Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
This handy USB desktop microscope - 200x 1.3 Mega Pixels magnification - has a multiude of home and office uses: science education, laboratory research, computer parts examination, printing inspection, presentation tool, medical analysis, reading aid, collectables magnification to name a few. Online chat can also be achieved with the microscope's built in webcam and record features.

Product Description
In the legendary series of educational films from the 1970s, designers Charles and Ray Eames zoom out from a man resting in a park in downtown Chicago, transporting us in minutes to intergalactic space. At the point at which we reach the bounds of human knowledge, they stop... and zoom back in. Only this time, their camera doesn't stop... surveying deeper and deeper inside his skin, ultimately to the level of sub-atomic particles. Now, we're not suggesting for a second that this handy desktop 200 x magnification USB microscope will take you anywhere near sub-atomic resolution from the comfort of your own PC, but it will give you a darned good look at your skin, should you wish. Here at gadgetshop HQ we're huge admirers of Universal Serial Bus technology, as the legion of USB-compliant devices in these pages will attest. And this high-tech microscope, which offers full 1.3Mp resolution, is among the most inventive USB tool we have yet seen. With a host of pro-quality features, including variable magnification, widescreen imaging and a range of image capture options, all illuminated by 4 bright onboard LEDs, the sky (or rather, the world right in front of you) is the limit. Enabling awe-inspiring close-ups, and both still image 'snapshot' and full motion video capture, could there be a better way of passing a chill winter's evening than blowing up one's own hair follicle to the size of the Titanic? We thought not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect., 13 Aug 2008
Brilliant little gadget. I bought this microscope to take a nosey at some of my computer components. Did the job really well, can capture still images aswell as videos that record straight to the computer.
I was using Vista 64 Bit and had no problems at all, I loaded the driver from the CD and it worked straight away.
All in all a really good product. And a touch under £60...

5.0 out of 5 stars If Carlsberg made gadgets!, 14 Oct 2008
By Team ICDT (Solihull, England.) - See all my reviews
I am really impressed with the Veho VMS-001. It is very easy and quick to set-up and is just as easy to use. The stand which is included is anodised metal so looks good as wellas being very sturdy. It holds the microscope firmly once locked making for a clear and steady picture and it employs two ball joints making it very flexible. The microscope itself appears well made and the clarity of the subject is excellent. Focusing is easy though when zoomed in fully you get a bit of handshake when its not in the stand but thats not the microscopes fault. The software is easy to use and there are a good amount of settings you can play with to suit your needs. Overall for under £50 you can have weeks of entertainment before you even consider letting the kids having a go. This could be my greatest ever gadget purchase and if you like gadgets, get it on your Christmas list......see what's really in that Turkey!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, and unique, 24 Dec 2008
By Andy Piper "social bridgebuilder | photograph... (Farnborough, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I just got one of these as a gift. It's a lot of fun. I had to get the Mac software from the Veho website - definitely would NOT try to put the mini-CD supplied into my slot-loading CD drive - but once it was installed (just a couple of files to copy) the microscope "just worked" on OS X 10.5. Basically you can capture short Quicktime videos or JPEGs from the camera... it needs a fair bit of light though. Surprisingly small and feels a little delicate but it seems solid. You adjust the focus with the silver thumbwheel on the top, which works well.

One point to note is that it saves files to the root directory of your hard disk, which I've emailed them about, that should really be configurable or default to your home directory.

Not sure how often I will find a practical purpose for this but I produce video and photo content for the web so it's a handy little device, and great fun to play around with. I'm off to find something to take pictures of :-)
