Review: Wonderful for use with microscopes AND telescopes! - I bought this camera for my microscope and have used it dozens of times. The software is free and easy to download (I have a Mac and it worked just fine). I spent quite a bit of time talking with AmScope's customer service before I bought it. The person I spoke to was very candid about the products they sell and told me that for the price I was willing to pay, this was the best camera. His words were, "It's affordable and decent." He was right. It is clear, adjusts to light sources automatically, and is more than enough for my needs as an elementary botany teacher. As a bonus, it also fits in the eyepiece of my telescope (it comes with two adapters to fit larger eyepieces)! You can use it to capture still images and short movies. It's the perfect starter camera for scientists, teachers, or anyone inclined to be nerdy!
Review: Worked on microscope 🔬 - This was a gift for my mother in law who has to work using microscope all day and she loved it. She can now hook this camera to her laptop and get a perfect image every time! The build quality is very good and it's very easy to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful for use with microscopes AND telescopes!
*by R***H on January 5, 2017*

I bought this camera for my microscope and have used it dozens of times. The software is free and easy to download (I have a Mac and it worked just fine). I spent quite a bit of time talking with AmScope's customer service before I bought it. The person I spoke to was very candid about the products they sell and told me that for the price I was willing to pay, this was the best camera. His words were, "It's affordable and decent."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked on microscope 🔬
*by J***� on November 22, 2024*

This was a gift for my mother in law who has to work using microscope all day and she loved it. She can now hook this camera to her laptop and get a perfect image every time! The build quality is very good and it's very easy to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Does The Job
*by T***Y on October 23, 2025*

This is easy to set up and use. The picture quality is mediocre at best. It you're wanting beautiful photos, this probably isn't your best bet. If you're just wanting something to view things casually without needing to use the eyepieces, it works well for that. Plus, the price is right. It fits my Amscope with no need for adaptors.
