 Great product for examining coins!! October 19, 2009

I purchased this microscope to be able to examine coins a lot closer and take photos. It works just as advertised. Led's reflect in the picture if the coin is inside a reflective surface(plastic case, etc).
A Little Getting Use To, But Overall Nice Scope! December 16, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R83A34U70CBX1 The video shown with this scope is a seems to be a "frame by frame" video.
The First 1 minute & 50 seconds of the video the scope was hand held. The LAST 75 seconds (fast forward to 1:50 for a better view) was then placed in the stand/holder.
The accessory stand is the best feature for my shaky hands!
The Cricket is being held buy a pair of tweezers and was not injured in this video but was eaten by my Praying Mantis :)
Great Price. Windows 7 Support. February 6, 2010

We chose this microscope not knowing what to expect. My wife has MS and it has a direct effect on her vision, so she uses this scope for reading, and seeing things that are difficult view. For the quality of this unit, I feel like we didn't pay enough for it. I could probably be critical about its performance, if I were employed in some scientific profession, or if I just enjoyed criticizing quality by specifications. I don't. This model is perfect for a home user, and probably for professional uses too.
There are 32bit and 64bit versions of the software for Windows 7 (and XP, Vista, etc.) available at the manufacturers download site. That in itself is the reason we pulled the trigger. We run Windows 7 on all of our machines, 32bit and 64bit, so its nice to be able to use this microscope on any of them.
I snagged the microscope the other day to zoom in on some o-rings that were leaking. The o-rings were on Danger Den/Fat Boy fittings installed in a D'Tek waterblock. I was really able to show the difference, with pictures, when describing the problem regarding the o-ring size.
Just BUY it! Worth DOUBLE the price in my opinion August 8, 2010

I purchased a Celestron LCD microscope. It is fine for flat objects but fell short when I wanted to examine articles of some size such as 1/8" to 1/4". I bought this one and I am VERY VERY impressed with the value for the money. The software installation was a one minute error free job. It is extremely easy to use and I've found many uses for it in the few days I've owned it. I honestly would have been happy to spend DOUBLE for this item and feel good about it! It is one of the best purchases I've ever made and the BEST purchase when it comes to value for the dollar. The stand is small but well built and did not need any adjustment after many uses.
Great Little Item March 7, 2010

I purchased one for myself and liked it so much that I purchased one for my Laboratory.
It takes a little effort to focus but it's not that hard to do. A diffuser for the LEDs of some sort would help when photographing shiny objects.
