Mind sharing where you purchased it? I bought a microscope that didn't work out and am looking for a new one.
Digital scopes are decent for taking photos, but a loupe and a light source are invaluable for the finding of varieties.
No doubt about it. I have one like Jim's. Those LEDs cause fake, light doubling sometimes. If you loupe it first, you know that light doubling isn't really there.
If you get one, don't do like me and skip the directions. There is a clear lens cap on it. You can take pictures through it, but they will have blurry areas and scratches. My results were much better without it!
