Customer Reviews


This is truly a great scope. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Decent sized. Not as big as a scary lab scope, but not a small as a joke scope for a little kid.
-Bright light. Pictures very clear.
-Interesting prepared slides.
-Good selection of specimen (gum media, yeast, and shrimp egg). Yeast is surprisingly active.
-Extremely fast shipping and delivery (shipped/old from Adorama Camera)
-Contains a light pen to view physical objects (needs batteries which come with the scope).
-High magnification levels.
-Easy focusing.
-Comes with blank slides AND cover glass.
Cons:
-THE PICTURE LIES! This microscope is actually white, not silver. (MINOR)
-Must be plugged in. Not that major, but batteries would be nice. (MINOR)
-Digital microscope software only compatible with Windows. (MAJOR)
-Packaging was extremely tight. Very tough to get things out of the microscope carrying case without feeling like you're going to break it. (MINOR)
-Cover glasses are very sticky and stick to each other/the slides. (MINOR)
With only one of the cons being major, I'd definitely suggest this scope to anybody looking for a good one.

This is a very conventional microscope. It's magnification range is huge for the price. It can be used with or without a computer. The computer image produced is excellent. The software is very, very simple, but it serves the purpose. It looks to be an 'off the internet' generic app for any type of video capture device ... not specifically created for this microscope. The body of the scope is heavy metal. The lenses are glass, not plastic. It is more or less par focal. It comes in an excellent padded, plastic carring case with room for everything ... very rugged. It has a standard slide stage which should accept calibrated slide-movement add-ons. The quality of this microscope is far superior to the Digital Blue computer microscope (formerly known as the Intel scope). The Digital Blue has an all plastic body with plastic lenses. It is geared towards children whereas the metal microscope is not. Nevertheless, the Digital Blue scope has very useful characteristics lacking in the metal scope: the barrel is removable allowing the scope to be hand-held (very useful) and the software, although geared to children, is very full-featured. The Digital Blue scope, although very useable, does not have the rugged professional feel of the metal scope. Something to consider: Digital Blue has dropped support for the model I have. I cannot use it with my current computer running Windows 7 and this scope must be used with a computer. It has no eyepiece. That is why I bought the new scope. Otherwise, I would be continuing with the Digital Blue. For this reason, I will not be buying anything else from Digital Blue. Final note: the bottom lighting of both scope is very good. The top lighting of the Digital Blue is excellent and under software control. The light provided for specimen illumination from the top with the metal scope is a small flash light that mounts through a hole in the body. It is totally useless. Final, final note: although I am a very seasoned computer user (and developer), I had trouble getting the software supplied with Ioptron to work. Once I got it to work, there was no further problem. In contrast, the software with the Digital Blue sets itself up automatically and just always works: very intuitive and fun.
