After 10years I'm watching every one of your videos.

yet, another great video. I have seen every single one of yours!

I really am a true fan of your videos! You have really helped me dive deeper into my energy research. Thank you!

Really nice I enjoy every of your videos

You're one one of those guys. one of those guys that knows what he's doing, and knows it. And has fun. Keep it up!

very nice review video, liked the way u speak clear no hesitations :)

"and other kinds of ists" i like your videos because they are quite informative, yet very fun, and i love your sense of humour

For anyone buying one of these: Make sure you know what magnification factor is right for you! I got a 1000x model and the picture you get from that is crazy magnified. You can find and read 10µm tall writings on CCD-sensors, but since you have no way to zoom out, the writing on a 0402 resistor will show up as a cloud of dots :-) Anyway - thank you China, for making 1000x digital microscopes für $16,-!

wow, i actually really like the pictures of the fabric and metal surfaces. really awesome and clear.

@carabela125 You can do that in the software actually. It's a simple cross, or a circular crosshair with lots of little gradations. No annotated distances though unless you measure stuff manually.

@tntodorov Unfortunately you can't just pick a distance and magnification then adjust the focus as you can with regular microscopes. There are fixed distances and magnifications where things are in focus. Some long distance examples are 5cm / 15x, 10cm / 10x, 15cm / 9x. When you factor in shallow depth of field as well I don't think I would use it for real time soldering.

@aerofart Cosview is the company, Miview is the model series. I've never used a Celestron so I dunno.

Nice review, thanks! You reminded me, that I need to buy microscope for smd work inspection.

Thanks for the fantastic videos. You are teaching me electronics. I have wanted to learn electronics all of my life. Many thanks

u and mr classic game room are le best reviewers ever

Thanks that could become someone's Christmas present.

Thanks for the informative review. I fix Macs, and having that tool could be significant for me. The $59.00 price tag is well within my reach, and the cost/benefit ratio is high.

Interesting product, thanks for the upload.

This video is from 9 years ago, so probably no one cares, but these microscopes also work with the windows camera app as a webcam, so you can get a better take picture button that way, just using space bar

Great review, great channel, as I'm getting older, this is becoming an issue. Thank you for a brilliant review. I'm going to have to buy one

You can get them for much less on Amazon. Personaly it's not worth 15 us dollars

Thanks, that was very informative for me.

Thanks, good review.

I've got the same scope and highly recommend it. I do some hand soldering of very small analog to i2c chips and use this cope on a stand mounted above the work. The bundled software leaves a bit to be desired due to the isues mentioned (aspect ratio, etc..). I've had good luck using this with 'Yawcam' - it's a free webcam utility package and is quite handy (full screen with proper aspect, web server, etc..)

@Afrotechmods Thanks. That makes sense now . . .

We use the version with the rack stand for PCB QC and photographing problem areas to show staff. We were surprised with the quality and shipped from California for 27.00 total. The version here much cheaper from China. Search eBay 2.0MP USB Digital Microscope 25X~200X Magnifier Video Camera w Measure Software

I love your voice dude!

@mondalaci If you go to cosview.com it looks like they only support Windows and Mac OS X

@MrSuednym No it's just the model number

good review yes ... would like to see newsprint to show scale

A suggestion about the stand: If you are having trouble with your surface, all you need is a sheet of anything it will stick to and your good to go. You could just have enough base to hold it up, or you could build a tray and clamps and whatever else you may need.

@TheLameBucket Yes

Holy shit i must order that to my lab thanks for great video demo

An excellent review. I have, only today, become interested in microscopes, etc, after doing some macro photography with my DSLR. I am intrigued as to what insects would look like at this kind of magnification. I see on EBay, that there are some microscopes that go up to 1000x. That must be brilliant. Thanks for a great video.

no only get the 500 more sucks not good

Great product, I like it.

Nice review, as usual. Thanks. So, is this a COSview review, or a MIview review? The box at t=5:00 reads the latter, your video title names the former. Also, setting aside cost considerations, are you able to make any comparison between this microscope and say, any of the Celestron microscopes?

I really want to get my hands on that.

Im gutted now because you have convinced me i NEED one .... NOW! LOL Looks like a cool gadget :) I wonder if they do a version that acts like a telescope ;)

To anyone who has used this: can you use this kind of microscope to see the microstructure of an etched metal surface? It would help me a lot if I could use one of these at home for normal brightfield images. Please answer as soon as possible.

What is your favorite digital microscope you have used ?

How is the color fidelity? I am severely colorblind and usually identify color codes on wires, resistors, ect. by snapping a shot with my phone and using the color picker tool in Paint Shop Pro. Unfortunately, it's hard to get enough area to sample and the flash is useless at close distances (too bright and too blue).

Have you attempted to use the microscope for inspecting decapped ICs and other components? It looks like it might be enough magnification, and clear enough to do it, but its hard to say without having seen it tried. Most optical scopes do 100x-500x (or even more), but I don't know where the edge of the usability is.

Technically speaking you could re-purpose a software to redirect your files, it might not be very efficient but if you REALLY need to save your files elsewhere you can use a software like febooti Automation Workshop to trigger whenever files are saved and move them somewhere else, or you could modify the software for that purpose, whichever seems easier! Thank you for the tutorials!

this is very nice one.

can two identical devices like this be connected to the same pc?

grazieeee!

"Other kinds of 'ists" had me laughing :D Looks like a really awesome microscope. Might need to pick one up!

Why don't you try putting multiple layers of clear, adhesive backed plastic over the area you want to place the suction cup? Great video as usual.

