So all I have to take photos is my phone. I cannot afford a nice camera, but I have been hearing about digital microscopes that can take photos. what suggestions do you have?
I've heard about the Carson Zorb, and some Celestron microscopes. I'm looking to spend from under $80 on one and would prefer it to be around $40 to $50.
tell me what you use, and the price. and if you have example pictures that would be appreciated but not necessary.

thanks in advance.

I use a Celestron 44302 and paid about $60. If you type 44302 in the search box,upper left of this page it will tell you more.
