Great addition to the OMAX microscope for preserving images. Really appreciate the service after the sale. It was quite helpful.

The fastest camera using a USB 2.0 at 5 MP

The camera comes two versions, only the one with 30 FPS is ok for soil samples. 30 fps. makes the camera able to follow even a fast nematode, without "freezing" and hacking. NO other camera I have seen is able to transmit 30fps at 5 mp on a usb2 port. more expensive cameras using a mp3 port with anything from 8-18 mp have not got 30 fps frame speed. which is ideal for soil microscopy. As the camera dont have a possibility for a reduction lens, we have to use a 10x lens, to get the 450u wide frame, needed for microscopy of themain assesment, this fact. makes that when making the nematode scan, we typically use the 4x lens, which makes it nessersary to go up and down the slide 16 times to complete the scan. it is duable, but 8 times which is common with most cameras using a 0,5 reduction lens is of cause faster. a super good camera, I use it for my farmer costomers.

Mini USB port location sucks

Being 2024, and you put the port on the top. USB mini already suck as it is because the socket always gets damaged easily, very sensitive, not robust. Then, you don't supply a 90-degree cable to avoid damaging USB mini port. Lame! Now I will have to purchase a 90-degree cable,
