## Questions & Answers

**Q: can the scope be removed from the stand?**
A: Yes

**Q: Can i get  a picture of a whole coin? the usb microscope i have now will only take  2/3  a pic of a penny.**
A: Yes.  The scope may also be mounted in a variety of ways to achieve the appropriate distance needed to view the item in it's entirety.  I use a camera tripod when needed.

**Q: I have a question about the picture, if you use lights say on a coin, do you lose color?**
A: You shouldn't. There might be a slight shift, but I believe you can correct for it. We have used a few coins and they looked amazing!  The light isn't harsh and is diffused well enough that it is even.

**Q: does it work with Linux?**
A: no

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!  -- EXTREMELY SATISFIED
*by B***B on January 18, 2016*

This is fantastic! EASY to use, and VERY CLEAR/POWERFUL.In a nutshell -- it hooks up to computer via USB cable, and is "plug and play." You can watch live video. EASY and INTUITIVE to take snapshots with your thumb while you are looking at specimens! YOU CAN EASILY RECORD VIDEO of your viewing.Fool-proof! Great resolution, sharp image!I've used this now, extensively, and am always impressed.SAME ITEM SELLS AT BIOLOGICAL COMPANIES FOR twice the price.http://www.carolina.com/field-microscopes/carson-zpix-300-digital-microscope/591714.pr?question=carson+microscopeIf you want, you can buy it there, and with shipping/tax/handling, etc. it'll be TWICE THE PRICE.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ software sucks
*by E***O on June 15, 2025*

I love this microscope, it is powerful, it is easy to manage, I have had fun, a lot of fun since I got it yesterday, the microscope in itself is so much fun... the microscope is so much fun! software is not too good

### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing...
*by W***R on April 30, 2017*

Disappointing... I use these 'scopes in handheld mode to inspect knife edges during sharpening. I was hoping for better depth of field, higher range of magnification and better software than with my Celestron 5MP or my Chinese $20 unit. No such luck. DOF may be slightly better, but software is the worst of the lot. No full screen, no measuring tools. Other scopes can focus on the face plane (I use this surface to handhold on the edges) at two different mags. This one won't.
