Monoprice Microscope on Massdrop

[Mjcollier]

I don’t know anything about this scope but at $33 it’s probably worth it.

I guess I was hoping for a little incite. Has anyone used this scope or know anything about it?

I wish I had some info but this scope is new to me.

The link you mention refers to a login page, so I don’t know which microscope exactly you mean. However, in general my experience with this type of microscope is: you get what you pay for.

First let me apologize for replying to your post with an I don’t know. I don’t like when others do that to me but I might provide some insight. For what it’s worth I have ordered several items from Monoprice over the past few years and it’s always been a positive experience. Although I have no personal experience with the USB microscope you referenced I have been using this one from Amazon for a couple of years now that is very similar and about the same price point:

I have bought three different microscopes and this is the least expensive, simplest and it’s still my go-to scope that I use mostly all the time. I keep it plugged in to the USB of a little laptop that I run with the A/C adapter always connected. It’s always on and laying next to my WE. I constantly grab it and hand-hold it flat against the bevel to monitor my progress. With out needing to constantly adjust it I can verify I’m apexing the bevel and see my scratch pattern.
