JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 5:57 pm if you choose an ebay USB Microscope make sure it is 16MP or above, anything lower and the quality wont be very great from my own experience.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 6:45 pm Nothing above 150x and as low as possible 0-5x. Whatever scope you get there will be a problem with the lights. I have a $15 and a $70 neither is more than 5MP. I do most of my pics with a point n shoot 14MP camera. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
