This is a fine, inexpensive digital microscope
I was pleased when I assembled and used this small scope. I have been using a small stereo dissecting scope for years, but needed a camera, so I tried this small digital scope. It is fine for the low magnification I need, it is not as good at the extreme 1200x it claims, but it is usable at the higher magnification. It may be an advantage that it has a rechargeable battery that will power the lights and display for at least an hour without being plugged in.
The focus is a bit finicky to use, isn't a rack and pinion knob like on an ordinary scope, it's a knurled ring that is turned directly. And it's not a true "zoom" scope as advertised, as it needs to be refocused when the head is moved up or down to adjust the magnification.
But it can be sharply focused and it has adjustable magnification. I think it's excellent value for someone who wants to get good videos or photos of biological specimens or the coins in the headline.
