[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 411395, member: 5833"]That's the one I have, so wait to see if I can get it sorted. OK, think I may now be sort of an expert on this, at least when using with a PC. Some of what I have learned may apply to use with a phone. It was very late when I finally got the device connected to the CoolingTech program. I had an image on the screen, but still couldn't take a photo, so wrote Jiusion again with new situation. Was too tired to post an update here. After fussing around, downloading software from his site (which is a different collection of files) running the .exe file as administrator & having the wizard say it was installed, then not being able to find it anywhere, repeating the process several times, rebooting. I had trashed the original file, but restored it when couldn't get downloaded file loaded. Have no idea where in all this the change got made that made the device available. The change is that the system is not using Jiusion's drivers; it is using ones it already has, probably because it came with a Camera program. Had I known, I should have connected the device, then allowed the system to find drivers for it. Everything I need to do I can do with the Camera program & PhotoPaint. Jiusion did get back to me [found reply in spam folder] saying I had to run the Amcap program & specify a location for saving photos. Now that the device was available, was able to do this, except there was no image on the screen to capture. Recalled the instructions about allowing access to 'everyone'. Did that & got an image, but couldn't capture. Repeated the steps for designating a save location & bingo. Have not tried using the red button on the scope again because can't do it without causing movement in the whole thing. It might be working now that Amcap works. Even clicking on the icon with the mouse, it is very difficult to get a clear photo. The CoolingTech program appears to have editing features but not be able to take a pic; Amcap takes pix but doesn't edit. I'll use my other programs. Another issue with the microscope is that, like some other microscopes, it produces an upside down image. Camera shows what you see. Since the phone has a camera, maybe it can use the program for that to run the microscope? Is there anywhere to set which device to use? Does your phone recognize the microscope is communicating with it? The corded model has connectors for 3 different types of ports. Do you have a PC & does it have WiFi? Tell me your troubles & I'll see if I can help. But see if you can use a different set of driver files & run the scope from your camera program.[/QUOTE]
