Digital Microscope Comparison: Follow-Up
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- This video is a follow-up to my first comparison video on digital microscopes. There are some things about that initial video that I think would be good to elaborate on further, based on many of the comments that were left on it. In this video, I’ll do a deeper analysis on the images from each of the digital microscopes in an effort to hopefully address some shortcomings the other video has.
I start by explaining why I was interested in doing this comparison, and why it matters to me in the first place. I enjoy looking at silicon chips and other electronic components under the microscope, and I have often wondered how these microscopes stack up against the ones that I use. I wanted to know if I could feel comfortable recommending them to others looking to observe silicon chips for themselves.
The result of that comparison was that none of the six digital microscopes that I evaluated met my expectations for chip viewing. That doesn’t mean that I’m done evaluating digital microscopes though. There are plenty of more interesting options available, and I plan to do more of these comparisons in the future. I enjoy doing the teardowns, and find the comparisons just as interesting as it seems like many of you do.
After going over a few definitions, this video revisits the images captured from the previous six digital microscopes. I compare them directly to one another using my favorite open source image software, Inkscape. I also include comparisons to the photos taken with my microscope camera and cellphone’s camera, which is what I use to record video through the microscope .The video wraps up with going over some more details about my two optical microscopes.
Many more videos are in the pipeline, and I’m looking forward to putting the finishing touches on them. Future videos that are in progress that I’m currently working on:
Digital Microscope Comparison V2
Microscope Automation Project
LED module replacement for the Halogen Bulb
Various other device teardowns and chip inspections

As a failure analyst back in the 70s, I spent years looking at chips and taking photos. Today's chip complexity is orders of magnitude higher. No hope of tracing one out completely. The Zeiss scopes we used were obscenely expensive but very nice.
Congrats on the RUclips levelling up. Look forward to your stepper motor and replacement light videos. Subscribed.
The cheap digital microscopes use a CCD (charge coupled device) to capture the image. They can call it 2,000 max magnification if they want, but it will only capture to the max the CCD will and what the electronics support. It was probably like in your initial review that one of them had a CCD that supported higher resolution, but the electronics only supported the .3MP so was limited to that magnification.
This is like the majority of electronic and lighting stuff on Amazon, from China, which is BS.
Makes me think that I'd get a better result by buying a lens or loupe attachment to the phone camera. Good chance it's got a better optic chip.
I'd love to see a video on all your customizations (stepper motor controlled anything). I have quit a few microscopes, most of which I put together from parts bought off of eBay (I could never afford anything direct from the manufacturer). It's all great fun. Your work is great! I was troubled to see a few comments on another of your videos by people who don't understand copyright law. They also don't understand the "art" market. Anyway, keep going and good luck.
Fascinating video! I have learned a lot!
I really really hope you can find a transmeta chip. Trust me you won't be disappointed with the chip art. Specifically the 0.18um TM5600 and 5400
I might already have some, I'll have to check and see. The flip-chip style silicon dies like these on the Transmeta do make viewing the chip difficult, but I'll see what I can do. :)
nice share-great hobby-learned alot manythxs
perfect, thank you for sharing
Tomlov was surprisingly good for a digital microscope. Would you say it would be good enough for use with electronics repair and soldering?
I use a tomlov microscope that was purchased on aliexpress for $250 or so and I love it. I use it mostly for soldering so it works for me, not sure how it would be for checking out microchips, maybe I could get a lens to make it zoom in that far but with the few lenses I have now there is no way I’d get the kind of detail I see in your videos.
You can have a higher resolution sensor, but behind the same lens you night be limited by the quality of the lens as well, this video btw.... Very very helpful since there is so little to find about these microscopes because this is kind of a niche.... Thanks m8
Came across the video while searching for info on that really cheap USB thingy, which ends up looking like just the part for what i need it for, but then started wondering. Did you ever use "mean stacking" on sequences of images taken with you professional gear? And does it make any difference in image quality? It makes quite a difference with cameras, from cheap webcams to DSLR's, but microscopy might be different.
Generally speaking going for optical magnification should be better. Then a nice high resolution capture
I really wish you could put a modern camera ccd sensor under 800x or more magnification. I really wonder what the induvidual pixels looks like
Resolution is also limited by the optical aperture. Similarly with telescopes there is a diffraction limit that is determined by the optical system's aperture size. The smaller the aperture the less resolution you get.
Do you remember when the internet figured out the resolution, lens dimensions, and orbit of a US keyhole spy satellite from just one leaked picture
@@godlugner5327 no idea, but known fact that Hubble is slightly modified KH-11, and all data is well known.
Sir its a possible to make copy any ics ?
Did this with a handful of different microscopes... The USB only one's seem to be only the best
15:16 try a UV/near UV LED. Shortest wavelength should give the best resolving power?
Carson has a pocket microscope model with a built-in UV light, but I found their colors were inaccurate when photographed
👍👍
wonder how good the samsung isocell hp2 200MP in the s23 ultra would be consider the s21 looks very good to me already.

That hair was not free. There was a tariff applied.
THX 🙂👍
hi handsome, could you upgrade your microphone, to a rohd? thanks. more video's please.
The only one thing i want to see is he do a test on AMD Threadripper chip
"Resolution".... 3:23
I didnt need to look at anything that small. Just trichomes. These 2 videos gave me some quick education to know what I was looking at as far as USB microscopes go. Thanks for the know-how.
Waste of time. All of presented microscopes are the same model with added features. Scope of selection should be wider.
Your work rocks!
Thanks! That means a lot :)
