   For sure the best microscope of its kind on the market. I couldn’t tell you about the others. I haven’t tried them. But I can tell you this one works very well. With the free apps that you download from your Google Store for Android, this product looks great. Very easy setup for your Android. I don’t have an Apple phone so I can’t tell you about the setup for that. I also did not hook it up to my computer or install the software, so I can’t tell you about that either. But the picture through the app on my Android phone looks very sharp and clear using this microscope. An overall great value for the price. I know that they are cheaper ones out there but I can’t imagine that they are any better. Also the company stands by their product 100%. I also did not use the stand so I can’t really comment on that either. However the whole thing does come in a very nice carrying case. I highly recommend this product.

   I used this USB microscope to look at my stereo phono cartridge cantilever and needle. It works great for that. I also looked at some coins. Nice clear picture and you can just snap and save pictures to your computer. I can clearly see the diamond facets on the needle, which is so tiny, it can’t be seen with a magnifying glass. So now I can see if it is worn or dirty. At first I though the needle was terribly worn or missing, but it was just covered in dirt. I cleaned it once, and I could still see some dirt or vinyl still sticking to the needle. After I cleaned it again, I could clearly see the diamond needle was just fine and not damaged or worn, and all the dirt was gone. I didn’t get the red snap button on the side of the microscope to work yet, so I just took photos by mouse click with the in software App for Windows 10. I also didn’t get the red Zoom button to work yet, so I need to look into that. Maybe there is a driver on the included CD or something. For now, I just downloaded the App from their website. So at this point I am just use a combination of the silver power adjustment wheel and proper distancing in order to focus properly. It is a little difficult with the included stand, but not that hard once you get used to it. I’ll probably get the optional better stand that is available for it. Also, there is a light intensity control is built into the USB cord, I didn’t notice it at first, and it is not noted in the minimal instruction sheet. And as it says in the instructions, don’t hit the restart computer button after installing the software. I did, and I got a spinning circle forever, and then had to shut off and restart the computer. When I hit don’t restart the next time, it installed and worked right away.

   Still holding up after around 3-4 years. Hasn’t broke or anything. Easy to install. Carrying case is adequate. Inexpensive. Pretty portable. etc.I mainly use it to look at coins, stamps and things like that. I don’t really need it to see if a plant is ready or not. I can tell just by looking at one usually. Regardless it is neat to be able to zoom in on a plant. I’m sure kids would love zooming in on different bugs, minerals, elements and what not. The light is good but I still find myself using a desk lamp over whatever coin I’m looking at. Better than a jeweler’s loupe.Most of the time I have it installed on an older android phone that I no longer use and they’d give me like 50 cents for. So I use that phone to put things like this on it.Good item. [I made the attached photo a lot smaller]
