I had spotted this in a thread on here a long time ago...someone had said they picked it up at ToyRUs...in a reduced sale bin.. I paid $91 online and some change including delivery...there are used ones out there as well...Wouldnt ya know I would find them after I ordered mine...Oh well...dont be in a rush, I say..:)

NorCalDaddys Girl buds..40 days in flower..

First pic is 60x...second 200x...I hope to fine tune the pics in time..still playing around with it...Its a USB unit as well..bad part is its made in China..:( but its hard to not find things NOT made there...

Peace,

wow that is really slick. Does it do any higher magnification. I"m looking for something on the 400x level or above to see things on a cellular level.

I take it that this scope is able to take pictures and transfer them to your computer via USB?

Yeah I bought one too about a month ago on fleabay for $40.;)
10X,60X and 200X. Its not high quality but it works pretty nice for looking at trichs.
An auxiliary light seems to help a little for contrast.
Pix at 60X and 200X

Killer,
Looks like you have had time to get it fine tuned in the pic taking aspect...Nice..One more gadget to screw around with in the world of weed growing!!:D

I happy with it, a step up from the mini microscope from Rado Sk...

jchap,
Just do a search on line for Digital Blue..You should be able to find it..

When using the 30x scope, just take a small bud, and hold it between your thumb and forefinger...slide the scope back and forth on your thumb nail..to focus..works for me..try it...


Peace,
Treetops :hippy:

Treetops, just for the hell of it, I checked eBay for them, too ... they're $89.95, but I see for $10 more, they offer the 'Smithsonian' model, says its the upgraded version of yours ... here's a link Smithsonian Digital Microscope - Digital Blue QX5 Sale - eBay (item 260219438526 end time Apr-10-08 00:50:36 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Smithsonian-Digital-Microscope-Digital-Blue-QX5-Sale_W0QQitemZ260219438526QQihZ016QQcategoryZ2568Q QrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQ cmdZViewItem) :thumbsup:

Reaper,
I checked this site out..its where I bought it from..Digital Microscope, QX5 Microscope, USB Microscope, Digital Blue QX5 Microscope (http://www.compuvisor.com/qx5diblmicom.html)...then compared the Smithsonian model...I really cant see that much difference except for the Smithsonian sticker..and some extra software..sounds kinda like a gimmick to me..

Thanks,
Peace,
