Here is another neat little gadget I thought I would share: A digital microscope / camera video camera that is powered by your computer USB. It has built in dimmable LED lights as well as camera. Images are captured via software that comes with it. Image quality is not as good as the camera on my trinocular scope, or quite frankly my cell phone when taking pictures through the scope, but it has its uses. It's relatively cheap at about $100.00. And if you are a teacher with a "powerpoint projector", you can put items under the scope and project them on the big screen in real time for your class. Also great for close-up photos for the Fossil ID forum . Here is the scope Here are some pictures taken with it: Mississippian Actinopterygii tooth (approximately 1 mm in length) Daphnia Tiny Snail

Thought I'd share this here. I just purchased a nifty device for aiding photography through the microscope with a cell phone. I shoot photos through the scope all the time, and if you have ever done this, you know that it takes surgeon's hands to find the eyepiece, center the photo, and get a crisp image. This device clamps to the eye-piece and works on monocular and binocular scopes. It adjusts for the placement of any cell phone. A bit pricey at $189 (available online at Scientific Device Laboratory), but I had to have it and already love it. Here's a pic without the phone.
