The scope may also be mounted in a variety of ways to achieve the appropriate distance needed to view the item in it's entirety. I use a camera tripod when needed. **Q: I have a question about the picture, if you use lights say on a coin, do you lose color?** A: You shouldn't. There might be a slight shift, but I believe you can correct for it. We have used a few coins and they looked amazing! The light isn't harsh and is diffused well enough that it is even. **Q: does it work with Linux?** A: no ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product! -- EXTREMELY SATISFIED *by B***B on January 18, 2016* This is fantastic!

I use these 'scopes in handheld mode to inspect knife edges during sharpening. I was hoping for better depth of field, higher range of magnification and better software than with my Celestron 5MP or my Chinese $20 unit. No such luck. DOF may be slightly better, but software is the worst of the lot. No full screen, no measuring tools. Other scopes can focus on the face plane (I use this surface to handhold on the edges) at two different mags. This one won't. ## Frequently Bought Together - Carson MM-940 zPix 300 Zoom 86x-457x Power USB Digital Microscope with Integrated Camera and Video Capture,Black - Carson MicroFlip 100x-250x, LED UV Pocket Microscope with Smartphone Clip, STEM Education (MP-250) - Carson MicroBrite Portable Handheld Digital Pocket Microscope for Kids or Adults, 60x-120x, Mini Microscope with Phone Clip & Smartphone App (MM-350) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/21174264-carson-zpix-300-zoom-90x-480x-power-usb-digital-microscope](https://www.desertcart.is/products/21174264-carson-zpix-300-zoom-90x-480x-power-usb-digital-microscope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
