Amscope
in Microbiology and Immunology
Posted
I bought one and I'm sorry. The scope itself is OK. The camera, their 5 megapixel top-of-the-line, is garbage. I spent a number of calls to their tech line and experimenting, researching..... what I was doing wrong. By the time I got their tech lady to admit that the camera just doesn't not give a good image, it was over the 7 day return period and they agreed to take it back by charging me only 35% of selling price. Here's shots taken 1) with the Amscope and 2) with a cheap point and shoot held above the eyepiece (very low tech). Apparently, the Amscope is just a video camera and can not take still shots that don't look like a cartoon. Of course, they bill it as a "high resolution, high quality" camera.
