Jiusion 2K HD 2560x1440P USB Digital Microscope for Android Cellphone and Tablet Windows Mac Linux, 40X to 1000X Magnification Mini Endoscope Handheld Camera for Coin Facial Skin Scalp

This is an easy 5-stars for me. The price is amazing and it works extremely well. Ok, it's my first microscope so maybe I'm easily pleased, but it captures very good images at high magnification. Best of all for me is the fact that you just hook it up to your PC (it's plug and play, so just plug it in to a USB port and then turn on the 'Camera' app that comes with Windows) and you see the images on the screen instead of having to look into the microscope itself. This is really handy, it allows you to press the camera against your skin, hair, clothing etc and just look at the screen. The cable is long enough for it to reach from my PC, which is on a desk, down to the carpet. Then you can just hit 'Print Screen' and save your images in a paint package. I've had loads of fun with it and for £30, you just can't go wrong. The only issue I had, being a microscope noob, is that I couldn't work out how to focus it properly. A little bit of reading later and I realised that this an issue with all microscopes and it's due to focal length etc. It's not really a problem though, press it up against your subject and alter the zoom until it comes into focus. I find that for most subjects, I get clarity at two different zooms, one giving a good overall close-up and then it goes fuzzy until it comes into view again for a much more zoomed in close-up.

The Jiusion 2K HD 2560x1440P USB Digital Microscope looks very much like the scope I had before - no brand name. Wanted a replacement because software no longer worked (less than 2 years old). Thought maybe a windows update may be responsible. Tried everything but could not get it to work. This microscope looked so similar to the one I had and was not sure it would be any better. Eventually decided to take the plunge and boy am I pleased I did. Arrived within 48 hours with a good instruction leaflet with info to download software (xploview installation package) which I did. Up and running in no time. The picture quality way better than my last microscope due to its HD resolution. Lights controlled by a rotary switch on cable is much easier to use. Not always needed but nice to have when a dimmed effect is required. Usual button for a snap picture and a light weight stand - usable but probably the weakest part of the package. Also includes a Microscope Micrometer Calibration Ruler which I'm sure will come in handy at some point. Using it for printed circuit boards and coins mostly but it has also helped me replace a tiny screw in my glasses. Must be tons of ways this microscope can be of assistance. To conclude, this USB microscope from Jiusion is great value with good build and picture quality and this on a 27in monitor and running windows 10. Excellent.

Updated 11 June 23 Paid c.16.00GBP for this. Think I could have got it for less if I had been prepared to wait for longer delivery. Very grateful for 'The Bloke's' review which made its strengths and weaknesses very clear. I wanted this now for identification of plant parts, but wish I'd had one when I was a kid! Fab piece of kit at a low price. I can't give an informed technical assessment, but high magnification easily/instantly achieved. Plugged it into my Huawei phone to no effect. Plugged it into my Mac laptop and got instant imaging, using the Photo Booth app that is standard for Mac OS. Just open Photo Booth and select this from the Camera drop down. Capture images, if you wish, using the Photo Booth function. Simples! Can't find any app that will make it work on my android phone (or my old Blackberry, but that's not surprising.) The stand is indeed crap, but I can make do with hand held for my purposes. Comes with a clear plastic film 'ruler' which gives you some idea of scale/measurement. There is an instruction manual (instructions for installing and using the bundled software; plus instructions on how to use with different devices), some software on a mini-disc (which I do not plan to install) and a separate USB/USB-c connector. The cable itself has a standard USB which converts to mini-USB. So connectivity seems good. The knurled knob on the body of the microscope is for focus and zoom function. Was a bit stiff at first. Although marked as "40X – 1000X", suggesting a zoom function on that scale, I have been able to make it zoom – but am not sure what magnification it really achieves. The two buttons, zoom and snap, seem to do nothing – and body-mounted controls of all types on a device for high magnification are pretty useless because of the shaking they introduce into the image. There is a light level control on the cable – another knurled wheel. The clear plastic hood functions in two ways, as far as I can see. It holds a lens cap which prevents dust etc getting inside. Plus it acts as a fixed length focus stand, i.e. you can simply press the plastic opening against the surface you are looking at and focus in with the focus wheel. After that you get a focussed image by simply pressing the opening against any object/surface you wish to view. Being clear, you can adjust position by eye. It simply pulls off, if you don't want it. Overall, although it has some redundant and some stupid features, it remains a fab piece of kit that gives high digital magnification. It is still good for what it is. I recommend it if you have simple needs or are a hobbyist looking for fun magnification. Needs a reliable stand.

Well packaged, great microscope for the money, very easy to set-up. Connected via usb and used with the camera app in windows. Of course it’s not as good as the more expensive digital microscopes. But perfect for pcb work, soldering and surface mount work! Both 4K and 1080p modes have fantastic picture quality. Well built and feels premium for the cost!

