Appreciated this review. I got very similar used microscope Biolux (no camera in my model, only eyepiece) on car boot sale. Now ordered camera module (non-Biolux) to can use it with PC. Will see how it works :)
The microscope that I got, seems to be legit, I just used my compact to take some of the footage in this video and it seems to work just fine. The microscope itself is good. What did you intent to use it for???
Firstly - I have medium size CO2 laser cutter, have to examine how exactly looks cut - depth, shape etc. As I have my own YT channel it will be nice to provide video from good quality source :).
You must be a very happy and a wealthy person to have your own laser cutter, when you get your setup ready share it with us. and get some more light for your videos this is how I did it ruclips.net/video/GxVzWoZ2sBQ/видео.html
I wonder if they upgraded the camera, or they are just lying about upscaling the resolution. They now claim it's 1280x720, which should in theory be much better than the 480x720. For reference, I got a very cheap usb bresser microscope that claims to be 1080p but it only outputs 480, their own software (doesn't work on linux, the links to it on their site and from the manual are 404) just upscales it and claims it's native 1080p. Still, I've seen a couple of these used go for very cheap, so I might pick one up anyway.
Picture provided by the microscope is good for the price, but the stock camera they gave with this particular set was not impressive so as in the video I strongly advise to get an upgraded one. If you take price into consideration it is a good product. You will be able to see large bacteria and other single cell organisms, but If you are used to a proper lab microscope for a 1000 dollars you will notice that this one is not as good.
What I had in mind was an camera upgrade not microscope. Just to be precise. I like d microscope. Just have a look around for better camera for it or use your mobile to take pictures, just buy a camera holder that you could use with microscope, cheapest option.
I really want to upgrade from my 10 year old kids microscope to a good one. I can't choose between this one and the Levenhuk 50L plus. What's your opinion on that one?
Are you talking about this thing? amzn.to/32c3JyL ? basically the same thing, but I can see a power supply with this one so you probably can run without batteries for LED lamps. I would go for bresser as magnification is higher but basically the sets are almost the same and brasser seems to be cheaper option as it has digital camera included in the set not the best one in the world but still camera included amzn.to/2NfiM6B
Stock cam does not really matter. as far as I remembert 1280x is analog magnification without digital zoom. As I mentioned in the video stock camera is not greatest in the world but you can update it later for sometning like this one amzn.to/2NVnbdE
Is the eye piece 20mm diameter fitting to 2Xmag Barlow lens tube? Is the Barlow lens 23mm diameter fitting to main tube? (I’m looking to get a WF25x eyepiece at 20mm diameter fitting to get the benefit of the 2xmag Barlow lens)!!! I got the improved HD camera but its 23mm diameter fitting which means you need to take out the Barlow lens, but it takes good pictures.
Send me your email as private message. I will send you some photos. Eye pieces are 200 mm in diameter, Barlow lens tube internal diameter 21 mm, external 23 mm, microscope tube fitting Barlow lens or the camera is 25 mm. Write me PM if you want pictures. All best mate
It is a cheap microscope and it does not have this function as default but you can get it upgraded on your own just have a look at this video. ruclips.net/video/Knb8LzGmh6E/видео.html apart form that the channel I sent you is brilliant.
What is the model of the camera you used to get the clear pictures? I'm interested in the size of lens. I'm considering buying this microscope. I don't care a lot about the usb camera but it would be nice to be able to get a clear picture sometimes with one of my two cameras but they both have big lenses.
I connect my ocular to pc, and I can see the "camera USB2" (of the ocular) connected in pc but it doesn't start, any tab appeared so what happen, what can I do?!. I don't really know if it's broken or if I don't know how to connect it!! PLEASE HELP @BuyOrBuyNot
I have a question, it will decide if I will buy this microscope. Will the camera you get with the kit work on windows 10? ‘Cuz it says it works with windows 7 on the website im trying to buy it from, please respond.
Just plugged the camera in. No problems it is plug and play, no instalation just works, but remember that this is not the best quality in the world but I gave a couple of links with camera upgrade for this microscope just read the descepriton under the video. All best mate.
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 thank you for you reply, Iam very grateful. And I plan to upgrade the camera in a couple of months, but I plan to use it as a start to my hobby. Much thanks.
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 oh btw, one last question if I may, so you said it’s plug and play, so that means it also works without the oc software? ‘Cuz it comes with a disc, but I have a laptop, but it doesn’t have a disc drive.
Are you performing so called microsoldering? How long, how many minutes or hours per day? What level of micro soldering, chips onto PCB's or a fully open CPU microsoldering??? Please describe in details what task do you intend to do then I will try my best to find you something suitable.
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 HI man, not literally it will be just using microscope so i'm close enough to be able to say just desolder a chip, or use the heat gun to desolder it, and then do some actual soldering, you know, removing a small package that controlls the HDMI port on an PS4, and then dropping in a new one with tweezersm heating it up and waiting for it to reseat itself. No like MICRO stuff at all, just general, standard chip removal, and replacement etc. any good to you?
Ok I am back with the answer. I had a look around and the best option IMLTHO is a cheap camera microscope to begin with they you will decide to get an upgrade or not. They are reasonably cheap, but do not expect crystal clear quality they have plastic lenses and cheap sensors but working at 40X should be visible and workable. Here is link to amazon UK amzn.to/2St56pk and amazon US wherever you are amzn.to/2O4wOKn . Remember it is cheap but do not expect to get much better quality by spending 100 or 200 quid on something more expensive to get something decent you are looking at around 100 dollars for microscope and you would have to by camera separately for another 100. So test the cheap one first and they you will decide if you need something more advanced. All best and happy micro-soldering I hope one day you will perform open CPU surgeries ;)
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 DUde thanks so much, so what you're basically saying is, it's better to buy an all in one cheap solution like this for under 40 dollars that has it's own screen, and actually gives a fairly clear pictures whilst zoomed in, than buy an expensive microscope and an expensive screen/camera also. Would you recommend a cheap buf good quality and long life (if thats possible Solder station, I'm talking 2 in 1 Soldering Iron with temp control + heat gun with temp control? Thank you. OH, also, I'm going to need screwdrivers and tweezers and things to hold things open and hold things in place etc, when it comes to Screwdrivers, I want a set that will open phones, laptops, games consoles and their controllers, and things that need those tiny tiny litle Y head's etc (iphone), do you know a screwdriver set for under 50 that basically has them all? can you recommend maybe a starter kit of stuff i could use aloing with my soldering station when i get it for learning, im talking Soldering wire, Wick, Tweezers and things (ill also need a little container with copper wire in it to wipe the head of my Iron in, you know those?)

