Re: [Killietalk] USB Microscope

Christine,
     The Digiscope is actually two scopes.  One with the regular eye
piece.  You pull out the eye piece and insert the camera mount for
work with the computer monitor.  I expect I will use the monitor more
often than the eye piece, but to be able to tote the "regular scope"
on a field expedition is a nice feature.
     The 10 thru 50 power of the Digiscope 150 will handle most of my
needs.  It is very difficult to even find your subject as you get to
powers of 50 or more.  The 50 times on a daphnia does not even
include the whole animal in your field of vision.  I am happy with
the $139.
