It has two helical adjustments, one for the continuous zoom of 26x-130x, and one for the focus. Although it appears to be all plastic construction (I’m not sure if the lens is glass or plastic), fit and finish is excellent. The last two are admittedly very cheaply made, but they are functional and the entire package in my opinion represents a good start. You get everything you need to get started: microscope, stage, one prepared slide, three blank slides, small plastic eyedropper, and plastic tweezers. The top lid hinged upward to display all of the contents.
The package is an attractive layout, suitable for use as a gift box. My ePix MM-640 microscope arrived in very good condition. But what about the picture quality? Would the Carson give a decent image for the money? Or would this be just a $79 toy? I decided I had to find out. But none of these options give you the convenience in such a small package as the Carson ePix. You can also take afocal pictures with just about any digital camera through the ocular. Now, you can buy a digital camera eyepiece that will fit into most monocular microscopes. The Carson seemed to me to be the more versatile unit having a continuous zoom from 26x to 130x. In my opinion, 400x in an inexpensive microscope is not nearly as useful as the powers in the 75-150x range. But whereas the Carson has a zoom magnification range, the other brand had only two settings for magnification. Browsing the web, I could only find one other brand that has something similar. An all-in-one microscope/digital camera that plugs directly into the USB port of your computer- now how cool is that? This is apparently not a popular concept. I have more than plenty in each category! Searching the web for different types of microscopes I stumbled upon the Carson ePix MM-640 digital microscope.
I like to play with four things that have glass in them: telescopes, binoculars, cameras, and microscopes. CARSON ePIX MM640 DIGITAL ZOOM MICROSCOPE
