I purchased around 5 different digital microscopes over the years for the company i work for. Finally i ran across this one. I did end up purchasing the cover and additional light source (both a must have for this unit. there are some minor issues i did not like on this unit but the things i liked out-way them.
PROS:
1: at 0.5x setting i can put a part about 4 inches from the lense and it will allow me to focus at different depths depending
what i need to shoot.
2: the focus on the eyepieces are nice and clear.
3: once i figured out the lever that you need to pull far out on the left side to close off the left eye piece i got
great shots from the digital camera. (pulling this lever part of the way out only gives you blurry images at best in the digital camera).
4: the head unit can be tilted for angle views. and the height can be adjusted for larger or smaller parts.
CONS:
1: the manual, well is horrible. i was able to setup the unit by going to the web site and review the multiple photos
then assembling them together.
2: the screw mount (plastic) that attaches to the lense and holds the circular led is not threaded correctly. it hangs
literally by a thread. and can strip very easy when switching the lenses.
3: after some use on tilting the microscope the clamps do not hold and will move the arm that holds the head unit.
4: i purchased the Nikon camera attachment because at first the digital camera was shooting horribly bury images. i discovered with no help from the manual that the lever on the left side of the unit has to be pulled a lot farther out. feels like your going to pull it off. when doing this the digital camera shoots excellent. i found that the lever needs to close off the left eye piece before the digital camera is clear.
5: at the default setting the camera comes out bury, the mount that the unit rests on needs to be unscrewed about 1/8 before the digital camera comes into focus with the eye piece. there about 3/4 to 1 inch travel before the mount is totally unscrewed.
CONCLUSION:
it does what we need to use it in Engineering for and plan on purchasing another unit for the Quality Control Department.
