USB microscope 1600X mod divergent lens

[@matthewvanorden8154]

great work ive been doing similar work here with different pieces of video gear i have just laying around. I am glad to see im not alone

[@viocaia]

Great!

[@MatthewSuffidy]

Yes, I don't want to mess with mine, but it would great to mod it for solder work.

[@viocaia]

In this situation it's no mess, it's just a lens in the front of the original...but experimenting.

[@petersmith5199]

Brilliant idea, thank you for sharing and a very Happy New year !!

[@viocaia]

A good New Year to you too!

IDK what youtube does, I have the "HD" model and the quality is certainly better than that the framerate is the same though but since I'm basically using it for pcb repairs or a stationary object I don't need mines for video(it can do it but not 60fps at those zooms it makes movement look jerky). What the hd version did was crop in and add another megapixel (not gonna be that drastic of a difference, I believe the original is 2mp). I'm about 6 inches or roughly 12-13cm(for the non imperial folk) and I get a decent "zoom". Let's not kid ourselves though it is nowhere near 1000x, maybe 100x or possibly below. Does kinda make you wanna spend more for one with interchangeable lenses even higher workspace range(distance between microscope and object), there's these little cube things that go for less $200 some as low as $130ish on ebay that have HDMI, you do have to splurge on a stand or "boom arm" but if you're doing it for video 60fps may be worth it oh and 38mp to boot. I bought one of these and have no regrets, maybe a 720p 60fps setting? I think they essentially took a webcam circuit and added a lens and manual focus and bam you got yourself a "microscope", that being said for kids or light hobbyist it does the job. the HD version www.amazon.com/Jiusion-2560x1440P-Microscope-Cellphone-Magnification/dp/B09653SCG6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=19MP6P8252KLO&keywords=jiusion+hd+microscope&qid=1643601924&sprefix=juision+hd+microsocpe%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-3 the little cubes (from China) www.ebay.com/itm/383724574521?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D696c80d8a28c4d07939a8b1381dea56e%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D383724574521%26itm%3D383724574521%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A1b145c6d-824b-11ec-b265-aed1a61559a0%7Cparentrq%3Aae4fa7bd17e0ab8e2cbb1e14fff88c0d%7Ciid%3A1 another cube(from China) www.ebay.com/itm/265286183783?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201018205123%26meid%3Dc778d5094d8a444fa7bb5c271fc51c94%26pid%3D101286%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D265286183783%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DWatchlistVariantWithMLR%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2380057.c101286.m47999&_trkparms=pageci%3A1b145c6d-824b-11ec-b265-aed1a61559a0%7Cparentrq%3Aae4fa7bd17e0ab8e2cbb1e14fff88c0d%7Ciid%3A1 cube from U.S. www.ebay.com/itm/265519927414?hash=item3dd2389076:g:S44AAOSwedth8dm~ these aren't affiliate links I just had one of those bursts of interest. For light soldering work (I bought mines with a metal stand $45ish USD) these little gadgets are ok, they are not great but they aren't useless. The cheaper one even has slightly better zoom according to another youtuber. The cheap metal stand that comes included is a TRAVESTY but in a pinch it will do huh? I did find a guy that hacked his lens (mount?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWWalXuXf89_q8U

[@viocaia]

Nice! Absolutely a hobbiest tool..but for the money is doing the job..also I used for shooting video at a decent quality..in fact if you work PCB you know what you expect so I don't need fancy 4K microscope to see a capacitor...but thanks for such a nice info and help the community!

[@NathanCroucher]

same size shape? can you post title to one you got? i have the 2mp one.

[@viocaia]

@@NathanCroucher No title, or manufacture name, I believe it's generic.

[@BozesanVlad]

My theory is that 1000x means 1000%, so is in fact 10 time magnification

[@DIYwithBatteries]

This thing is really so Cool Sir 😃👍 By the way i made this with a tiny convex lense which I found from DVD player sensor LED

[@viocaia]

very cleaver! I'll do that too..

[@DIYwithBatteries]

@@viocaia yes you have to check that definitely you'll like that Sir 😄👍

[@viocaia]

@@DIYwithBatteries Thanks!

[@NACHOXVALLE]

Which distance between the microscope lens & the dvd lens? Thx in advance.

[@ydiadi_]

have u made any video for that ?

[@llehsaderob]

hmmmm just realized you get the same distance as just using the the metal stand they sell, it's about 20 bucks. I don't know if the magnification is effected.

[@viocaia]

I need more space under the lupe..

[@zk_6312]

You need a 3d printer to print a mount. Where did you get the lens.

[@viocaia]

Good idea!

[@wrlccywrlfh]

is the lens you used concave on one side like you drew or concave both side (biconcave)?, i want to make sure to buy the correct one

[@viocaia]

I can't tell, it's in a solid metal tube so I can't see to much..any concave will do the job..you don't need a very strong one though

[@donerdoner2272]

I also have problem like you, so my question is can we make divergent Lens from clear resin and make it big size maybe diameter as 40cm or bigger 😁

[@viocaia]

Try a CD/DVD player lens ..

[@davideliasfloresescalante3724]

Greetings, By the way, what did You get those divergent lens? Thanks in advance

[@viocaia]

Can-t recall..I think it was an old scanner...but you can try with a DVD or CD player lens..I have been told..

[@fuzzs8970]

Would you mind sharing a way to download the software? Thanks Or do you have this problem of getting the image inverted with this microscope? Thank you very much

[@viocaia]

The right positioning is with focus rotary in the front as you see in my picture.If you tried any camera software , even winodws camera and it's 180 dr, single explanation is the sensor board is in a bad position from the manufacture..and it's really hard to open the microscope...

[@dshe8637]

Can you flip in the software?

@@dshe8637 I don't think so..I don't have it anymore so I can't test..but I don't recall flipping..

what happen if you double the lens ?

[@viocaia]

depends, if you a better magnification add a convergent lens, if you want a better field add a divergent one.

You do not need any extra lens - simply screw in the existing microscope lens all the way in and you will have 1 foot of working distance.

[@viocaia]

Nice, I'll try that..thanks!

[@arifryo6823]

how, do you have to disassemble the lens?

[@viocaia]

@@arifryo6823 I didn't , just put the extra in the front

[@KEcAzZ1]

Remove the plastic cap, move the focusing ring so the inner optics of the camera gets closer for you to reach, and screw in the optics. The moment you will touch the lens, you will understand what I mean. It is straight forward.

[@FreeWhilly734]

​@@KEcAzZ1 Genius thank you so much I was looking for a cheap way to inspect a motherboard it's still pants with manual focus but atleast I've got enough room now to get my iron in front of the camera. Would never have realised you can adjust the lens without reading your comment mucho appreciated 👍.
