The Microscope includes built-in LEDs that can be dialed through a range of brightness levels to properly illuminate your subject. Unlike many other USB microscopes, these LEDs shine through a diffuser to combat glare.
Windows USB Video Class (UVC) support is built in to all versions of Windows from XP and above. This includes Windows 11, 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, and XP. Companion software is available on our website that allows finer control of the device, or any other video capture software can be used.

macOS and OS X Mac computers with OS versions 10.5.x and above have built-in support for USB Video Class (UVC) devices. Companion software is available on our website that allows finer control of the device, or you can use any video capture software, including Photo Booth (with limitations).
Chrome and Android Works on all Chrome OS devices with the built-in Camera application. Android compatibility isn't guaranteed. Many newer Android devices support the microscope using an OTG cable and a separate viewing application. Select Android devices may not work, and it's up to the device manufacturer to support external cameras. We suggest to check with the manufacturer of your Android device for official information.
Some specific device classes, such as USB cameras, are handled differently by operating system privacy/security settings. If you aren't seeing an image output from the microscope, or you see a message that your "Camera is being used by another application", you may need to change these privacy/security settings.
First, make sure that the microscope is set as the default device in the Settings menu. The Settings menu can be opened by clicking on the grey gear-shaped icon in the upper left corner of the Digital Viewer window.
In some cases, the devices in this menu have the wrong name. If you have the microscope selected in this menu and still see output from another webcam, try selecting each device in this menu until the preview window shows output from the microscope.
Windows has a specific issue that can pop up with the microscope. The microscope uses the same USB Video Class drivers as most built-in and external cameras which can cause Windows to mix-up the listing.
If you set the microscope as the default device but see your other camera its likely that the listing was mixed up. To check if listing was mixed up, try picking your other camera from the drop down menu, and see if the microscope view shows up instead.
If the microscope view shows up on your monitor after picking your other camera, the listing was mixed up. There are steps that we could try to see if we can fix the listing. We do need to be clear, that as this is a Windows issue, it may reoccur with Windows Updates and other events. Let's give these steps a try to see if it clears the listing up:
NOTE: After completing these steps, Windows will still name the microscope as "Rift DK2 Sensor". To confirm these steps worked, look for an entry for Rift DK2 Sensor under Imaging Devices. You must select "Rift DK2 Sensor" to use the microscope in Plugable Digital Viewer or other applications.
You should now be able to see the microscope image appear, and be ready to examine things! This is a fairly typical setup for most camera programs. But, it's always a good idea to review any instructions from the application developer for specifics.
We see a lot of people use the microscope for their coin and stamp collections, plants, circuits, and other hobbies. Here's an example of a few items under the microscope, including a speckled vinyl record, some moss spores, and a quarter:

But with this microscope you can take photos. With most scientific journal requesting photos of microscopic findings these days, I believe it will be easier for you to get a publication in a reputable journal!
I got this for $25 last time they brought it out and reduced it to half price (about 6 months ago). It's not bad at all for what it is. Had a great time looking at things with my kid. Less fun but very interesting was verifying those specs in the dog bowl were fleas. Don't expect CSI style pictures. The IQ is so so but definitely usable. The software isn't very user friendly but it does seem to be reasonably stable.
Now shit hit the turbofan and the airplanes are being grounded in multiple countries, I expect that in the aftermath Boeing will patch the software and update the training manuals, maybe pilots will be required to undergo a full retraining. Still I get the bad feeling that they designed a fundamentally unstable aircraft and any attempt at a software solution will be nothing more that a band-aid prone to failure.
Steve Wozniak used to go to disadvantaged primary schools, loan the kids powerbooks for the year and give them lessons in using all types of software and basic networking. It would have made a great impact. 2ff7e9595c
