What devices does this microscope work with?

The USB2-MICRO-250X is designed to work with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and Android using compatible camera software. It can also work with USB-C iPads running iPadOS 17 or later when used with a compatible camera app.

Can I use this microscope with an iPad or iPhone?

It works with USB-C iPads running iPadOS 17 or later using a compatible app like CamX or USB Camera. iPhones are not supported, as they do not allow third-party USB camera devices.

Does it have automatic zoom?

No. This microscope does not have a push-button or automatic zoom. Magnification is adjusted by moving the microscope closer to the subject and using the focus wheel.

Do I need to install software or drivers?

The microscope is plug-and-play and works with built-in apps like Photo Booth and QuickTime on macOS, and the Camera app on Windows, or any UVC-compatible software. Android devices and USB-C iPads require third-party apps.

Why do the LEDs stay off when I first plug it in?

The LED ring does not turn on automatically when plugged in. The microscope needs to be active inside a camera or viewer app first, and the LED brightness wheel may need to be turned up for indoor use.
