This Andonstar AD210 is a surprisingly good budget digital microscope for electronics work. The 10.1-inch IPS display is bright and clear, offering up to 260x magnification, which is great for viewing PCB components.
The camera and screen move together for precise adjustments, and the sturdy metal base with dimmable gooseneck lamps provides effective lighting. It runs on a USB wall charger and comes with a 32GB micro SD card for storing images. The remote control makes adjustments easy, and the rear illumination light is a handy feature.
While it's not built for high-precision microscopy, it's perfect for electronics tasks. The adjustable working distance and clear magnification are practical for soldering and inspecting components.
Overall, the Andonstar AD210 is well-built and easy to set up. In the Andonstar range Elektor offers, it is in the lower range, but it is quite complete, and you wouldn't know its price from its performance. I'm happy with the purchase. It's a great addition to the workbench.
