The plastic stand feels a little “unsturdy”, but it does its job acceptably in most of the time, but sometimes I would hope it to be more stable. The microscope comes with a stand, and can be used with the stand or without it. I could say that this USB microscope is basically just the same hardware as used in cheap webcams, just a little bit different optics and illumination LEDs added. If could even be focused to objects around one meter a way, which means could work as sort of webcam.
The microscope an easily focused to different distances. This microscope has very handy light and focus adjustments, making it really quick to view anything. When I plugged in the microscope, I was ready to view the results with any existing software that can show pictures/videos from webcam.
According to product review this should be Linux compatible with UVC webcam driver (I have not verified this).

This USB microscope looks to computer as generic USB 2.0 webcam that is already supported on most operating systems without any extra drivers (the device comes with driver and software CD but you don’t need necessarily install them). This microscope was a very easy to use tool stating from installation. So cheap that I tried on less than 25 USD product S02 25~500X USB Digital Photography Microscope Magnifier w/ 8-LED White Light – Black to see if it were of any use in electronics hacking. This kind of microscopes used to be expensive years ago, but nowadays they much cheaper. In some cases using macro photography on digital camera can be used to look at the small details, but it has also has limitations.Ī microscope that displays the image on a computer screen makes is a big plus over traditional optical microscopes. And microscopes are also a quite annoying when you use glasses normally. The downside of traditional microscopes and those cheap small pocket microscopes is that you have to stay curved over the target sample to use them. There are cheap small microscopes like one I used in my DIY fiber optic microscope article. Sincerely yours, Vijay A.When electronics gets smaller and smaller, you first need a magnifier and sometimes a microscope.
