RE: USB Microscope - a Fun Toy for Kids and a Useful Tool for Adults
This looks like a great toy for me. I always hated peering down microscopes at University - always gave me a headache trying to combine both eyes point of view. Having it on a screen makes it a lot more fun. I suspect for 200 x magnification you will probably need to use a drop of oil and the switching on process will make it less practical.
There are some products claiming that they offer up to 500x, 800x and even 1000x, the 200x is more liek the enrty level devices... that is at least what they are being labeled as providing, though they do seem to base the numbers of the user showing the image on a large monitor with the monitor adding some "magnification" or something like that.
OK. Sounds like they mean some sort of digital zoom feature.
