 works well, a bit touchy, no linux driversAug 31, 2009
By Scott James
works well, takes still and movie images. a little touchy on the focus, a bit like cheap binoculars, but it works once you get the hang of it. I also wanted to setup on Linux, but the imaging chip is not standard. I inquired with Celstron and their technical support line replied that it's proprietary. Oh well, at least it works well under windows. I have example images and movie of insects from my garden at mentalfest dot blogspot dot com. Overall, I feel it's a good value for personal hobby use.

Good deal for quick, basic microscopeSep 14, 2009
By Matthew E. Dirckx
I use this microscope in my research work to take a quick look at small features (10's to 100's of micrometers) on micro-milled metal parts. Because the refresh rate of the image is a little slow, it is tricky to get in focus. That said, this camera is useful for quick, basic inspection. Color balance and light levels are not great, but can be adjusted in software if needed.
This would not replace a good microscope with a good camera, but it is a good option if you're on a budget.

 Great product for examining coins!!Oct 19, 2009
By K. Linder
I purchased this microscope to be able to examine coins a lot closer and take photos. It works just as advertised. Led's reflect in the picture if the coin is inside a reflective surface(plastic case, etc).

A Little Getting Use To, But Overall Nice Scope!Dec 16, 2009
By Jersey Chuck
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R83A34U70CBX1 The video feature on this scope is a "frame by frame" video.
The accessory stand is the best feature for my shaky hands!
The small Cricket on the end of the tweezers didn't suffer long, my Gecko ate it!

 Not bad for price, not great eitherMar 25, 2010
By Lisa
"All-waze-Shoppin"
This scope was very easy to install & use on laptop. Price is right if you're just using for fun or only require lower magnification. The focus dial is VERY touchy & takes some getting used to. And even the slighest movement throws off focus. Which makes it difficult to snap clear pics. But with practice you can get a decent quality picture.
I was a little disappointed in the description of the magnification power. I thought it was 10x through 150x, meaning everything in between. (Never bought a digital scope before) But, you can only focus at 10x to about 30x, & then again at about 150x.
Overall - not bad but I would rather spend a few more dollars for a few more options or functions and better quality.
