Re: Inexpensive 3 Megapixel USB color digital cameras

Lower cost lenses usually have ghost images. The Ghost images appear as
lines that seem to float around. I don't think one camera and lens can work
with all microscopes. Different microscope manufacturers have more
correction in the eyepiece or the objective depending on the manufacturer.

I've had good luck mounting my leitz periplan 28mm threaded eypiece to my
Nikon Coolpix 995 camera. It works perfectly with my Leitz microscope but
not to well with my Olympus, Nikon, Wild and Zeiss microscopes.

There are some 3 megapixel USB 2.0 color digital microscope cameras
being listed on eBay for much less than I would have thought
possible.

For example, see:

or

Does anyone have experience with these cameras?

I am considering one for a brightfield reflected light (metallurgical)
microscope or on a stereo microscope. Therefore low light capability
is not an issue.
