    Which microscope do you prefer, and why?

    I've been using a digital microscope and would like to purchase a nice stereo scope. Which model(s) do you prefer? Would like to be under $700 USD.

      My Andonstar ADSM201 Microscope Review
      by chegueva
      Hi everyone. i'v started learning electronics before the corona hit so that's not very long time ago. but anyways i started with only a multi-meter then i started getting into micro-soldering and soldering in general, got myself hot air station a bench Power-supply and last but not least a microscope.
      About the microscope at first i just wanted to get those 15 usd USB digital microscopes to try but some people talked me outta of it and i decided to go for something better but not professional as i'm just starting out.
      So i had a choice between a binocular & camera , i wanted...

      Need advice testing a samsung power supply board with scope
      by repair-it
      I am attempting to test a samsung power supply board to verify the pfc ic is working. I am powering up the board with my isolation transformer. The board turns on fine but when I attempt to connect the ground for the scope probe, it trips out the isolator. I was taught not to 'float my scope' so I am wondering if I should test without connecting the ground lead or would that be asking for trouble? Not sure how else to test, I don't have a portable scope. I could plug direct to mains power but that would bypass the safety factor.

      INSKAM Microscope USB port issue
      by lcdcaps1
      Hi
      All
      Does anyone have a INSKAM 7 inch LCD digital microscope
      I have a weird issue on the one I have where the USB port does not output enough power because when I connect a USB light or the ring light the light output is always really dim
      The ring light when connected to the microscope USB port is at the lowest brightness and turning the brightness knob makes no difference
      I have tried different cables and different USB power adapters

      I have confirmed there is nothing wrong with the ring light and the other USB light by plugging them into another...

      Weak Vision due to Eye Strain when using Microscope
      by caspian
      Dear Forum Members,

      Microscope is required for micro-soldering and for measuring tiny components on a mainboard. I have to use microscope because my eyes are not that strong to see tiny IC pins.
      My microscope has light to improve vision. I have attached a photo of my microscope.

      Looking through a microscope gives us eye strain. After using microscope for 5 to 10 minues, my eyes get a bit weak in recognizing close objects. that means close objects look a bit blur. Then, I have to wait for 5 to 10 hours til my eyes get back to normal.

      1. Do you experience...

      Add Stereo Input To Hi-Fi (Sony SONY PMC 107L)
      by Tarot Superstars
      Hi.
      I bought a Cheap HIFI to use as my PC output and speakers and forgot to check if it had an input. It doesn't.

      Is there any way to add a stereo input. I have a bunch of Phono sockets I am not using.
      Where in the circuit is the best place to solder the 3 stereo input wires?

      This is the model and schematics:
