Easy to use, and the large screen has excellent image quality
I bought this digital microscope primarily for PCB work. The 7-inch screen is high quality, and much easier to work with than the versions with the smaller screens. Construction is solid, and raising/lowering is easy, and there is also a knob to lock it the height into place. It provides clear magnification when working with small PCB components. The lighting options are especially useful - the scope has a built-in light, plus there are two adjustable/flexible LED lights that you can adjust to an optimal position and adjust the brightness. This is especially useful for uneven surfaces that cast shadows, where having the multiple lights fixes that problem.

Also included is a wired remote for taking photos and recordings. This is very useful to take photos without touching the scope, since at 1000x magnification the slightest touch will cause noticeable vibration. The camera resolution settings can be modified in the settings for your preferred image size and quality.

The day after receiving the microscope, my clothes washer stopped working. After testing various parts, I removed a control board, and saw what looked like some damage but couldn't be certain with just my eyes. I put it under the scope, and *wow* - I was able to confirm the damage to the PCB, as well as find an additional burnt out component that I did not realize may also be bad. (I attached a photo and video I took from the Microscope of parts of the damaged control board). This saved me a lot of time determining which part to order to fix the washer. (And when I have time, I plan to use the scope to repair the old board.)

Next week my kids and I will be doing some "backyard science", they want to view various rocks & minerals, plants, and other items, and are really looking forward to it!

Note: The instructions and specs refer to "TF Card" - standard MicroSD cards are the same size and work just fine.
