Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems can the device be compatible with?

Can this be attached to a camera?
Sorry, it can't.
Is the device waterproof and can it be used in water?
Sorry, our microscope has no waterproof function. You should avoid water entering the microscope, otherwise it may cause damage to the device.
What’s the function of the “+” “-” button on the device?
They just simply amplify picture, which will reduce the picture after amplification, non vector amplification.
When I use it on my computer, where are the photos I took saved?
When you use it on the computer, after you take a picture, you need to copy first, and paste the picture to the place you want to save.
Does it record sounds?
No, it doesn't record sound.
Why can’t I use my mobile phone to search the Wi-Fi signal of the microscope when I connect the microscope to the computer with a data cable?
When you connect the microscope to the computer with data cable, the microscope will default that you want to use the computer to observe the image, so the phone can’t search for microscope Wi-Fi signal.
Can more than two devices connect to it at the same time?
Sorry, you can only view pictures in real-time on one device at a time.
I just got it and connected it to my computer, it looks like the “+” “-” buttons don't work?
The “+ -” button on the product can only be used on a smartphone. On a computer, we can only use fixed focal length.
Why do I use another data cable to connect the microscope to the computer, open the software and operate according to the instructions, but I can’t see the picture?
When connecting the microscope to the computer with the data cable, make sure that the data cable you can use has a data transmission function, not just a charging function. Because some data cables only have a charging function and are without a data transmission function.
