I'll post some more images as I take them.

this thing is really cool.

You focus like with a traditional scope, but you view on the computer screen. It does motion as well as still imaging. Has 10x, 60x, and 200x powers.

I think our oldest (5 years old) is going to be very happy with this!

😀


guess what it is:

thing 1 image 1 200x
thing 1 image 2 200x
thing 1 image 3 60x

thing 2 image 1 200x
thing 2 image 2 60x

thing 3 image 2 200x
thing 3 image 2 60x

His kid is a nerd 😉

Glad it came HBD!
 
Are you making a wreath out of leftover hops this year? Can you send me one? How about just a bag of potpourri? 🙂

Is that the one I suggested?

yes! thank you very much!

I did some searching for reviews and the QX3 and the current iteration QX5 were pretty well received. I bought the scope on ebay (here) for $95 shipped

the one thing I was most worried about was Adam not really being able to see through the eye peice of a traditional microscope. The QX5 shows an image on the PC and of course the images are digital too for emailing to grandparents and for school stuff.

I remember getting a microscope for my ~7th birthday. It was great fun until one day my friend cut himself really, really badly with the little scalpel it came with and we never touched it again.
