I have just check sperm with it. I think is a good microscope for the price.

Yes, but you will probably want to use a different driver. This one is chinese and shows it. It's VERY slow in recognizing the device, taking up to 3 minutes some times. Makes you think the device is broken. You can use VideoLans (and many other) excellent (and free) all purpose AV tool to view and record the images through this microscope. You will need to put the time and effort of reading the documentation for Videolan, but it's worth your time.

Yes you can. Probes are available on iDevices website. http://idevicesinc.com

No, the camera cannot be connected to this microscope unfortunately. The diameter of the eye port is too small.

I don't think you can hook the projector up directly to the microscope. One solution might be to capture the image on a memory card, and if the projector has a corresponding slot, you may be able to project the image that way. I hope this is somewhat helpful.

No is the short answer. Look for "macro" lenses or "magnifier" lenses or "microscope" apps or lenses

It's a great kids microscope, but the 2 year old version I have is not digital - no computer inputs. I don't think it has changed, nor believe they have added a scanner / snapshot capability.

No, this probe is for locating pipes, septic tanks etc. Not much bigger than a pencil in width.

I don't think so. The slides have a special design and.In other way, this microscope have a very poor zoom.

Yes. I have also used it to sift powdered sugar on beignets, and to wash rice!

Hello--As far as testing food,I am not aware of this unit being used for that -You might have to research alittle futher...

Not really. This is more of a stationary magnifying glass. I use it to look at garden bugs up close, leaves, rocks, etc. You can view 3-dimensional objects with this, unlike a true microscope where you look at "2-dimensional" objects. I suppose you can look at slides with it (I have done this), but you'd be disappointed if you needed to see microscopic detail.

This microscope is very good. It would probably work for what you intend to do with it. I bought it to use with a DVD Biology course I bought.

I would not use this type of microscope for solid objects as it has a dependency of light passing through the specimen, like protist and specimen smears. If you are looking for something high-end for solid objects I would suggest something like OMAX 20X-40X-80X Digital Binocular Stereo Microscope with Dual Lights System and 2.0MP USB Digital Camera, notice the design difference. But honestly, a good Camera with a macro lens should work, a cheap USB camera may even work. I would check into what others are using for this type of work. This camera is not what you want as it is more for biology and other micro science hobbyist.

First the Company selling this microscope is very good and responsible. I have no complains about their services. On the other hand, I wish I could answer your question more precisely. It depends on the work you are doing; in my case the microbiology course was demanding me procedures beyond the capability of this great microscope. I suggest you to research a little bit more and obtain reviews from microscope buyers, sharing your interests in using a microscope before any purchase...

No, but you could test a spot on a porcelain tub, or any spot on any toilet.

I suppose if the telescope had the same dimensions to the eyepiece that the microscope does, that it might work. There could be a problem with available light unless you were using the telescope in bright daylight. Doesn't cost anything but time to try.
