AmScope5.0 MP USB Still & Live Video Microscope Imager Digital Camera + Calibration Kit

Eyepiece fits perfectly into my binocular compound microscope. Software loaded first time onto my Windows 10 laptop. Have since updated the software via the AmScope web site, again with no issues. What a joy!Was delighted to find so many features within the software, particularly the ability to measure what is on screen with the calibrated grids. Can easily share what's on the microscope slide via Zoom (to note my laptop sees two cameras during Zoom calls so you have to select/swap between the laptop's camera and the microscope camera usisng the "join with video" button.I am a technophobe so this was a real pleasure to discover it is idiot proof.

I bought this to go with my amscope microscope as I repair electronics, it was awful, for a start what I was looking at thru the eyepiece and what was up on the pc screen wer not the same, I had to zoom away in to get any picture at all on screen, understandable as the camera did not fit onto my 10x eyepiece, I had to take that out of 1 eyepiece to put the camera into it as per official youtube video showed, I could of lived with that.. then the field of vision was tiny, I could only look at 1 tiny component at a time on screen whereas looking in using 1 eye and a single eyepiece I would usually see around 8 beside each other.. then the worst part at all was the best picture I could get on screen was not good quality, I got better from a £20 one I bought years back, not what I expected from amscope.. guess £95 is too cheap for them to give you something decent.

Not a bad little camera. Works well with my ancient microscope. I did have to dig out an old laptop as the software isn’t particularly compatible with my Mac.

The picture/video quality is poor for this amount of money. I've try it on PC and Mac and the colours are unrealistic no maters how much I play with settings. Plus, on Mac the software crashes every time when I try to save the picture.

Nonostane quanto sponsorizzano, il loro software non é compatibile con Linux. Il software che ti danno da scaricare per Linux non é quello completo, é una versione Lite. L'icona che usano é stata presa dal progetto "Blender". Il software si avvia ma o crasha su due computer (Debian e Mint) all'avvio del live o apre la scheda della camera ma non il video. La stessa telecamera con cheese funziona quindi é qualcosa nel loro software proprietario che essendo tale é impossibile per chi ne é capace autosistemarlo. Peccato perché l'avevo acquistato il prodotto perché fornivano proprio questo software adatto e specifico per microscopio e "compatibile Linux". Ho provato anche ad usare wine e il software per Windows ma non riesco a fare rilevare la camera. Su Windows7 nativo funziona.Modifico il commento solo se provvedono a correggere questi problemi.
