Electronic Microscope, low priced 14 Mega Pixels, Great results....!!!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

That is a really neat toy. Looks like fun.

[@pierresgarage2687]

This is a real nice toy, maybe can be used as a tool also, nice quality and well built, even can be used with many other different lenses... Very happy I got it to experiment.... ;) Cheers, Pierre

[@ChrisB257]

This seems a very good device - quite impressed. The ant behaved very well :)

[@pierresgarage2687]

Ants are trainable, you need lots of sugar... lol Happy I got this microscope, more uses in mind, lots of those in mind....

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

Well Pierre, Possible poor man’s optical comparator I like it. Thanks for taking the time to share this one with us. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

[@pierresgarage2687]

When I seen the graticule in the dispaly, that got me triggered to imagine applications, here is one... ;) Hope you're getting some Spring weather coming your way, here it's quite slow to show up, but, there is hope... lol

[@outsidescrewball]

enjoyed...good review

[@pierresgarage2687]

Hi Chuck, hope cold is gone from your shop, you can't wear anything thicker as a coat or you'll disapear... ;)

[@pauldevey8628]

You exceeded my attention space at 10 seconds.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Geeezzzzz... You're slow on the off switch..... lol Cheers Paul, Pierre

[@johnswilley6764]

Thank you for making time to show this piece of equipment, it would appear that it's worth the money; even though when I check the price today I found it cost~$200, jumped ~$30 in less than 2 months.

[@pierresgarage2687]

If you're not in a rush, you can check the price for the discount period, it comes on a regular basis... ;)

[@johnswilley6764]

Thank you Pierre, it is very kind of you to take the time to give me that info, I appreciate it. As an aside, (and a subscriber) I just want to say that I appreciate the quality and professionalism which I see presented in your videos, the detailed information is greatly appreciated and there are those of us with the capability to remain focused greater than 15-20 minutes . I'll look forward to more of your productions. Again, I thank you Sir.@@pierresgarage2687

[@pierresgarage2687]

Thank you very much for the kind words, it's a lot of work to make those videos, and, to hear from a subscriber that he appreciate is some nice rewarding moment... Hope to get back on producing more new content, this Winter was a little on the morale, but, working on filling up on motivation for another fresh start soon... ;)

[@SouthernEngineering]

Thanks again for the great review. F.Y.I. Banggood bumped the price $38 since you posted this.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Try using this coupon code coupon code: 14MEDM This should give you 20% discount, not sure until what date, though...

[@colmone5592]

Looks good value for money.

[@pierresgarage2687]

This is in deed a great microscope, if you have access to C type monting lenses, it could even be a better deal.... Happy I got to try it and I'm having plans for intense use in the future... Seems like a very reliable item... ;) Thanks for viewing and for comment, Pierre

[@houseofbrokendobbsthings5537]

Thanks Pierre - great review. Ink jet is a scam. 😂 Feeling a need to have this for a project coming up. Great assistant for old eyes. _Dan_

[@pierresgarage2687]

I was just calming down about the ink jet cartridges prices, easy to get me started again............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GGGGGRRRRRRR......!!! That's it you done it...!!! lol BTW, what you pay, let's say, $70.................... Cost them less than $1 or at the very most $2, INFURIATING, UNRELIABLE, INK SUCKERS.... Again, I'm started.... ;) Guess it's gonna be another sleepless night.... Cheers, Pierre

[@EverettsWorkshop]

That's cool especially since it even comes with software that allows angle and distance measurement, like you say it appears to have basic optical comparator ability. I was considering a portable old school overhead projector that was on sale at the local second hand store for 60 bucks, but after seeing that camera I'm thinking that I'll pass on the projector and save some shekels for something like what you're using there. Looking long-term, my vision is good now but now that I'm over 40 it's not guaranteed from here on to be good . . . Thanks for sharing!

[@pierresgarage2687]

I'm glad I got this microscope, the quality is way higher than the cheaper one I already got, it's not just for when you lost partial sight, also great for anything that you need to see close-up, as an example, you can spot the tinyest spec of dirt or break or detect wear before you could even imagine... Cheers, Pierre

[@Rolingmetal]

nice camera. I asume it is manual focus but can it do focus peaking?

[@pierresgarage2687]

Like you say it's manual focusing, I don't believe there is any option for electronically altering or modifying the focus, on this camera the image is really neat and clear, better that you'll see on KZbin that will compress the data in order to save space...

[@dd0356]

thanks for the elaborate review. very useful. i hope, they supply it with an hdmi monitor in a compact package, with reduced pricing :)

[@pierresgarage2687]

The HDMI monitor is better purchased locally, even a used one would be a prefered option. Chineses get good shipping rates on small packages, don't seem to be the case on bigger shipments...

