The impressive 75x/300x effective magnification (based on a 21" monitor) allows users to see details of ordinary objects that you never knew existed! Capture an image or take close focus video with the click of a button. The included flexible neck stand (8.5 inches at tallest point) with suction cup adapter attaches to any smooth surface or to the included graduated base with ease. The graduated base shows measurements in inches and centimeters. The eFlex contains an adjustable LED lighting knob that controls the brightness of the 4 LED lights included in the device. There is also a focusing knob to ensure the sharpest and clearest images possible. The eFlex is compatible with Windows 10, 8/8.1, 7 (32/64 bit), Vista (32/64 bit), XP SP2+ and all MAC operating systems. USB 2.0 or 3.0 port is required for compatibility with your computer. The eFlex is powered by the USB port of your computer so no batteries are needed. The magnification will increase with larger monitors. The eFlex is backed by Carson. Please note, the effective magnification is a combination of the optical system and a high powered digital zoom.

Das Mikroskop ist gut. Der Ständer ist aber eher unbrauchbar. Lieber einen mit stellschraube nehmen da die Tiefenschärfe extrem kurz ist und man den Ständer sicher nicht so einstellen (biegen) kann, dass genau der Bereich schraf ist, den man anschauen möchte. Somit muss man mit der Hand das Mikroskop hindrücken und dabei merkt man jedes noch so kleine zittern.Eventuell nochmals etwas Geld in die Hand nehmen und einen vernünftigen Ständer kaufen.Software für das Mikroskop war kostenlos zum downloaden. Installation easy. Zeitaufwand ca. 5 min dann hat es funktioniert.

This is a great, easy to set up product that tonight my husband will be able to use while teaching biology from home. The light could use some diffusing for shiny subjects but we'll figure out how to diffuse it a little bit. Sharp images, quality well built product. We will update as we use it more.We had purchased a competitors product first, which didn't work on Mac, and the software that we had to download for the PC didn't work properly (recognize the microscope) no matter how many times we put it on, took it off, etc.

Awesome deal. and a great camera... I recently purchased a similar 30 dollar product from Amazon, and had to return it... The picture was horrible, distorted, and the LED's flicked constantly... This is such a better camera... Lightweight, and easy to set up and get started looking through coins... Thank You... PS. I found this on your YT channel... :)

I read tons of reviews on other products for buying this microscope and I haven't been disappointed with how it works. I can't vouch for Mac users but on Windows 10 this scope worked first plug-in and run of the "Xploview" app (required to use the camera). Here's a general breakdown:- The plastic stand is nothing extraordinary but it works fine providing appropriate lines for measurement and object alignment.- The scope wand attaches to the plastic stand via a suction cup. This cup has to be mounted in a specific spot on the stand but does so fairly easily and holds in place well. The camera also attaches to this wand by 2 swivel spots on the C-clamp. It allows the camera swivel to move fairly easily.- The camera has a wheel to adjust both the light and focus. These are easy to use and work suitably. It's best to put the camera about 1-2" from the stand to bring the camera into focus first. After that, focus is relatively easy to manage. A "touch" button on top allows the user to take quick snapshots.Pros- Tap photo button on top works great when you prefer to not go back-forth between your PC and camera.- Is stable and easy to use when mounted to the base.- Focus is not difficult and adjusting lighting works as intended.- It does a good job of allowing very close zooming without sacrificing light.- Software is extremely simple to use- Price (it's one of the better priced camera's on here)Cons- Lighting from distances exceeding a few inches is generally not useful...could benefit to be a bit stronger but not necessary in all applications.- Base has a tiny spot that the wand can suction to...could benefit from enlarging this smooth area some.- USB cord tends to get in the way or move the camera sometimes when making adjustments...maybe clamps on the wand bar could alleviate this.Summary: It's a great scope that functionally does what the description states.

The scope was extremely easy to setup. You need to download software (they have a mac version). Once you install the software and open the application, just plugging in the USB microscope initiates the power. Simple controls and picture taking. I use it to examine knife blades for sharpening and it works great.

Abbiamo acquistato questo tipo di microscopio per osservare eventuali difetti nei contorni dei prodotti che stampiamo. E' molto precisa nella messa a fuoco, utile soprattutto per chi come me porta gli occhiali e fa fatica con il microscopio classico, e facile da utilizzare. E' utile anche la possibilità di effettuare foto e video ed ha una buona qualità/prezzo.

I purchased this USB microscope for the purpose of examining the primary bevel on knives for scratch pattern and to identify any damage. This scope is well suited to this task. On the lower magnification I can quickly look at the knife bevel with sufficient detail to identify any trouble spots that may need to be addressed with sharpening and the higher magnification is great for getting a clear picture of the scratch pattern. The optics seem pretty good considering the cost. On the higher magnification setting the depth of field does become shallow, but that is to be expected. I really wish there as a way to lock the focus knob into one position as it is easy to bump out of focus when handling the scope. Also, I would have preferred that the capture button and light controls were located inline on the cord like they are on the Optitech microscope that I have. It is easy to accidentally actuate the camera function. For the price, this is an excellent value and I would recommend it.

The Carson eFlex 75x/300x digital microscope arrive on time. The set up and performance matched the video demonstration. This little gadget should meet expectations of any hobbyist. My hobby is rock and mineral collection. I am already amassing a significant collection of close-up micro-mineral photos, small mm crystals etc. In some instances you have to manipulate the flexible stand and make adjustments to your focus but once you get how it all works it is a great purchase for the money. A similar device at a major rock and mineral show several years ago was offered at over $250.00. Highly recommended.

As others has stated, only two powers, and its very hard to focus. It's also extremely shaky in the hand. I contacted to see if they knew of any anti shake software, like on cameras, but they said there is none. It does come with a nice stand as shown, but being hand held and the reason people buy them, it performs poorly in that regard. The light also seems to constantly waver back and forth. For the price you can't complain much I guess, but now that I've tried it personally, I believe that I could have gotten one for half the cost that performs as well.
