Bought this for my classroom use with some special education kids. They loved it and it worked well. The software that comes with it leave A LOT to be desire. Very limited in scope and functionality. It was also somewhat annoying that there is an increasing lag in the computer image as you increase the resolution (zooming in more on the image.) You move the scope, or change the focus, and there is a serious lag in what you see on the screen at these higher resolutions. It makes focusing very difficult at high resolutions. Not a problem at the lower settings.
The snapshot feature is nice.

Product looks very stylish; installation is a breeze (I have Windows XP); operation is very intuitive and smooth. All good, except magnification seems to be stuck at 20X.
I tried all moveable parts on this camera; and adjusted the magnification scale in "preference"; but the magnification never changed. Since high magnifying power is the main feature I'm after, this product gets a one-star from me. I hope I made a mistake; if so, somebody please tell me how to increase the magnification.
The box and User Instruction gives no contact number -- not even the company selling or manufacturing this product which is pretty weird. I only found company name in the Amazon shipping label. I'm gonna call them on Monday but somehow I have a feeling I'd get nowhere.

I could not get the unit to work on my computer with Windows 7. There are toggles within Windows 7 to revert back to previous versions (Vista, XP etc.) to make older products work. Even with the computer operating a version the GSI required; it would not work.
There was no support or anyone to call. Even the package has some broken English a.k.a. mis-spelled words.

USB Microscope
I was worried after reading some of the reviews on this, but for $26.00, thought I'd give it a try. A friend had one he paid twice as much for, but this one is better. Read more

Excellent, it is reasonably priced, and is a fine product.
For anyone who needs a microscope that hooks up to a computer,this is just what they need. It's what I can really use in my line of work.

Poorly designed, low contrast images, no quality control
This microscope has a fundamental design flaw: its body is made of thin white plastic. This floods the camera with diffuse white lighting, making the contrast poor and the images... Read more
