  • Solid Scope
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
I read tons of reviews on other products for buying this microscope and I haven't been disappointed with how it works. I can't vouch for Mac users but on Windows 10 this scope worked first plug-in and run of the "Xploview" app (required to use the camera). Here's a general breakdown: - The plastic stand is nothing extraordinary but it works fine providing appropriate lines for measurement and object alignment. - The scope wand attaches to the plastic stand via a suction cup. This cup has to be mounted in a specific spot on the stand but does so fairly easily and holds in place well. The camera also attaches to this wand by 2 swivel spots on the C-clamp. It allows the camera swivel to move fairly easily. - The camera has a wheel to adjust both the light and focus. These are easy to use and work suitably. It's best to put the camera about 1-2" from the stand to bring the camera into focus first. After that, focus is relatively easy to manage. A "touch" button on top allows the user to take quick snapshots. Pros - Tap photo button on top works great when you prefer to not go back-forth between your PC and camera. - Is stable and easy to use when mounted to the base. - Focus is not difficult and adjusting lighting works as intended. - It does a good job of allowing very close zooming without sacrificing light. - Software is extremely simple to use - Price (it's one of the better priced camera's on here) Cons - Lighting from distances exceeding a few inches is generally not useful...could benefit to be a bit stronger but not necessary in all applications. - Base has a tiny spot that the wand can suction to...could benefit from enlarging this smooth area some. - USB cord tends to get in the way or move the camera sometimes when making adjustments...maybe clamps on the wand bar could alleviate this. Summary: It's a great scope that functionally does what the description states. ... show more

  • A solid budget microscope
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
I purchased this USB microscope for the purpose of examining the primary bevel on knives for scratch pattern and to identify any damage. This scope is well suited to this task. On the lower magnification I can quickly look at the knife bevel with sufficient detail to identify any trouble spots that may need to be addressed with sharpening and the higher magnification is great for getting a clear picture of the scratch pattern. The optics seem pretty good considering the cost. On the higher magnification setting the depth of field does become shallow, but that is to be expected. I really wish there as a way to lock the focus knob into one position as it is easy to bump out of focus when handling the scope. Also, I would have preferred that the capture button and light controls were located inline on the cord like they are on the Optitech microscope that I have. It is easy to accidentally actuate the camera function. For the price, this is an excellent value and I would recommend it. ... show more

  • Great response time
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
I normally do not leave reviews. I will this time. The picking, shipping and packing was above par. The Carson eflex, well for the price, I could not be more happy with it. The scope was simple to set up and the soft ware was responsive. Make sure that you have a relatively new computer. Carson could have put out the optimal specs. The suction cup is average at best. That's ok. The overall package is more than amazing for the cost. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a cost efficient digital microscope. ... show more

  • Great for coin and currency collectors
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
I am very happy with this product. Going through hundreds of coins and bills can be very tedious using a magnifier but this little gem allows me to put the images on screen and fly through my collection. Included are a few examples of a 1995 quarter and a $100 bill. I have only a couple small complaints but for the price and considering this is basically a modified webcam, I shouldn't expect absolute microscope perfection. The color of the LED lights are not true daylight so your colors might be off a little bit (which you can adjust in the settings), and the image tends to distort while moving the scope (which is perfectly normal for webcams). Also on my wish list is in a future version, they make the flex arm higher so we can get wider images using the stand. ... show more

  • Great scope for the price
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
Overall, this is a great microscope for the price. You just cannot beat it. The subject of your image must be completely still, and you have to be very close to it in order to get a decent image. Looking at fine details is super easy. I used this for my internship, and I must say I'm pleased. Also, you want good lighting for the best images. White background is best, maybe a lamp should be on near your subject, as well. You have to download the software, but it's easy and free. I am really pleased with this product. I've attached a variety of images I've taken with it to show how lighting makes or breaks the picture. I recommend this to anyone who has the patience to focus the microscope and take a lot of pictures and sort through them later. Great buy! ... show more

  • It does the job for the price paid
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
I own version 3 of the product. I'd like to give it five stars, but the setup process didn't go without a hitch. Although the software instructions do not mention a need to reboot installing to Windows 10, a reboot was necessary for the software to find the camera -- even though device manager indicated it was installed and working. The image is a bit grainier than I would've expected while looking at the live image, but single snapshots are clearer -- lots of wavy lines in the video image. It's inexpensive. I can deal with imperfections. Hopefully over time, the product will continue to improve. Photos attached of native silver ore and autunite (uranium) mineral at 300x magnification. ... show more

  • Great, and easy to use with provided software
Style: eFlex (MM-840)
This is a great, easy to set up product that tonight my husband will be able to use while teaching biology from home. The light could use some diffusing for shiny subjects but we'll figure out how to diffuse it a little bit. Sharp images, quality well built product. We will update as we use it more. We had purchased a competitors product first, which didn't work on Mac, and the software that we had to download for the PC didn't work properly (recognize the microscope) no matter how many times we put it on, took it off, etc. ... show more
