FS- Digital Blue qx5 USB Microscope

I used this twice I now have no need for it. I think it takes very good closeups, especially since it is so cheap. The microscope is basically brand new. There are no scratches, dents or anything on it.

It comes with the software and the USB cable. Also, it comes with the scientific tools so if you get bored taking pictures of coins, you can look at bugs

I had a hard time finding a place that sold these and they are pretty hard to find.

I am asking $90 shipped.

You can see some pictures that I took with it below as well as the microscope itself.

Is it compatible with MAC?

I have one of these and believe it is compatible with XP and prior versions of Windows only...someone correct me if there are newer Vista drivers or it works with a Mac

what he said. That's NOT a Qx5. >>

Actually it is, this is the upgraded version. It is the smithsonian Digital Blue qx5. The same thing, just updated. Just becuase the aesthetics of this model are different than your old model does not mean that it is lower quality. In fact it is better than the old qx5.

I stand corrected. But from the description:

"If you are looking for the QX5 Digital Microscope the Smithsonian Microscope essentially the same microscope. It just has a different color and the Smithsonian name on it. The Smithsonian Microscope is identical to the QX5 Microscope in regards to functions and software. Its made by the same company and factory - Digital Blue. "

Anyway, I was wrong, sorry for the hijacking.

I use mine on a MAC, But I THINK you will need to download a $15 software to make it work.
