In Linux version 4.19.0-5-amd64 (Debian 4.19.37-5), the QX3 and QX5 are both recognized and functional after installing v4l-utils and vlc. STMicroelectronics Imaging Division (VLSI Vision) While the QX3 maxpower is reported as 500mA, the QX5 (revision 2) maxpower is reported as 100mA. QX5 revision 2 identifies itself as 093a:050f. There were at least two versions of the QX5 produced. The QX5 replaces the QX3's incandescent bulbs with LEDs. Both devices have an upper portion that is removable from the base while in operation. The QX5 is an improved version of the QX3 USB microscope.
