<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2248469, member: 19250&quot;]A real lab scope weights between 15 -20 pounds, it&nbsp; takes up a lot of room. So unless you have a place ( a hobby&nbsp; desk or area as such) you are looking to store a very sensitive&nbsp; piece of equipment . Sensitive to temperature , dust, and other environmental&nbsp; hazards. A real scope are used in labs. Labs are controlled&nbsp; environments&nbsp; so the scope is protected&nbsp; from dust and other hazards.</p><p>I know this as my first purchase of a scope was a lab scope, and it went back shortly after it arrived.</p><p>If you are a family with young children&nbsp; or pets don&#039;t&nbsp; even consider&nbsp; it. Pet hair and a 4 years old interest in what mommy&nbsp; and daddy are looking at may be costly in the long run.</p><p>Yes if you have an area to keep the scope protected&nbsp; from all of the above go for it....... if not drop&nbsp; $150.00 into a USB scope I&#039;m&nbsp; glad I did, Besides most scopes I researched used a 1 Meg camera to image . You might as well just buy a USB scope and be done with it .</p><p>Your&nbsp; not looking to save humanity&nbsp; you&#039;re&nbsp; looking at what&#039;s going on with a medal disk,and snapping an image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
