steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 11:51 am Hi: Can anyone recommend a good microscope for the dual purpose of cleaning and photographing? Also, it would need to be a good microscope for seeing legends on the computer screen. Thanks! Edited by steve123 02/22/2013 11:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 1:36 pm I bought one of the cheapo ones a few years back, cant even remember the name! It was about $60 at the time and about $20 now. Its fine for cleaning and reading legends but the photos are poor, I would recommend against the super cheap ones (they are all made in the same factories and get different brands stamped onto them for sale) if you want decent pictures. From what I can see Dino-Lite does seem to be a step up in quality, but also in price. Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 2:48 pm steve, I saw one in action at the FUN show last year, and although pricey, it was awesome. There are many different features that personally make it worth the money. I'm still saving for one I have a Dino-Lite catalog at home w/ the model #s. I'll check it out after work today & let you know what I thought was the best one. Report this Post to the Staff
steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 5:13 pm Thanks, everyone. I have an eye on a Dino-Lite AM2011 on E-Bay which is USB, and up to 200X. Camera, stand and shipping,$168.99 USD.. May go with this one.. Steve Edited by steve123 02/22/2013 6:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 8:27 pm steve, I was looking at the AM413T & the AM4012N at the FUN show. So very nice & both had a lot of features. But honestly, I think any of the models would be nice to own... Report this Post to the Staff
