<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2248435, member: 15199&quot;]If a person plans to do this for several decades, and can afford it, don&#039;t go the USB route, but buy a decent trinocular stereo microscope. They cost more, but last forever. They do honest magnification , not the fake measurements the USB scopes use. 800X, my foot!. You can change the lens as needed and also&nbsp; as your eyes change over age, you can adjust diopters of one eyepiece to keep both eyes focused. Some inexpensive point and shoot cameras have many times the resolution of a USB scope and can be used with a lab microscope.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; am finding more and more who are posting &quot;doubled dies&quot; which they determine with an USB scope that is NO where near in focus, also if it happens to be close, the fake magnification and resolution is so poor artifacts are present then add the fact that most digital scopes use software extrapolation and add data to fill in the blank areas, which can contribute to images that appear to be doubled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes a real lab type of scope is more expensive, but it will still work when Win 10.54 in the near future no longer supports USB, what are you going to do? This is happening with some very expensive astronomy USB cams, they won&#039;t work under USB on win10.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
