Yours looks almost exactly like mine, but mine came with no mount at all. I'm just scrolling the magnification, finding the right place for a good photo, and clicking the button on my laptop to take the shot. Sometimes with my toe if I'm holding the microscope with one hand and the object in the other. XD
I was just wondering if it does actually get the magnification it claims it does, because I am watching Journey To The Microcosmos on YouTube and they are getting tardigrades at like 600X. I'm not even seeing chloroplasts (those pore looking parts on the plant leaf is as close as I've gotten so far). Though perhaps it's the setup - being a point-and-shoot instead of a light-from-underneath like on a compound microscope (the kind on a base that you put a slide under)? I don't know. But I'm having fun regardless.
I did just discover I can shoot video with it AND record my voice via the laptop at the same time, so if ever I do get some visible bacteria or something, I can video them and commentate. :D
Edit: hmmm, maybe I'm not seeing some things because I'm trying to look at whole leaves instead of a tiny sliver on a slide. Must look into making slides...

Good Luck, let me know how that turns out. I'm about to begin moving
Yet again, so I hope once this move is accomplished, I will have
A better environment and time to pursue things like this.
