Andonstar AD246S-M 7″ UHD Digital Microscope

I was pleasantly surprised on how good this microscope is. The microscope is very portable, easy to put together and produces a very good image. It is primarily used as a soldering station and for this purpose it absolutely does every thing perfectly.

The standout features are image resolution, versatility, portability, brightness, sturdiness and value.

Highly recommend this microscope.

I was a bit weary when taking it out of the box–it feels cheap. Cheap plastic, metal, etc. I can’t speak for longevity, so hopefully it lasts me a while.

But it works surprisingly well. HDMI output is fantastic, and can work as a web cam. They also have propriety software. I couldn’t get it to work, but I received a support response very quickly that solved the problem. However, if they put the latest drivers on their website I wouldn’t have had to reach out to support. It’s possible I just didn’t see where that download was. Either way, their support was fantastic.

This seems like the “cheap” option, but it’s surprisingly useful. It can record video, take screenshots, and these are exportable via USB or you can pop in a microSD card (also included).

Uses mini hdmi to hdmi for video output, and it also includes an HDMI cable.

I wish it would have included a downwards facing right angle HDMI (it includes two right angle usb cables–one for power/lights, the other for PC connection) but that’s the only piece of kit that I thought was lacking.

The instructions are clear, but there are a few details missing.

As for the microscope operation it’s decent. Doesn’t feel professional grade, but it functions almost as well–and it works for checking out tiny issues on circuit boards. I was able to fix a few things I couldn’t before, so that’s exciting.

It’s cheapness does, unfortunately, come into play for some aspects. It’s coarse adjustment is rough–it’s just two collars, one locks and the other serves as a sort of stop so you can lock it where you want. Its fine adjustment is smooth and works predictably, however–and that’s really the most important one.

There is a digital zoom that is also pretty good.

I don’t like the fact that not all of the functionality on the unit is able to be adjusted for with just the controls on the display itself. Instead, you have to use the remote to access some functions and menus you can’t otherwise.

That means that losing the remote bricks some of the device’s functionality.

the 7 inch screen is clear, and good enough. HDMI and USB output is a plus, though outputting with USB puts a bit black box on the device’s screen, almost forcing you to use the computer monitor. Outputting in HDMI doesn’t have this problem, and I ended up using a capture card to grab clean HDMI output while using the scope’s display without the USB black box obstruction.

Overall, I’d recommend it as an affordable option–and it functions as well as some of the ~$400 dollar scopes I’ve used. I’m honestly impressed with its functionality. It does, however, FEEL cheap. And I don’t know how long some of these parts are for.

I also didn’t use it for any at home biology observing–even though it comes with a light box/glass slide holder (it also comes with spring-tension slide clips for stereoscopic type viewing). I didn’t use the light box or check out the slides, but it’s really cool that they included it.

El microscopio se nos entrega en una caja muy bien protegido contra posibles golpes.

Se entrega semidesmontado, solo has de colocar unas pocas piezas que lo haces mirando una guía rápida que se incluye o si eres menos hábil, puedes descargar unos videos escaneando unos códigos BIDI que se incluyen en el manual.

El microscopio es una verdadera pasada, no sé porque he esperado tanto tiempo ha comprarlo y he seguido usando una lupa con luz para mis trabajos en electrónica. Con este microscopio, es la noche y el día, lo que antes me costaba Dios y ayuda soldar/desoldar ahora en unos segundos está realizado.

Dispones de tres lentes diferentes para tres usos distintos, desde lo que es trabajos de electrónica, pasando por mirar hoja, monedas hasta otra lente para poder observan esas cosas tan pequeñas como son las alas de un insecto o sus dientes. Todo un mundo en miniatura por descubrir.

Su manejo es sencillisimo, con un enfoque muy preciso y las luces que tiene a ambos lados hacen un trabajo inigualable.

Para poder sujetar los PCN dispone de unas pestañas para atrápelas o bien giras todo lo que es el microscopio menos la base y sigues trabajando con el en tu mesa de silicona térmica.

Puedes sacar fotos o grabar video. Tambien disonéis de una salida HDM para que lo puedas conectar a un monitor, con las pulgadas que tu quieras, y te aseguro que se ve de lujo.

Trae una tarjeta microSD para guardar los videos o fotos, os he dejado alguna capturas hechas con él.

Tambien dispone de un zoom digital 3X y apenas mete ruido. Una maravilla, de verdad.

De verdad, tanto si eres aficionado a la microelectrónicas, fotografía macro, entusiasta de los sellos/monedas, o de todo lo que el ojo no ve, no lo dudes, compra este microscopio que no te vas a arrepentir. Yo he tardado mucho tiempo en dar el paso y ahora me arrepiento de no haberlo dado muchísimo antes.

Un microscopio 💯 recomendado.
