Microscope Ideas

[Jason edwards]

Im in the market for a digital microscope. I want something I can take pics or video and plug into my computer and either view what im looking at in real time or something similar to this one. Walmart.com: Celestron LCD Digital Microscope: Optics

MFSRP is $299. and on sale for $100.

I was also looking at Digital Aquarium Microscope: DR Instruments Reefer's Digital Microscope for Reef Care

but I think im leaning more toward the first. What do you guys think?
Do any of you have any microscope suggestions?

I thinking - I can't wait till this baby is born and gets a couple years old - cause I am going to have some fun with stuff like that!!!

I would pick up the first. The price seems great, its probably good enough for messing around. The other one seems like it is a little less user friendly, but a little more scientific.
I guess it depends on what you are looking to use it for.

mostly to look at rotifers, ciliates and Mandarin eggs/lavae. I would love to be able to get pics of eggs as the cells develop.
