Digital camera reviews of Digital Blue QX5 Digial Microscope
Digital camera Review: A Great Educational Tool
Summary: 4 Stars
I learned of this digital microscope in the Master Gardener program in Marin County, CA and I must say it is a very exciting addition to my home educational library. The QX5 is very easy to setup and get running. It offers flexibility in viewing material on the existing stand or in a hand-held mode. The fine focus is slightly difficult to obtain but the overall performance is outstanding for the price. It is 10x, 60x, and 200x in power and so can be used for many slides. My main use is with plant tissue, insects, and inspection of diseased plants. It meets all expectations and is highly versatile for visual inspection of minute objects not visible to the naked eye.
As an educational object for children, I find it very helpful for adults and of value in exploring the world in a different way. It is amazing to find a microscope that works so well with a PC to not only provide great magnification but also has the capacity of taking still photos and videos! I just made a presentation using both still and video modes for plant insect specimens. Try this unit out and you will be surprised at the quality of the image. The LED light source is adequate for most observations. I do use an additional LED flashlight to add more light to the subject. You do have upper and lower light sources in this unit.
Frank thinks you will enjoy this microscope.
Highly recommended.
