Some of the images in this listing have NOT been cropped or manipulated but are of actual "raw" unedited images to show actual results from the microscope.  You can obtain even better results "post-production", if you edit and manipulate your image to suit your needs.

These two images (the image above and the image below) were taken just minutes after installing the camera and the included easy-to-use software CD (notice the depth of field)...

The microscope is in the shape of a hand held pen with a focus dial at the fingertip which takes a little bit of force to move so as to not change the focus to dramatically at once. It feels like a big marker...

Images are seen on your easily seen on your computer (big screens are even better of course) instead of through an uncomfortable rubber eye piece...

When you have your subject in focus, just click your mouse to capture a photo, or even record video (just select the "Video" tab in the software instead of the "Picture" tab). No memory cards to mess with and put in and take out. It connects to your computer with a USB cable. No expensive cards to install on your computer. Your images are instantly placed on your computer, taking less steps and using less time than camera connections.

You can even add a helpful caption to your photo to help keep your work organized.  Some small font text is seen at the top left of this photo with a time and date stamp at the bottom left as well...

This listing is for one microscope, a small black cradle to store the microscope upright, and a video/image capture software program CD. If you were to try to shop around online and buy a simular image and video capture program online it would cost $40 to $50, and wouldn't have all of these unique features.

Here are some more examples of what we captured within minutes of installing the microscope for the first time (the two photos shown below).  Even better results can be achieved by using diffuse translucent light.  Natural light is best but photo studio lights with diffusers can work great.  You can also adjust the exposure settings, manual color balance and brightness controls, etc. but these images were taken starting out with an automatic setting without using diffuse lighting, etc.  Remember, the ring in the photos is just a Cubic Zirconia ring and the gold coin is in poor condition--we're working on getting some images of high-end fine jewelry, loose stones, etc. to really show off the capabilities...

We highly recommend a Flexible Arm Stand for small to medium items and also a 3 Fixed-Position Stand for small flat items.  We also have some money-saving specials on combination bundles that include the microscope and stands together in one listing.  The stands and bundles are available in our EBAY STORE!!!  Without a nice stand, you have to use the microscope "free hand", which can be a little shaky unless you have the stillness of a yoga master.  It is also possible to create your own stand out of hardware store and lamp store items (clamps and desk lamp arms, etc.) but professional stands like ours are much better and keep your microscope from being damaged from experimenting with homemade stands. Don't let not having a stand stop you from buying just the microscope, because if you buy just the scope and experiment and learn how to use the scope, you can always buy a stand later on, hopefully in our eBay Store.
