My interest has been to look at sand-sized crystals. I have some mobility issues with my fingers, and quickly discovered that this scope isn't very forgiving. Parts that are wearing out quickly- the plastic screw which connects the base and pole the plastic screw which holds the scope clamp to the pole the magnification adjustment knob (also plastic- it can get stuck in one position and then require a lot of force to get to turn) In addition, on mine the illumination does not respond smoothly to the illumination knob. It goes from nothing to very bright. The switch on the illumination knob doesn't do anything (I think it's supposed to take a picture). Lastly, the scope illuminator is always on if it is plugged into the USB. The software is worthless. Auto contrast is always running, so your images will only look a certain way. I run Mac OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan), so edit them using Preview, Photos, Acrobat, etc. But I am having fun with it, so I guess I'm happy. Not blown away.
