thing that needs to be adjusted will henceforth be referred to as “the thingie” since I couldn’t be bothered to look up its actual name. (It’s the part that contains the lens, see image titled “the thingie”.) To access the thingie, you need to twist off the clear plastic cone at the end of the scope. The thingie is fully retracted at 40x, so to bring it out of hiding, do NOT try to pull it out with pliers like I did. Instead, simply twist the 40-1000x dial all the way to 1000x. Then, you can adjust the thingie by screwing/unscrewing it. If your images are too zoomed to begin with like mine were, you need to screw the thingie in further. If your images are not zoomed in enough, you might need to unscrew the thingie a bit. See my image titled “the thingie” that shows it screwed all the way off (probably don’t do this) to see how many threads you’re dealing with. I tested the full range of zoom/focus to see what was possible. My image “Max Zoom” has the thingie screwed all the in, and as mentioned earlier, you have to get really close (within 1”) in order to be able use the focus dial. “Min Zoom” has the thingie unscrewed as much as possible without it falling off. At 1000x, you have to be point blank but can still get amazing detail. At 40x, I could get a clear image of the penny and its environment from a few feet away! (I promise it’s clear, my iPhone decided to just focus on the foreground). So the Goldilocks zone for me was with the thingie screwed 2/3 of the way in (see “Med Zoom”) so I got a clear image of the entire penny from about 6” away at 40x, and can still see fine detail 1000x at point blank. I also included images saved from the app itself, after finally adjusting the zoom to my liking. All three images of the penny are taken with the same zoom setting, but at different distances/focusing (my point being, you really only have to manually adjust the zoom once, no need to keep messing with it - the focus dial can take care of the rest). Hope this helps someone out there, it would have saved me some trouble!

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.

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.

There is no "Zoom" That's a total lie. For the price it's actually a pretty good Camera/Microscope for the price. It's essentially a VERY lobotomized Version of YouCam10 which was putrefied as a subscription service. Ack! The Camera program that comes with Windows 11 is actually BETTER than the lobotomized YouCam10 from the CD or downloadable. The ONLY Way you would get any kind of Zoom feature is if you actually got stupid and paid YouCam10 for the privilege of using their overpriced software because yeah, IT does a Zoom. The Camera is only 640X480 so expect 1990's Quality. I bought this to magnify and Identify Tang Stamps on old Pocket knives. It's actually a Bit too magnified but yeah, it serves the purpose. Being 65 years old, My old eyes simply can't focus that well anymore! It works better than a big magnifying glass!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I chose this for the magnification range, 40x to 1000x. I'll be using it mostly at 40x to examine my electronics projects. It plugs in quickly and was working immediately. First thing was to remove the protective cap over the optics, plug in the USB cable, give windows a minute to install any software it might need. Then I opened the camera app, flipped the "current camera" to the microscope and got a lovely blurry image - oops, need to focus. That is done by moving the microscope closer or further from what you want to image. The image quality is perfect for what I need. I haven't tried any higher zooms other than to verify the zoom does work. One caveat is the snapped images are 640x480. Still usable, but higher resolution would be good. I haven't installed the included software, I might try that next.

