Most useful tool in my dermatology practice

I'm a dermatologist and i use this in my practice to analyze moles, pigmentation and scalp disorders. It works great, software was easy to download and functions very well on my Mac iOS13 and i save high resolution images without a problem. I love this, it's my best tool in my practice and is a lot cheaper than a dermatoscope

My best Amazon purchase this year!

Wow, this thing is a hoot! I purchased this for inspecting my flowers. For years I have been using 20-60 power jeweler's loupe's. I attached a few pics of some trichomes to my review. I didn't use a stand, I held it against the plant. Any movement using in this manner might result in a blur. For example I have fans blowing on my plants. Considering those circumstances, look how awesome this pics are. I only had it at 150 Magnification too. I didn't buy it as a toy, I purchased this as a tool. BUT, I have been running around all day with it plugged into my phone looking at everything. This thing is so much fun! Also a great asset to any grower. Also keep in mind if you plan on using this on your phone remember to buy an adapter. Works great on my Galaxy S8 Plus and my PC. I'll be saving up for the Hi Res one. Until then, I love this thing.

Works great... after a fashion. Requires compatible device and OTG cable for portable use.

Had major difficulty getting it to work as portable handheld microscope. Worked great using PC with no challenge connecting and seeing it up there but I purchased it specifically for its portability. First I needed to purchase an OTG cable to connect microscope with handheld device - no problem only $6 on Amazon - then I needed to buy a new phone or tablet - had been procrastinating on replacing 5 y.o. cracked screen phone so this motivated me to do so, but there's no concrete specifics to be found about which phone/tablet will work aside from the best apple products. I'm an older lady who's used to android devices and on my disability income I couldn't afford the newest apple device anyway. Finally chose the J3 android model and was elated to find it compatible with the app. So after all that I am very happy with this microscope. I am able to view the trichomes on my plants through video and still shots, save them, share them, etc. Takes a bit if practice to dial in on what i wanted to view but before long I became pretty good with it. The resolution could be better but for the price this is perfect for my needs! Also it's a lot of fun to view all sorts of other things like skin, hair strands, food crumbs, anything and everything.

The lights stay on all the time and the measuring part does not work with this camera. Great cheap camera for viewing only.

This is awesome

My 10 year old son got this for Christmas. It isn't a constant-use toy, it's a tool he uses when he wants to see things really, really close up. Like bugs. And mold. And the engraving on money. It doesn't get freaky close, but close enough to gross you out. It would be cool if it worked with the iPad or phone or something to make it more portable - you're tethered to the computer (so think of the bugs and snakeskins that will be sitting on your desk in the future).

Classroom Use

I use these in middle school. We hook them up to chrome books. I can't get the kids to stop magnifying everything! I love the enthusiasm they generate.

Excellent for environmental ed

Excellent for my needs as an environmental educator. I had previously been using one of the $35 microscopes you can get at WalMart. This is definitely an upgrade. I was able to see dust on paper for crying out loud! Easy to use, compatible with most all devices. Thanks so much!!!

Five Stars
