I purchased this microscope for jewelry and coin collecting. It plugs into any standard USB port on any windows and more than likely any Apple computer as well. It includes instructions on where to go to download the drivers and software to get it to function with your computer, no software is included. The setup in my case was very easy, I own a Dell laptop running latest version Windows. The only problem I have with mine is once I open the app and want to use the microscope, I have to manually select it in the app settings every time. Kinda annoying but once it’s selected you don’t have to do it again until you close and reopen the app. As far as performance is concerned I’m impress d with the clarity and quality of the video it produces. The closer you put the camera to the object the higher the magnification. I like to keep mine about two inches or so from whatever it is I’m looking at unless I really need to focus in on a spot, then I can just bend it closer and re adjust the focus until the object becomes clear again. Build quality is a little on the flimsy side but not bad for the price at all. I use it mainly to identify coins and check the quality of jewelry. It has already paid for itself many times over by helping me determine real from fake rare coins that I’ve purchased here on eBay. As far as grading coins is concerned, that is better left to using a 5x or 10x Loupe in my opinion because the microscope will show every single tiny mark and all coins, even high end mint state ones look badly damaged under it. I would recommend this microscope to anybody who wants to get a closer look at anything really since it is cheap and works very well.Read full review

Bought this USB microscope since it was a step up from the cheapest units. Very nice quality and fast shipping. Had to fiddle with the aspect ratio setting in their viewer program to get it set up properly. Works great, I'm using it to look at coins, pretty perfect. It also takes pictures, which I did not realize nice added feature.

I am using this microscope for my coin collecting and searching coins for errors and double dies. It works great. At first, I had issue with software installations but through their online customer support, I got that fixed right away. They are very nice to deal with. I will most likely purchase another microscope for my tablet so that I can have one for mobile use. Thank you.

It's what one would expect for the price, works fine for hobby work. 250X Magnification is pretty much false advertising, would have to be viewed on a movie theater screen to do that! Does what I expected, a half-inch of surface fills the monitor screen so you do the math. I'm using it to see numbers on Surface Mount Electronics, Diodes, Resistors and such and it does the job. Has cool features like tap the top of the scope and it snaps a pic. Set up was easy, worked first time.