I didn't have high expectations for this item. It's priced low as compared to similar scopes and Amazon tells me there's a "newer version" of the product, but i'm on a budget and anyhow, i wanted a starter scope to see what i'm getting myself into. I do a lot of work with microprocessors and small electronic devices, but my eyes are getting old and i hoped this would help out. First thing i did when i got it was to inspect the circuit in attached photo, to see if i could figure out what had gone wrong with it. It took a whole lot of fiddling just to get focused on it without an excess of noise (the built in LEDs are pretty weak, so distance is a major factor) and when i accomplished that what i got was just... too ambiguous. Difficult to tell what i'm looking at. Is that a hole burnt in the board or is it just scorched? Is that trace broken or just blackened? Are those chip leads bridged and if so, was it deliberate? This snapshot taken with a really bright flashlight shining at an angle, which helps the 3D perception in some respects but in others it only makes things more confusing. I didn't get any actionable information from this. Oh well, i bought it mostly to help me with soldering. Sadly, as it comes it is useless for that. Primarily because of the extremely cheesy stand. This is where things go wildly downhill. I'm not sure what the stand is made of. I suppose it is technically metal since it goes "clink" when struck with a screwdriver. Hard to describe but calling it "metal" seems like a stretch when you actually handle the thing. My guess is some sort of really cheap cast aluminum. It's an inherently wobbly stand because it's got very little weight of its own and doesn't sit flush on a flat surface. Worse though, no matter how hard i tighten the nut it can't hold the weight of the scope. I'll start soldering and it will slowly sag and lose the target and the focus. The tiniest disturbance anywhere near it will throw it off. And of course there's a cord attached to the top of the scope to pull it in undesired directions as well. (For that snapshot i took, the cord is clipped to a coffee mug to stabilize things). Kinda befuddling since i found it near impossible to inspect anything at all without a stand, but extremely frustrating with the one provided. Why? Wouldn't it be simpler to couple this scope with an adequate stand and sell the package for a few bucks more? I asked but didn't get a reply. Instead i was offered a 30% discount on the upgraded stand, which at twenty bucks comes out to $6.00 which would be directed back to my Amazon acct. But, if i can see my way to leaving a 5 star review, the stand will be shipped to me directly at no cost. All 5 star reviews are therefore suspect. This is extortion, with the threat of future frustration as the coercive element. They'll happily relieve that frustration if i will write something other than what i actually believe. Remember, they are aware of my frustration because i asked them directly why they inflicted it, and they extorted me anyhow. It's not entirely useless. I can still use it to inspect my solder joints and to identify component numbers which would otherwise be impossible to see. I'll probably buy the upgraded stand for the discounted price, but i will resent it.

I got this but it doesnt fit my phone and even when I found an application on windows device it worked poorly. Also it shows that it comes with a cse. Well. There is no case.. I dont recommend it at all.

小さいものの大きさまでしっかり見たいと思ったが、撮影したときにスケールを表示できそうなものははっきり書いて無くてわからなかった。この商品はルーラー（定規）がついており最悪定規との対比で分かると思い購入した。結果としてPCに「CoolingTech Microscope」のソフトをインストールすることで、画像にスケールも入れることが可能になった。2000円台の価格で1000倍が可能でスケールも表示できるのは素晴らしい。 PCにインストールする際の注意（マニュアルは英語です） coolingtech microscopeと 日本語で検索すると参考になるマニュアルがありますが肝心なことは記載されていないので注意 (a) レンズカバーを外す (b) ソフトをインストール CoolingTech Microscopeが私的にはスケール表示できる点で気に入っている、ほかにwindows10のカメラやAmcap、 xploviewがある 問題1：USBデジタル顕微鏡をソフトが認識しない→webカメラが競合していたのでwebカメラを外すことで認識した 問題2：スケールが初期設定のままで変更できない→CoolingTech Microscopeソフトをダブルクリックで起動させず、右クリックでadministratorとして実行を選んで起動で変更できた。 撮影例 （１） レンジフードフイルタ（レンジフードを油汚れから守る） フイルター奥まで見えるように透過で撮影。目は粗く0.2mm程度の穴が見える。 （２） エアコンフイルタ（エアコンの外に張り付けて花粉粉塵をキャッチ） レンジフードフイルタよりかなり密に詰まっている。0.1mm以下の穴で繊維が密に詰まっている部分もあるが、0.1mm程度の穴が開いている部分もある。花粉30-40ミクロン（0.03-0.04mm）を完全には取れそうもない。商品の説明としては「花粉・ほこりなどをしっかりキャッチ＊花粉などを完全にカットするものではありません」と記載されており、しっかり逃げの一手を打っている （３）マスク1 （ 3層構造不織布マスク、花粉やウイルス飛沫を95％以上カット） 外側の層でも0.1mm以下で密に詰まっている、空いている部分も奥にさらに繊維が見える。 花粉はほとんどキャッチされると思われる。 （４）マスク2 （ 立体4層構造不織布マスク＜KN-95＞ 柳葉型(ダイヤモンド型)、KN認証規格0.3ミクロンサイズの粒子の侵入を約95%以上遮断） 外側の層でも10ミクロン以下に詰まっている部分から50ミクロン程度穴が開いた部分がある、内部の層はもっと密なのかもしれないが見えない。

Muy útil, excelente equipo, después de más de 5 años de uso doméstico sigue como nuevo.

Worst product and no use of it , absolutely rubbish . For the first time we have experienced this bad behaviour of Amazon and the service about the return policy is also rubbish.

Trop bien trop pratique
