   The good:

   * Good build quality
   
   * Variable magnification, not just the three levels listed.
   
   * Easy to use software is included.
   
   * Built in light, with auto-iris
   
   * Included stand

   The Not So Good:

   * Short focal length – 150X requires object to touch the shroud.
   
   * Light never shuts off.
   
   * Focus wheel is very stiff.
   
   * Stand clamps to scope right at the focus wheel – makes it hard to adjust.

   On a Windows 7 64-bit machine, I plugged the scope in and was recognized immediately by a built-in driver. I installed the microscope software without an issue and it works fine.

   Celeston does seem to offer support as well including driver and software:

   [...]

   This is the best $50 toy computer microscope you will ever find. The plus side, is that it is a good tool as well. The included stand is awkward, so replacing it with a better stand would make this a very good tool. The scope has a button on top that takes a picture with the included software, but that is almost useless since it will mess up your position or focus, so just click the snapshot button on the software screen instead.

   I purchsed the Clestron 44302, for my son as a present, however, the device did not work properly (the illumincation) and there fore is fairly useless. We have had nothing but trouble in dealing with the company as to fixing or replacing the device. This device poor quality and lack of service reflects badly on both the manufacturing as well its distrbution / sells process (Amazon).
