cheap pc microscope

[Wombat]

For all of you interested in diagnosing disease with the aid of a cheap USB microscope could I recommend the following to you. It's not quite in the same league as the £325,000 Leica confocal microscope I use for my reseach, but it isn't bad considering ;)

That looks very impressive for the money, certainly a bit cheaper than yours :D

Any suggestions on microscopes that offer 600-1000x ? Kinda pondering getting one for some uni work on the marine biology unit. Used to have an el cheapo kids one that went to 600 but the 600x lens always had gunk on it straight out the box, couldn't see anything!

Depends what you have to spend but expect to pay £600 minimum second hand

Ok. *bubble bursts*

Guess I'll have to get to know the lab technicians at uni a bit better :D
