    The magnification and clarity is excellent, but the most impressive attribute is the fact that all you have to do is plug it in to the wall socket and connect the scope to a monitor. An HDMI cable is supplied. Once connected, power up the scope and the monitor and let the viewing begin. To save images of your subjects you’ll need a micro SD card that is sold separately.

    Image into our display is great. Two problems however. The display we have and this microscope have trouble initially seeing each other. We have to turn them on and off several times to get them to connect. We realize it may be our monitor. Customer service was no help. Other issue is that on high magnification the focus point is up inside the clear guard lens. This prevents you from examining anything on high mag but very small objects poked up inside. Customer service once again no help. Actually suggested cutting the clear lens off!? As our organization is shopping for 8-10 more of these, we will be looking at another mfg.
