In Review - Jiusion Digital Microscope for Android Smartphones
Also usable on Windows and Mac

For the offspring, a microscope should come from, he wants to get to know the microcosm around him. For starters, it should not be too expensive, who knows how long the interest will last. So the choice fell quite fast on the digital microscope from Jiusion, which was on average rated quite well on Amazon and with a price of less than 20 euros in the "buy-us-easy-times" range.
The order was done in a few moments, as always at Amazon, and the delivery was also promised for the next day. As is often the case, I searched the reviews more carefully while waiting. A few small problems should then have the microscope but most likely owed its price. From low resolution, poor mount and functionless buttons is there talk. But I wanted to be surprised.

Infected and received perfect results?

Lens scratched?
There is not much to see.
Here I have to say the same. I thought it would be possible to use a stepless magnification setting. On the packaging is also: 40x - 1000x and also in the Amazon product description is the following read: "Magnification rate: 40x-1000x". This statement is probably a bit misleading. There are as I said 2 points at which the image is sharp. The microscope does not have a zoom function, as the zoom button on the device suggests. Incidentally, this button has no function for me. It is also questionable, the indication of the magnification. 40 times expected, but 1000 times? I can not quite believe that. But here we would be back at the price. Not even 20 euros, because you can already make a few drawbacks.

Alternative app
Advertising and watermarks
The next evenings were explored quite extensively the microcosm of the own apartment and some souvenirs from the last excursion. Here is an example with a watermark of the in-house app. Finally, it should be noted that the resolution is not as specified 2 megapixels. 2 megapixels should be 1600 x 1200 pixels, but the pictures are only 640 x 480 pixels.
With the app OTG View, the images are indeed 2048 x 1536th These are obviously extrapolated. Again, the price argument. Only the information should actually vote anyway.
Anyway, my son has so much fun with the microscope and he keeps talking about what else he could investigate. So we decided, despite all the weaknesses, to keep the Android microscope.
