| I have been thinking about buying a digital micoscope, because as I get older my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. These microscopes can be plugged into your computer which will give you a much bigger picture to view.
Have any of you ever used one or have one? What about cost? They range about $50.00 and up. Thanks Cork |

| Some time ago a few growers on the Brats forum bought and were discussing the purchase. One lady sent videos of bugs she was able to capture on video. I would say at that price they are certainly worth it. I have never used anything more than a 40X jeweler's loupe. Nancy |

| I have a regular microscope. I love it for checking for mites, nematodes, fungus, especially in the roots. Carol |

| I purchased an affordable, quality digital microscope/camera built by Celestron for $49.95. It's a USB plugin to your PC, comes with CD software, and installs very easily. I use it to view my African violet flower parts. I got mine at: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/761329-REG/Celestron_44302_A_Mic

| elyons Thanks for the "info". I ordered a microscope on e-bay, but had to return it because it would not work on my computer. My operating system is "Windows 7 (64 bit). Will the one you purchased work on this system? Thanks Cork
