I had a jewelry's glass, but you have to put your face to the plant or object. Tired of doing that. I have a MacBook!IT WORKS GREAT,,, I can see very good, you have to use PhotoBooth to capture picture and see images. had to take a pic or two till the computer seen the image but after that its Super. The Usb cable is long enough to have computer on shelf and reach into my tent and look at the video image. I actually have my MacBook Hooke up to a TV, so the image from the magnifier is seen on a 50" TV,, I can see exactly the color of pistols, and the tops of any Tricome. So much fun to use around the house as well.
