## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love it!
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2011*

Works with a Mac. Quick, easy, decent flexibility.Great value for the price. Lighting under a microscope is always a giant challenge. This works for slides and also hand held use. Considering the many limitations of microscopes no matter what the price, like depth of field, light access, focus and versatility, this is a great bargain. Sure you may need some auxiliary lighting in some situations, but the built-in led's go a long way for anything relatively flat.The display window is unnecessarily small, but not unreasonable for the camera resolution, which seems to be the largest limitation, though not that different from any competition I have seen. If you want much more be prepared to spend accordingly.Welcome to the world of microscopy without breaking the bank, easy pictures, and no visual fatigue.

    Extremely good value with quality optics for under $100
  

*by K***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2009*

After reading the other reviews I quickly determined there are too many defective units or these reviewers simply haven't followed instructions...It seems the latter holds more merit...The included software seems quite adequate in automatically controlling exposure, led intensity, white balance and other settings...Plus there are plenty of manual controls to change brightness, hue, sharpness, exposure, white balance, etc...I consider the optics to be quite good considering the amount of magnification and having to transfer this image to a large computer screen...I printed up a few 8x10's and they were quite crisp...Of course I had done a little further color editing and sharpening of the original image...The still image natively saves at 1280x1024 .bmp or .jpg...I prefer the .bmp as the .jpg compression has been set very high and is not adjustable that I can find...Essentially the 1280x1024 .bmp files are 3-4mb while the same .jpg file is only 150-200kb...Too small for me...These images can be saved at even higher resolutions than the sensor provides but this is strictly digital interpolation so why bother at this level...Better software programs can manipulate the image much better after saving the original .bmp...While the camera has a manual button on the top for taking the still images you can also do it with a mouse click to prevent any unecessary camera movement...I much prefer the mouse when possible in a fixed setting...The software accepts more than one input and initially I had to change mine because the screen was blank...I suspect this is what happened to one of the reviewers who complained their's was defective...I also believe the quality and speed of the video card plays a big roll in performance here as well...In my 5 year old laptop the image adjustments could take a second or more but with my new quad core, 3 gig Ram, 512mb video card the changes were instant..I also believe the proper monitor resolution settings and color calibration profiling plays a major role in getting the maximum quality of this cameras images...I doubt the negative reviewers were using optimum settings...I haven't done any lengthly videos but the short clips I did were just fine...Saved in the basic .avi file...Again I believe the speed of the computer and video card are paramount in achieving optimum performance...Overall, I cannot recommend this unit highly enough for the price and the quality of images it produces...Of course I don't have any other digital microscopes to compare with but I've used dozens of digital cameras and DSLR's so I know a quality digital image when I see it...I also take into account this camera costs under $100...I think the reviewers who downgraded it simply hadn't read all the software instructions on what the camera can actually do and what it takes to get that done...I also find it ironic the cheaper sister unit MM-640 with a much smaller sensor is rated higher here at Amazon...To me this only confirms the reviews here on the MM-740 are mostly a result of improper instruction and not of inferior quality...Buy it and most importantly take the time to properly use and I think anyone would be quite pleased with the results...

    Disappointing
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2009*

The MM-740 ZPix has very poor optical performance: It fails to produce a focused, high-resolution image at any zoom level.  Also, Carson's inclusion of a 1.3 megapixel image sensor and full-motion video capture come across as cynical at best: The lens can't resolve past the VGA capabilities of the previous MM-640, making the SXGA resolution of the imager pointless.  The image update rate across the USB interface is very slow, in the range of 1 frame/sec, complicating even the simple tasks of centering and focusing on an object - taking video would likely be a farce.  The mechanical design of the ZPix is very good - the 'pushbutton' release for the slide clamps is very clever and well-designed, and the LED lighting is more than sufficient.  I wanted to like this product, but it is a definite disappointment.
