here is what im looking at .
i know nothing about microscopes but i know that is what alot of people use to look at and take pics with so any input on if thats a good one or what kind i should get would be great . i don't mind spending money on something thats good and going to work i just don't want to buy one and then have to spend more money because that one was not what i needed.
Okay, here goes. Forget about the camera attachment, you do not need it. Forget about anything over 40X, you do not need it.
What you do need is a zoom capability, no fixed magnification like 20X, 40X, 80X. I find that the 7.5X to 35X with zoom capabilities is great for the work that I do. Of course, the binocular feature is a must, however, the port lens for shooting pictures (a third lens) is not necessary; you can shoot pictures through either of the eye pieces.
If you want to shoot pictures, buy yourself a Canon Power Shot A720 IS. I have taken almost 6000 photos with mine and it is just a great little camera that just keeps on going. Plus, this camera fits over the scope's eye piece snugly and does not weigh that much.
