Re: Digital Stereo Microscopes for Teaching Grades 1-8



Al,

Thank you. Have you really seen the QX5 Digital Blue for as little as
$30 or are you referring to the earlier model, and which model are you
using at home?

I am looking for recommendations (both positive and what to avoid)
concerning the best type of digital stereo microscope (and software?)
to get for use by teachers of students from grades 1 through 8. My
thought is to acquire and test the microscope and then to donate it to
a local K-8 private school. The students already have access to
(non-digital) 10X/30X stereo microscopes. The idea is to donate one
digital microscope to be used by the teacher either during "lab"
classes or simply as a teaching tool during non-lab classes. I intend
to start out with a digital stereo scope and possibly add a digital
compound scope later. How much later depends on price. If I could get
a suitable digital stereo scope for less than $1,000, that would be
great. I've seen some advertised in this price range but have no idea
what you are getting for that price. I can probably afford to go as
high as $2,000 if necessary.

Any comments or recommendations would be appreciated.

You can actually find these for $30 or so. You can even find updated
software for them. It's worth a look.

I use one at home and am satisfied for the price.
