The knob has a very smooth range or motion, making it easy to get things in the exact position you want them. Unlike other models, this one has a pair of viewing ports, referred to as binoculars, located at the top of the microscope.

Because you’re going to be making fine adjustments, having the video to peep in an see your changes in real time makes it much easier to use. With a 1.3-megapixel sensor, the image quality is absolutely mind blowing. The images produced look more like something out of a digital camera than an inexpensive microscope. The colors are perfectly represented, holding true-to-life styling. You really need a high-quality monitor to appreciate this. It really is something to take what’s normally invisible to the human eye and see it blown up on a screen the size of a television.

One of the biggest improvements to the image quality comes from the bottom mounted lighting system. This light provides a slightly warm glow that is diffused by the covering. You’re not getting harsh light like you would with a standard LED system. Instead, it illuminates your object in a way that lets you almost see through it.

The cellular structure of a leaf and the tiny vein-like structures within come alive, giving you a new appreciation for something that has always been common to us. If you’ve seen lab grade images in science magazines, you’ll be able to get the same kind of look with this microscope. One of the most helpful design elements in this microscope is the mechanical components. Not only are all the adjustments very fine, but they’re lockable too. This means that once you’ve got things exactly where you want, you can keep the microscope in the exact position that you want. This microscope can also handle a larger variety of sample types than any other on the consumer market. It’s got the dual slide system that can flatten your sample so the entire thing is in focus, giving you excellent image quality. This digital USB microscope looks more like an industrial tool than anything. But it’s actually a window into a whole new world.
