In conclusion for the price of this microscope does represent good value for money even with the slight problems with focusing and lighting. With the microscope you get some example slides these are: Hydrilla Verticillata leaf, broad bean leaf, onion bulb epidermis, pollen, apple, also four little containers with: sea salt, eosin dye, brine shrimp eggs, gum media, you also get some plain slides, small container and set of tweezers.īelow are a few sample images I have taken using this microscope at various magnifications, I have slightly adjusted the colours on these images, just to give a better representation of the original colours. Though I found the lights seems to wash out certain subjects, but this can be rectified using graphics software. But if you are patience you can get it just right and with using the two different light you can get the best light for the subject you have under this usb microscope. ![]() To focus you move the wheel controls on the side of the base unit this works ok, but does use plastic gears so can be hard to get just in the right position. The image below shows the differences with the 10x, 60x & 200x magnification. You can launch the software, or press the camera button on the microscope and automatically launches this software. Though I have just downloaded the latest drivers from there website HERE, This install the driver for windows, I am using windows 7 32bit, it also installs a basic capture application called Camapp, this software allows you to capture a still image or video. The software that came with the microscope had the windows drivers and videostudio. The microscope unit slots into the base, you have two light sources one directing down from the lenses and one on the base, these can be alternated between the lamps or both on or off using a button on the top of the unit. The microscope has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, with 10x, 60x and 200x magnification. Just over a year ago I brought a Traveler USB Microscope from Aldi supermarket, it was on offer at £29.95, to be honest was just an impulse buy and really since I had brought it not really used it that much but thought I would share my thoughts and show some of the images it can produce. ![]()