This wee microscope is quite powerful for the price of it and when using it to look at small pcb board i am amazed at all the small components in might i say quite good quality. For viewing pcbs or anything really its truly amazing. So why the 3 stars? I tried using it to solder a component onto a pcb board and everything the fumes rose up into the microscope it would shut off and come back on again. Not ideal for micro soldering being blind every two seconds! It doesnt do this when Im using it to view things but if i try work with it, it just doesn't work for me. Also one thing to note is that the drivers the microscope comes with are incompatible with windows and you'll have to turn off memory integrity if yoy want to even use the microscope. So final thoughts is that this would be a great gift for a little inspiring scientist or for education purposes but for micro soldering it just doesn't work well.

The microscope worked perfectly out of the box on my Android phone, laptop and desktop. You can just plug it in and use it like a USB webcam or you can download their recommended software which worked perfectly and easily. It has two main zoom modes, the lower magnification one has quite an impressive range and let's you place the microscope a reasonable distance away at the cost of magnification. It also has a higher magnification mode that works only when the thing you are trying to look at is right at the end of the microscope. The scroll wheel on the cord for the LED brightness is very useful as you don't need to touch the microscope to change the brightness which means you don't accidently move it. I have used mine for just generally looking at things, smd LEDs, E-paper displays etc. It is powerful enough to look at the pixels on your phone or monitor. I have also used it for smd soldering where it's long range came in very helpful as I could keep the microscope at a distance whilst using a hot air reflow gun whilst still having the benefit of the magnification of the microscope showing on a large screen. After soldering I could use the higher magnification mode to inspect the individual solder joints. The microscope coped comfortably with applying solder paste and components of 0402 size and qfn44 and I am confident enough in its ability to try smaller and more dense packages. Overall brilliant scope, very easy to use and works very well.

DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP! If you're intending to use this with an Android phone AVOID AVOID AVOID. I know it's cheap but that's where I went wrong, thought it was a bargain. But the 4 apps the instructions tell you download are useless; 2 don't even exist anymore and the other two are unusable, so you're essentially paying for a digital microscope you can look at and that is it. I have no idea if the microscope even works because the apps don't, so yeah avoid this product. I've returned mine for a full refund. If you want a digital microscope camera but don't want to spend almost 100 quid or more then maybe try one of the kids camera ones, they don't appear to connect to another device as they have screens themselves by the looks of it and they're around £20-30 at the cheapest end so I think that's what I will probably try next once the refund goes through.

This 2K HD USB microscope from Jiusion is a big step up from previous models.I have been using this microscope for about one month for adding/removing electronic components via soldering 0201 size chip components (these are very tiny parts and need to be picked up with ultra fine tweezers) and 0402 electronic components (resistors,capacitors,inductors) to small printed circuit boards. Adding or removing these very tiny electronic components from a pcb can be quite difficult and tricky and normally requires the use of an expensive stereo optical microscope but I didnt have any problems doing the same job with this microscope at much lower cost. I had the usb plugged into a windows 10 laptop and the choices of software all worked very well.One aspect of the software which I used and was very useful was that when I was viewing very tiny electronic components on the laptop screen and was ready to solder or de-solder the component, I could rotate the view through 0,90,180 and 270 degrees-this gave the optimum view to make soldering/desoldering quite easy and practical.Another aspect of the microscope I liked was that the light source could be controlled in 3 stages from normal brightness to very bright to very very bright via button control. With the very bright light source and the fact that this microscope is 2K HD helps to give a very high quality and well focussed field of view on my laptop and it was easy to zoom into any area of a printed circuit board and focus on a particular 0201 chip resistor component and rather than having just a flat field of vision (as happened with previous usb microscopes) I could view the electronic components as 3-D components so they had height,width and length which made it much easier to solder these very tiny components. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance of this very low cost USB HD 2K microscope which is by far the best USB microscope I have used.

So I got this for my daughter to observe things. It arrived on time,the packaging was good,and the stand was amazing.But the microscope's USB wasn't working properly on either phone or computer,also the type C adapter didn't come with it. Definitely not what I expected.

This microscope is extremely useful for showing details of many objects, without the need to destroy the object. However, prepared objects between slides can be studied as well. Attached a screen copy with S-EYE (the software) connected to the Jiusion USB microscope. You see dried coffee on a plastic slide. The microscope is adjusted to about 1000 times. A disadvantage is that the transparant plastic safety cap at the front of the microscope should be removed first to reach 1000 times.

ok

Great tool to use when you need to work on tiny details. I bought it to help me repair my phone and it perfectly does the job! Easy to install, just downloaded the apps available and you can even zoom 5x extra. Very fine image details with balanced color and contrast. If needed, the app allows you to tweak them even more. I like the illumination and its brightness. Enough to do minuscule work like soldering SMD components. Very nice product for the price. I definitely recommend it.

Perfekt um kleine Tiere zu bestimmen, super Qualität um kleinen preis
