This a word from rainy say 1080p，antique.

it is pretty good microscope that can be easy and convinence to record every tiny things，including ants，spider，and fibers and so on. but you can not see the cell，it can be used as antique observation because it come with led light directlly，for video， it come with 480，720，1080 quality video.

A review Lopez say Happy buy!.

Bought based on kid request as a science project and field trip. This is way beyond my expectation:-) Now my kid is checking with lots of tiny thing under the microscope which boost his interest to explore the natural and world largely. He sometimes even takes it to the school and shows to his friend during playdates. his buddies think it is cool!
What a happy buy!

As brian experience Fun Microscope for photographing Hemp Flower.

I bought this for photographing Hemp flower. It does a spectacular job. It was extremely easy to hook up to my phone via Wifi. I had a lot of fun seeing all the details with the flower magnified to that degree. I hope to catalog the various strains I come across and review. This is perfect since I can finally get a highly detailed photograph. The item itself is very sturdy and I appreciate the matte satin finish to the microscope.

While johnny0723 said Wireless and very clear picture!.

This is a great microscope. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to buy this. This is way less bulky than the microscopes I used growing up. The little LED lights inside really help brighten the subject so that it can focus clearly and deliver an impressive image or video. I really like how this thing emits it’s own WiFi signal. Connecting to it was fast and easy. Another thing I like is that it comes with a protective cover for the lens area and a couple of stands. If you’re on the fence about getting a digital microscope, don’t hesitate to consider this one. I’m very happy with it thus far.

As Scott Wilson say Fun microscope to play with.

The app for my Android phone works well. The attached photo is of table salt. You can take a photo either using a button on the microscope or using the phone app. The lag is not bad, which makes it fairly easy to focus. I wish the microscope would run on batteries, but we have a couple of USB battery packs so we can still use it in a portable way.

Another customer EC experience Great microscope.

This microscope is amazing! The pic is pretty clear, you can clearly see all the details when you connected with iPhone. The connection is stable and it’s very easy to set up the connection as well. Having a fun time with my kid with this.

While Sott experience Easy to Use, High performance.

I purchased this microscope to observe the bugs on plants. It is really a good product. It is ready to use when connecting to my phone, I can adjust the lightness and the magnifier. Overall this microscope is fast connected to the displaying device and its instruction is clear and easy to understand. I love it and it comes with professional packing too.

This a word from qijie zhouer Talk This is fascinating.

I’m so glad! I love that we can all see what is under the microscope at one time. I spent an hour with it connected to my laptop, going on a fun journey in my growbox, getting cool close-up shots and seeing everything from a different perspective.This item is worth price

Another customer Amy smith Talk Worked well!.

Wish adjustable holder was taller
All great here. +++
Priced right

This a word from ag experience I love it, but....

The quality of images and magnification VASTLY exceeded my expectations (I was realistic, borderline pessimistic when buying this device though).

I think it's best to start with the attached photos and see for yourself first:
1. a ruler - smallest measure is 1/16 inch
2. a ruler - smallest measure is 1 mm
3. an oat kernel
4. blade of a knife
5. some electronics (I think I could have done a better job with this one)
6. more electronics (same comment as above)
7. black sesame seed (because of the very light background you don't get much detail - lesson learned; look at the magnification for this one though, black sesame or white, the size is more or less the same)
8. skin on a fingertip
9. pixels on a desktop monitor
10. hair

OK, so a couple of things first:
0. this review reflects my very fist impressions about the device
1. I did not try very hard to get best photos, I believe you can do better than what you can see in the attached photos - these photos were taken with the device connected to a Linux machine (Ubuntu to be exact), where it was recognized as a web cam (I used Cheese app for this, if you are interested)
2. I think you can get better magnification by removing the protective cap that keeps stuff away from the front lens, to protect it I guess - the thing is, you need to get closer to get better magnification - I actually tried removing the cap and it kinda worked, but the depth of field is soooo small when you go beyond the distance of the protective cap, that it's difficult to get good photos (not fully tested)
3. I have not tried videos
4. I barely touched the app for PC that comes with the hardware
5. I did try the software for Android that comes with the device, it did not work

What I like:
1. Magnification - the reasonable one, i.e. with the protective cap on, I love it. (Again - if you remove the cap, you can possibly get closer and thus you can get better magnification, but I did not test that.)
2. It works as a regular USB webcam
3. It works with Linux (see above- works as a webcam)
4. Battery operated (would be more useful if it actually worked as wifi camera)
5. Wi-fi connectivity as a feature (I mean I'd like it if it worked with my phone)

What I don't like:
1. does not work on my Android device (installed the software, turned cam on, connected to wifi - black screen; restarted everything - did not help - that was on Pixel 2XL, not sure if it matters).
2. The stand - it's terrible, it will probably look nice on a shelf, but it's not very useful otherwise
3. Android App - it DOES NOT WORK for me
4. the protective cap is too conservative in it's protective duties - it keeps observed object at a distance that I think could be reduced, if the distance was reduced it'd produce much better magnification

Overall - I love it.
Taking away 2 stars only because the Android app is not working - the WiFi feature was the big thing advertised for this device and it just doesn't work for me.