I got a cheap knockoff version of this microscope, and they really are the shiznit! Same experiences that he had, but one extra bonus, if you turn the mag/focus on mine all the way opposite of 200X, it becomes a passable infinity focus webcam. Only drawback to mine is the fact you have just 2 LED light levels, and off. I would recommend these kind of microscopes for everyone!

Nice!

lmao the closeup of a leaf was a classic for me, it was so random...

Did you try the device on USB 3.0? Maybe the higher bandwidth would help increase FPS? (I know the M'scope probably isn't 3.0 complient, but it might exceed 2.0 speed if presented.)

I like to restore watches as a hobby and find that I can do better work with two hands. vs having one hand hold a lope and one a tool. I am interested in a pen microscope for that purpose. how ever to use it effectively. it would have to be live video of what I am doing. I would guess by the low FPM rate this would not do the trick?

$60? I know this video is 3 years old, but I was able to get one of these microscopes for $16 delivered off eBay about 6 months ago. I wish more things were like electronics in that they are the ONLY things that gets cheaper as it gets better.

best microscope for 01005 ??

I got a cheaper one that seems to be the exact same electronics. It works like a USB webcam so I just use the system default Camera app on later versions of Windows (8, 8.1, 10) I recently had a Surface RT and Surface 2 given to me. Both are ARM instead of x86-64 so they don’t run standard Windows applications even though they have Windows 8.1. This makes them almost useless, since Microsoft has abandoned them and the Windows Store isn’t exactly brimming with ARM-compatible Windows apps. Luckily, Microsoft includes RT-compatible Windows drivers for many basic devices, including webcams. I figured that it would be good to dedicate one of these as a display for my USB microscope. Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly Plug’n’Play, since the system prompts for drivers. I gave up at first until I googled and saw some other being marketed for Windows RT. Turns out, you have to know what category Microsoft keeps the standard USB webcam drivers in then browse to those and force the system to accept them. The OS balls but I did it on both RT tablets and it does work. These are technically “RT” versions of Windows 8.1 so they do have the system “Camera” app. The button that normally switches between front and rear camera now just adds a third camera into the mix. You can still change the aspect in the camera settings but it doesn’t remember it for long (annoying!). Of course, I don’t get any of the measurement features of the other software but it does work. Just thought I’d throw this out there for anyone else with an old nearly-useless Windows RT machine/device. I doubt I’ll be so lucky with a USB oscilloscope though. :)

Do you think this can be used for gem inspections?

My 10X Jewelers Loupe has generally been adequate for finding bad solder connections and identifying parts. Nevertheless I dislike like having to squint my eyes for extended periods while looking at circuit boards. In spite of it's potential usefulness this type of microscope does not look like an ideal way to view large areas. Thanks for all the informative videos.

4:54 ...dermatologists and other kinds of ists! Lol das funny lel

If the image had a precision grid superimposed it would be very useful

you can get some bare dice by carefully (hehe) burning the plastic package of a chip then when it turns white and stops smoking, you can carefully break it in half, and the die will pop right out, ready to view. Some experimentation with heat will get some decent dice. also, a big power resistor (hollow) is excellent since heat control is very good (just control current through it).

I thought the speed limit was imposed by the device connected.?

@colinstu Hehe nice catch. PS2.

Cool, are there any alternatives? Is this the best USB microscope?

very nice device, please tell me a software that you use.I will order soon, one of this equipmnet to screen my skin.i have some problem with my skin arround the neck.I want to ask that you might know a dermatoscopic software. With respect, Andrew

It help find cracks in soldier.

nice

@TheLameBucket - He confirmed that at the beginning of the video.

So UM is Micrometers?

2019 and despite its age it is still going strong for my "quality assurance" of eh.... plants.

Cold day in hell before I pay 60 dollars for a 15 dollar scope.

Does it work with Windows 7?

Do they sell these at WALMART??? Or frys?

That's a novel idea, taking the old optical model and moving to a less expensive digital format. Lots of other competitors who make similar devices, sold on Amazon and elsewhere.

good voice - can you do a voice over for a couple of videos :)

Nice tool to check bud quality (puff puff any1?), but for technicians theres nothing like plain eye sight and a regular microscope with led light for inspection.

i don't know how i got here but this is AWESOME

Man I like no nonsense videos. Fast forward 9 yerars they are becoming a rarity . Currently Andostar is leading in price performance ratio. I Just bought one with stand from their Aliexpress site for 42 bucks with adjustable stand.

That's very useful to check a phonograph stylus.

Is there software available for mac? If so, this microscope has just found another customer... :)

Well , Dealextreme has one for 29.90 ! WOO !

@Afrotechmods For the save directory. Make a batch file with this, if you want it to, you can add it as a scheduled task in the control panel. In linux you can use cron. move "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Still*.jpg" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Pictures\magnified\"

With Linux just use Cheese - it works with most webcams out of the box, and uses the full resolution of the camera inside. Only drawback is the button does not work at all, you need to press the space on the keyboard. Can take single shot, multi shot or video.

there are 20dollar usb microscope with a zoom between 50 and 500 magnification XD you just have to look right and youl get even better stuff

If you're interested in the microscope specifically, that would be optics/optical physics/optical engineering. The circuit board stuff is electrical engineering. Think about becoming an engineer! I'm an electrical engineer and things are great!

Thanks a million.. now wait.. thanks a 30 for saving me 30 bucks :))

and heres a close up of a leaf XD

Oh god that's what my skin looks like

"a little blurring"? To me that's painful blurring...

These are basically glorified webcams and can be used with pretty much any program you can use a webcam with. Most systems have an environment that may be better than whatever comes with the scope. I am not familiar with this particular scope, but I have a similar scope and the software was horrible.

take my money.
