Dino-Lite AM3111 0.3Mp Digital Microscope

Product was good but reporting was not available with that which I wanted so I returned the same , Miss Padma helped me to done the process smoothly. Than you !

The good is it can take a full view of large coins. The bad is the horrible picture quality. The reviews and demonstrations are obviously with a much higher price point microscope. If you want quality photo's don't buy this. Used exclusively for coin photo's and very disappointed. Will be returning.

Solidly built, and extremely easy to use. I downloaded and installed the software from the dino-lite website on my windows 10 laptop, plugged in the dino-lite and it started displaying images instantly. The focus/magnification control works well. With a slight adjustment of the focus control bright clear images were displayed on the laptop. The 640 x 480 resolution is plenty of pixels. Very happy with this little device. Highly recommended.

I am a professional microscopist by trade....so take this review to the bank. Model AM311: price $150. LED illumination and lens quality are just fine, any lens aberrations are low at these magnifications to not be at issue. Big problem and design flaw: focus is not independently adjusted from magnification, for small object magnification limitation becomes physical distance. Proximity to lens is restricted by ridiculous fixed plastic tip...so not very close. Actual usable magnification is 7-9X at best when highest pixel dimension output is selected. Even cheap phones have megapixel cameras, how hard could it be to provide greater than 640X640 resolution? This is an overpriced non-variable magnification field stereoscope with 10 year old image capture tech. Worth about $40.

If you are a biology teacher this simple gadget is a MUST. It allows you to bring material to class and project the microscope's view directly onto the screen. You can see flowers and leaves, bacterial colonies in a Petri dish, moving soil fauna, insects, you name it. You can film video or take still images. Most importantly, it is a welcome novelty over the ever-more-boring Power-Point slides. It basically has the power and resolution of a good dissecting scope for a little over 100 dollars. I love it!
