The scope

I feel my best purchase in 2019 was an USB magnifier with which I can take snapshots.



Check out this pic of trichmoes.

Salutations Zoic,

There's a multitude of possible similar clone variations to expect, Windows describes mine as follows:
Under Linux i vaguely recall this would read something like "1871-7670" using LSPCi, which in turn refers to "Aveo Technology Corp.", then their AV312 chip which possibly provides hints on graphical performance. Newer AV319 chips already date back to at least 2011 and only support 640x480 @ 25 fps, for example.

IMO future readers may appreciate having such information in order to seek the best value for their money, once the temptation to get one for themselves becomes irresistible...



Here are a few samples, to stimulate further interest:
Still somewhat "clear" or "early" above (few mature hairs are seen), with a comparative juxtaposition below showing nearly the same vs Tumbled Weed (e.g. from a lack of trichome glands), besides compressed stuff though with mature orange and purple hairs.

Or worse...


It may be a result of marginal human intervention (below it looked too good to be true and was actually never encountered again...):


Then lets conclude with some horror display:

Elsewhere some members i showed it too once even commented it evoked "blasting", as i recall... So i guess the last sample got roasted beyond greed.

In any case that's quite sufficient to evaluate trichome color i believe, while practice makes perfect. Enjoy exploring such unsuspected world with new eyes, so to speak!

By the way, there are wireless units with desirable options as a stable stand, etc.

Good day, have fun!!

Here is a magnified pic of pm from the first of the clones that were infected.

I bought one a few years ago but it won't work since I installed Windows 10. Check out an insect with one...trippy!

I got one of these...kinda cool.

Where you get that?

I think it was amazon.ca or Ebay.ca

I don't see it on there anymore though...they have this one now at stupid money. I paid around $100 for it when i got it 3 years ago.
https://www.amazon.ca/Veho-Discovery-Microscope-Magnification-VMS-008-DX3/dp/B07MC8KMFF/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3?crid=I3RYGCLT3CXB&keywords=veho+microscope&qid=1554165301&s=gateway&sprefix=veho,aps,149&sr=8-3-fkmrnull

I get the idea they don't make it anymore.

Well mine was only $30. I did not want to spend the dough on a high end microscope and this does just fine in all of its 640x480 glory. I really like a magnifier that can take snapshots.

Salutations,

Just keep in mind everyone may not get so lucky finding fair bargains, for example:
Back in October 2011 i could have commented that this Celestron 44320 Microscope kit acquired from Khan Scope Centre (Toronto/On) just felt fraudulent as i got most displeased to pay 128.76 $ CAD (all fees incl.) only to realize it was commercialized as a toy and quite probably a cloned one, considering its plastic quickly eroded within days after delivery...

Cost and resolution don't tell its whole story, such particular product obviously wasn't adequate for manipulation by any normal kid, not even adults actually: it optics generated intolerable amounts of chromatic aberration including in non-digital mode until it literally started to fall apart.

Good day, have fun!!

i got rooked on that Celestron..store let me take 200$ binoculars instead..better than zero

I got mine today

Plugable
USB 2.0
Digital Microscope

From Amazon, paid $36 something with tax.

If I've known that this gadget would make my life easy I would have bought it a long time ago instead of that 60x loupe. If you have some extra dough....IMO, its worth it.

I got a Celestron digital microscope that I used twice - it won't work on windows 10, so it's sat in a box ever since. It's going cheap if someone is still using windows 8....lol

Have you tried using "Compatibility Mode"? Try setting it for Windows 7.

Yeah, I've tried everything. I even downloaded upgraded software but still won't work.so I gave up.I'll sell it in a garage sale or something!

Having fun playing with this scope

Samples of 250x magnification






Pretty cool stuff
