In the legendary series of educational films from the 1970s, designers Charles and Ray Eames zoom out from a man resting in a park in downtown Chicago, transporting us in minutes to intergalactic space. At the point at which we reach the bounds of human knowledge, they stop... and zoom back in. Only this time, their camera doesn't stop... surveying deeper and deeper inside his skin, ultimately to the level of sub-atomic particles. Now, we're not suggesting for a second that this handy desktop 400 x magnification USB microscope will take you anywhere near sub-atomic resolution from the comfort of your own PC, but it will give you a darned good look at your skin, should you wish. Here at gadgetshop HQ we're huge admirers of Universal Serial Bus technology, as the legion of USB-compliant devices in these pages will attest. And this high-tech microscope, which offers resolution up to full 1.6M, is among the most inventive USB tool we have yet seen. With a host of pro-quality features, including variable magnification, widescreen imaging and a range of image capture options, all illuminated by 4 bright onboard LEDs, the sky (or rather, the world right in front of you) is the limit. Enabling awe-inspiring close-ups, and both still image 'snapshot' and full motion video capture, could there be a better way of passing a chill winter's evening than blowing up one's own hair follicle to the size of the Titanic? We thought not.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RMQ6EEKX7UW0U The Veho is GREAT FUN, first and foremost. Using it, I made movies of a spider
and also a woodlouse. This video only uses the 200x magnification. Search for 'Elfheartrising' on youtube to see the videos using both 400x and 200x in combination.
I didn't buy the Veho with the stand - BIG MISTAKE (hard to keep still). Instruction booklet fairly rubbish. You MUST keep turning the silver focus band RIGHT ROUND to go from 200 to 400 magnification. Moving insects tend to get a little hot running around under the microscope lights too... I think I inadvertantly killed the woodlouse - eek!
This sample video is only using the magnification to 200x, in the full videos I made (on youtube) you can see how I used the 400x magnification still shots combined with moving 200x footage.
And don't bother trying to contact the company who makes the Veho, as they don't seem to reply. (I was trying to see if I could buy a stand separatly)! AMMENDED EDIT - since I wrote this, Veho HAS contacted me, a lovely email from their sales manager, who is going to look into trying to get me a stand (when their office reopens on the 4th Jan), I take back what I said about them previously!
Yes... the sales manager at Veho got back to me, and sent me a stand for my microscope! She was VERY helpful, and we swopped some great emails. If you do have any problems with your Veho, I would suggest you try and talk to them. She explained they are only a small company, but she went out of her way to help me.
I look forward to making a new video of some head lice that I have sitting in an envelope waiting to be filmed!

I bought the miscroscope 6 months ago on the understanding that it works with vista 64. IT DOES NOT!
I have waited patiently for a 64 but driver, NONE has materialised.
The support is useless, after a barrage of 20 emails, I got a reply to download the 32 BIT DRIVER !!!
Which I had alrady tried several times but for obvious reasons will not install on a vista 64.
As far as i am concerned VMS support and product is total garbage.
I have now given up and looking to buy an alternative microscope and dumped this piece of garbage into the cupboard to collect dust.
Buyer beware !

getting on in years now i needed something better than my eyes/glasses to check out electrical components etc....i also thought it would be 'fun'.
well, my grandson did not want to put it down so there is a good point if you want to keep pre-school kids amused (as well as yourself)
gives an exceptional view of components and soldering on PCB's so is going to be an invaluable aid to me, add to this the close ups of your skin/eyes/teeth/ears etc and there really is no end to the uses.

Regarding the comments on the claimed 400x magnification, I think PJ has it right when he suggests it is the displayed size. I used the following unscientific method to satisfy myself. I focussed on a standard desk ruler and determined that 13mm filled the capture window horizontally and 10mm vertically (130sq.mm). Then I physically measured the capture window 257x193mm (49601sq. Mm). To clarify, an image measuring 130sq.mm was displayed at 49601sq.mm. 49601 divided by 130 = 381 which is not far off 400! But is this not real magnification?
The installation went like a dream on my windows vista 64 bit OS. I do have one problem... the physical capture button on the microscope dosn't work but I can use the on screen button. Can anyone offer any ideas on this.

I had previously purchased the VMS-001 with a magnification of x200, so when the VMS-004 became available, I had to have that too.
At first, I phoned and complained that the magnification was no better (or even worse) than that of the earlier model. They suggested I tried adjusting the focus at the other end of the scale. That worked! Apparently, it has two focussing points.
I am totally pleased with this product, and highly recommend it for anyone who requires low-cost but serious microscoppy.
