Digital microscope

[Karbon74]

Age arriving, head wear optical magnification is uncomfortable and sometimes not enough

Not ready and no space to have an optical microscope...

Now I am seeing digital microscopes with LED screen on Ali looking pretty decent for 70-100

Anyone uses those?

I have a special electron microscope I obtained from NASA. It's part of the QC service I provide.

I use that too, to look at the naked lady on the voyager plate.

I have an Andonstar digital scope with a 10” LCD. I find it more than adequate for my needs.

I’m sure there are many different versions / brands that are similar with subtle differences. But I’m quite happy with my choice.

You need to be careful with the real cheapies- there is not enough room to work between the lens and the platform.

Decent budget scope:

Or let Alex testify for Amscope. 700 bucks...

in the 70-100 range, i wonder about the resolution of the led and the frame rate

Dismantled a 7750 today and totally forgot about the thing

Need to use it when a put the movement together again. Don't expect wonders, but it's adequate for the task if you want to save space and money.

You can also view on your computer screen.

This is indeed important.

I recently received the andonstar 249s-m as a gift. It has a higher working area, a bigger screen, and a second smaller camera that will shoot simultaneously from a wider angle. I think it's about 250usd.

You need some distance to do anything comfortably.

Another Bulova fan?

I'm currently working on a 10BM.

Must be super clear when used to QC Uranus

@Pinion Minion Curious if you use the flexible endoscope much or not? I'm about to pull the trigger on one and would appreciate your thoughts having used it for a couple of years.

No- I actually removed it. I thought it would be helpful but it really just got in the way.

He does. But not on watches

Great to know. Thanks!

No love for true Microscopes!!??

Will never use anything other than my Leica A60. Plenty of working distance, not awkwardly looking at a screen while trying to work, and mag and resolution is amazing.



Although it wasn't $100....
You can get cheaper ones of course. maybe look at those. Way more versatile than a digital with a screen.

Lots and lots of love for those- believe me!

Have been trying to justify the purchase and bench space loss to magnify my fumblings in binocular magnificence for a while now . I've been "focusing" on the Amscope trinocular setup but I'll sure look at Leica now.
