I have both Mac and PC, this elegant piece works on both of them, Win 8 32 bit and Mac OS X 10.8.2. They have a mini software CD but for Windows only. It didn't really bother me since I don't have DVD-ROM in my netbook. So I download the software from the website: On Mac, I use Photo Booth to open it. It is so simple to use!

I like the way of the manual focus control. You could push the black button up and down to find the focus, so only one hand is in need. The image quality is very good! I use it to check my acnes, and found a lot of hidden pimples, which I am unable to see on a mirror. There is a shoot button on the device. If you want to take a photo, you could click the button without move your hands to the mouse. But based on my test, the button only works for Windows, not for Mac. The LED adjust button works on both systems.

I also used it to check my coin collections. The microscope clearly shows the scratch on coins. I guess it has some sort of "auto light balance", since it will adjust the brightness automatically to match the light reflection from the coins.

I am very satisfied with my purchase! Definitely 5 stars! But I do hope the manufacture could provide more colors.

I've ordered hundreds of items on Amazon in recent years; most products have been great, occasionally some not-so-great, and very few have been inferior products. This is the first one that was so bad it compelled me to leave a review.

Call me unreasonable, but when you realize ten minutes after the UPS guy left that the software seems only to install in an Asian language, and then the tripod literally comes brand new out of the case in a half dozen little broken plastic pieces (the threaded tripod mount was in fragments of the cheapest, grittiest, shoddily-made plastic I've ever felt therefore no way to mount the scope), it's safe to assume I don't need to go any further with the camera itself before I package the whole thing back up and get it ready for return.

Not that it matters at this point, but additionally, you need a lighted magnifying glass to read the poorly written instruction manual (I'm young and have 20-15 vision in both eyes), The broken-English disclaimer card in the case that asks you to contact them to work out any problems before leaving negative feedback suggests to me they already know how unreliable and cheap the product they're selling is. I was really hoping this would be a good product, and I understand there are good ones out there, this just isn't one.

This is a Mickey-Mouse, unprofessional pile of cheaply made Asian junk in a box. Shame on this manufacturer.
