Re: Digital-Microscope - helmetapointe - 09-08-2011 Hallo Marlo, Not so long ago, i bought one of this D.-M. I decided for a middle-class-price ( 80 € ). I've taken till now around 30 pics and I am not very enthusiastic, maybe needs more experience. The "A-Roller" (to adjust the focus ) is not smooth, so everytime you touch it, the whole piece moves, because of its light weight. It takes time to have a sharp image. You can not compare with a prof. camera. ( lol ..not the same price ). Tell me if u want more info. Send this pics in hurry. click on pic. Re: Digital-Microscope - Marlo9 - 09-13-2011 I tried a digital microscope ($1,600) a few years back with no luck - poor color quality and resolution.  Being able to see the image on a computer screen was great, but even with technical support from manufaturer could never achieve publishable picture quality. I was hoping you'd had more success.
