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.

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

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_Micro_Handheld_Deluxe_Digital.html
Celestron Deluxe Handheld Dig Mic 49.95 Free Shipping, In Stock (the one I bought) with metal stand.

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