[@skiptracer8703]

Thanks Pierre Super Review -jim

[@pierresgarage2687]

Hi Jim, nice of you to say you appreciate, this makes my day.... Cheers, Pierre

[@stephenwagar2663]

Hey Pierre !! Cool tool !! Can You Show Close Up Of Grain Structure Of High Speed Steel ??? 47.553 Thumbs Up !!! Yer Doin A Dam Fine Job As Usual !!!

[@pierresgarage2687]

Glad I got to do something with it, lots of future projects for it, imagination is kinda the limit. Glad you dropped by and commented, Pierre

[@zephyrold2478]

I secon that.

[@SuperMouseDV]

I have the lower resolution one myself and HATE IT.. Seriously thinking of getting this one or the higher resolution models.. You sold me on it Plus I have a way of recording it in 4:2:2 pro Rez (gotta love Atomos) subscribing .. Thanks

[@pierresgarage2687]

Just like you say, the lower resolution scope isn't much good for recorging good images. My opinion on it is that the video chips used on it are real crappy. On the orher hand for the higher resolution unit, they use as a base some kind of a CCTV body with the required adaptors in order to make a good macro photography camera. In my opinion it's worth the extra money if you require good resolution enlargements. Atomos system is a great monitor/recorder...! And, thanks for subscribing and for taking a moment to leave a nice comment, Pierre

[@SuperMouseDV]

@@pierresgarage2687 no problem when someone gives me good advice I let them know and thank them will be upgrading soon. Thanks again .

[@infoanorexic]

I've considered the practicality of using an old scanner for a "poor man's optical comparator." It might work for simple stuff, if there is room for scales to fit with the part. It would not be easy to align, though. That camera is certainly something to keep in mind.

[@pierresgarage2687]

This is simple enough, like you say the scales are the key to good and precise data. For a good source of backlight, you can use an old LCD moitor or tv, you gut it out and keep only the fluorescent tubes and diffusing pannels, this makes an excellent light table. The camera is able to do what ever you want from it , just depending on the lenses you install on it. Quite versatile mostly with the few built in features...

[@MaturePatriot]

I must be a fluke, because I watch the whole video, when it comes to machining. Will a small mirror above the unit reflect the infrared to operate the remote controls from lower angles. I used to bounce my TV remote off a wall picture. Great demonstration video. Do you use the Canon Vixia cameras for you videos. I have two that I use. That Ant video reminds me of the movie 'THEM!'.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Guess that some reflective surface will solve the issue. I got a few Vixias 2 HR-600 and one Vixia G40, everything is better than Go-Pros or similar, also the possibility to add an external microphone, so much a need in an noisy environment. The G-40 is a real good camera... All the old folks here seem to remember " Them " lol Cheers, Pierre

[@MaturePatriot]

@@pierresgarage2687 I've got a HR-600 and a HF R30. Have used the 30 much but the 600 is a great camera.

[@pierresgarage2687]

The thing I find about those models, HR-600 and 30, is the lens isn't very wide angle, if you add some cheaper wideners then the quality is really affected, lost of the filming here is done in situations where space is limited and I can't place the camera far enough to catch everything... This is where the Vixia HR- G40 is doing great the lens is catching as wide as the other cameras with out installing a widener on the lens, the only drawback is the price, though, maybe one day Google will contribute enough to help me break even... lol

[@bcbloc02]

I am glad I try not to work on stuff that would require the use of such a tool. :-)

[@pierresgarage2687]

That little stuff would get lost for ever among your BIG rigs... lol Yap, but, someone got to do it, guess it's gonna have to be me... ;)

[@weshowe51]

Better check the software out, it seems bugged... :) I watched the 2nd video first, this looks like it has enough resolution to be useful. At 1920x1080, there must be some finite distance between each pixel at full optical resolution. I wonder what that would be.

[@pierresgarage2687]

As far as you can magnify using optical way, there is not much limitation on how many pixels there are, the resolution is going to be better than what the scales and the DRO can resolve, the software seems to work all right, just more difficult to calibrate the scaling on it as the magnification will afect the distance every pixel represent. you would need to keep everything fixed after such calibration, i.e. Zoom and focus...

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Cold Canadian winter, watching ants groom 😁

[@pierresgarage2687]

Got to catch more that one is gone...!!! lol

[@QuietMikeU-S-A]

Like to see a kitchen knife edge.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Possible, if I could only get a little spare time and even more important, remember... ;)

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Now keep that out of your nose. It seems to work great.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Now I'm friend with an ant... They're hard working folks... lol

[@richarddouglas8307]

Nice but they increased the price $40 since you made the video

[@pierresgarage2687]

I posted a coupon code in the description, use this: =====20 % discount==== coupon code: 14MEDM Let me know if it doesn't work...

YOU MADE A DATE WITH HER , SO COULD GET GREAT FOOTAGE ??? :-)

[@pierresgarage2687]

Now, it's how to get rid of her and the rest of the colony, they're invasive.... lol
