Matryoshka Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My dd would really like a microscope for Christmas. I'd like to get one that has a digital option (something that attaches to the computer is fine), as she has bad eyesight and needs glasses to see anything, so while she can look through an optical scope, I think the digital option would really increase its usefulness for us. It would be nice if it could also be used optically. What magnification should I be looking for? I see one from Celestron for $69, and others seem to run $249-$299 and up(!). Is the $69 one "cheap" do you think? There are very few details in the specs. Any other recommendations for things I should look for/avoid? Any brands that are good/bad? Do you have one you love/hate? If I'm going to buy the darn thing, though, I want it to be able to last through high school biology, and not just be a toy. TIA for any advice!
