The resolution is great, and with a little experimenting, you build the skill necessary to focus it while holding the base, as well as selecting the proper background material for particular subjects material

We use it on a MAC, usually in MAC Photo Booth mode and it does everything we need at our Mineral Sluice, as well as looking at tiny bugs, flowers, etc

Excellent tool to determine and document coating failures or contamination

I'm buying one for my daughter in college and for my son in high school as birthday gifts! I was concerned about some of the reports for quality on the LEDS (product is useless without them) but Celestron is a great company for customer service (see the responses to customer comments) and the product has a warranty and that is sufficient for me

Still kinda pixelated in some instances, but GOOD GOOLY is it awesome for the price! i enjoy whit this digital microscope!! it's a good item! i used it only for hobby (to watch insects) and it' very awsome! A great little tool to get a digital magnified image and capture on a PC (don't know about on Apple): not laboratory quality by any means and a bit difficult to maintain a clear image freehand but it performs as I expected or better

We're recommending these to every customer/parent with school age kids
