Sorry for reviving an old thread but you may try this Plugable USB 2.0 USB Microscope Plugable and get the plug-able viewer. Download the latest Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera. The Dino-Lite software is continuously developed, is free of charge for Dino-Lite users and has an automatic update feature.


I disconnected the USB plug and uninstalled the MicroCapture app from Control Panel. I then went checked the English manual and found out that I may have installed things out of order. Restarting the MicroCapture app again produced a 'no device detected' error message.

When I connected the microscope, The PC helpfully told me that device driver was successfully installed, and the LEDs turned on. Running the 'setup.exe' file on my Windows 7 PC loaded a viewing window that was blank except for a message 'no Device detected, please connect your Magnifier directly to your PC USB port', even though the microscope was connected directly to a USB port. The product page 'download' tab had a slightly more helpful folder of manuals and some Windows applications. The mini-CD that came in the box had two documents, both written in Chinese, along with some mystery application called 'amcap' that sat on the desktop and did precisely nothing. I recently bought the aluminum USB microscope and it has been nothing but a lemon, and the documentation available for it has been rather lacking.
