Review of Raspberry Pi Microscope - Using official HQ camera with Hayear microscope SMD soldering
Microscope stand with 0.12-1.8x lens
This is a professional quality microscope and stand from HiYear. It uses the official hi-resolution HQ (high quality) Raspberry Pi camera which mounts on top of the microscope lens.
In this video I show an unboxing, assembly and then my first steps in trying out the microscope. If you wish to skip the unboxing then you can do so, look for the timings in the contents below.
The main thing about this review was discovering just how much light is needed to use it correctly. Once I got the lighting correct then I was able to get some great views on the camera. I do suggest you look at some of the later photos from 17:21 onwards and at the very end of the video where you can see some really good images when I added more light.
I've looked at this from the point-of-view of a maker or electronics hobbyist looking at how you can use it to inspect solder joints, assist with SMD soldering or reading component part numbers.
For more details see: http://www.penguintutor.com/news/raspberrypi/rpi-microscope or you can buy the microscope from https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/microscope-stand-with-0-12-1-8x-lens
Great fun and could be really useful for reading the codes on integrated circuits, soldering and other hobby tasks.

Can this be use for blood samples.

Thanks for this nice tutorial 😁👍 are there also solutions for high-frequency protection? Every time i strike an arc, the image freezes or the screen goes black ☹

Hi! May I know how heavy is this microscopic lens?

Just wondering what is the model of the Hayear microscope lens that you were using in this video? Thanks a lot for replying. Really informative video.

Interesting idea, unfortunately I can't see anything on your laptop.

What do you think the max zoom is on this camera as a microscope? I was thinking of using it in a project to view different microorganisms. I read on toms hardware that it could "achieve" up to 900x zoom if it had good lighting. Have you tried pushing it to it's limits?

Was really debating building myself one. Seen lots of different variations. Main thing drawing me to this is mechanical element is done. HQ cam seems a bit overkill but very very good quality, was trying to do it on the cheap!
Did you get any further to Fitting the Pi in the base? Also any chance you could upload the scope images to your website? Would be very much appreciated!
How did you connect your notebook to the Raspi?
When I connect to the Raspi via VNC, I cannot see the live output of RaspiStill.