Did not have a look at blood cells but you should be able to them as small balls. It is 1250x magnification. Should b enough. Check Internet how blood cells look at 800x or 500x . So 1250x should do d job.
Wanted to be this too, but I see its Amazon price has climbed from 80 euros to 120-140 within half a year. That's ridiculous. No chance I'm getting this ripoff.
As far as I remember it says Made in Germany but you know probably everything comes from China and they just assemble it into the suitcase in Germany and Hurrah ... Made in Germany ;)
Hi, I have just bought a used one of these. It is mains powered, but I cannot find where to get a new power lead for it. Can anyone advise? The one I have with it does not fit the microscope. There is no battery compartment on my unit, so I cant use it at the moment

I love science and I want a microscope but it looks like there is a lot to learn if I’m going to invest in a microscope. 🤔

i just got one of these for christmas, and i wanted to use the 1000x zoom, but i dont know how, and am i able to use the camera without a pc cd drive?
Great review
Thank you. Y R a Star
Thank you! How is the image quality with x1280? Are you able to see bacteria with reasonable clarity?

Do you have to use a camera with this or can you just look into it?
U can do both
Hi do you know if i can use immersion oil with this microscope?

+imatzav i used Nikon AW100.

For me the 40X think doesn't work, everything looks blurry on 40X. Why is that?
