The Best thing about this Review. Finally putting a face to the voice I learn so much from. Thanks My Guy, IMSAI.

[@monteceitomoocher]

Slightly younger voice than the face!, very knowledgeable guy though.

The Problem with many of these Microscopes are that the lens is too close to the object, so it is hard to do soldering. To fix that you need to use another lens between the microscope lens and the object that create an image of the object at some distance and then use the microscope lens to magnify that image. Using high school physics formula: 1/f=(1/do) +(1/di) we can find out what f we need.

Creative video, thanks :)

I had three of these just die on me. Screens develop white lines or just outright die. No extreme use and they were just sitting on my desk. Please retest this device after a couple of weeks to see if it develops any screen failures. The return process was awful, so I just gave up on it. I do have a broken one still sitting in a box, so I can send it to you if you want to investigate.

Yes, he looks a lot like my Diffy Q Prof from way back when. Great review.

[@user-vl5eh6mp5g]

Great review. I pick DM602 Flex with flexible arm finally. Too many device on my workdesk and DM602 Flex saves space and offer more working range. It will change my life!

[@mickblackmore290]

What do you think of the ARM? Is it to short, does it hold the weight, fully extended, and does it shake easley, Thanks

[@merrittderr9708]

So with the included slides, the microscope is the bee's knee's. :o)

[@tomlov]

👍👍

I bought the 602 Pro for getting better pictures to examine certain stamps under long-wave and short wave uv light. My Samsung tablet is somewhat unable to get reasonably accurate pictures under those conditions, compared to plain eye visuals. I was hoping the Tomlov chip would fare better under long-wave uv (stamps will glow blueish-white) and short-wave uv (stamp would glow greenish-white) light. Unfortunately, the Tomlov camera chip almost completely fails when it comes to blue light sensitivity. Stamps that visually glow bright blueish and barely glow blueish do not really show the same marked difference when photographed with the Tomlov chip. The images under short wave uv light are better, but stll lacking. So to sum up for philatelists having the same idea: Not recommended.

[@dieterkohler2206]

The biggest letdown of this microscope is the low-end ccd chip which has an actual max. resolution of around 2500*1400. A far cry from the advertised 24MPixels. The high resolutions you can pick from the menu are all fake upscales.

[@xenoxaos1]

These are all dash cam on a stand. They are never matching the resolution of the sensor.

[@mickblackmore290]

Hello, IMSAI Guy. I looked on the tomlov site and can't find the resolution do you know if it's 4k or 1080 I/P and would you buy one. I'm looking. Thanks Mick

[@dieterkohler2206]

The chip has a 24MPixel resolution (5600*4200)for photographs. Video is upto 2880*2160 24fps

[@dieterkohler2206]

Correction: The chip is 4MPixel only. Omnivision OV4689X. Also the resolutions given in the Manual are incorrect (real res is about 1/2 to 1/3)..

[@iowahank1]

Puts my 5 incher to shame. But it is a bit out of my price range.

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

it's looks like a toy comparing to a professional bench microscope you would need for smd working

[@ThermalWorld_]

Those microscopes are trash in confront of optical microscope, especially if you want to use it for repair or chip inspection.

[@absurdengineering]

Well, they are optical, just a different eyeball looks through the optics. I agree that the cameras they use aren’t the best they could be. But the price takes that into account. You can get similar style microscopes for 3-4x the price that have excellent cameras and are much nicer on the body to use than the pure optical ones.

[@ThermalWorld_]

@@absurdengineering the optics on those digital microscopes are trash too, no just the camera this things have.. You can get very cool 45x optical microscope for the same prize.. the difference is colossal.

[@mickblackmore290]

@@ThermalWorld_ WHERE? is this 45x optical microscope for $260.00
