They should work with any microscope. We have an inexpensive children's microscope and they work with it.

Even if your purchased one of AmScop's microscope cameras, you would not be able to attach it to this microscope. The ports are too small to fit one of the microscope cameras. I suggest you upgrade to model M150A, M150B, and M150C.

There are digital cameras made specifically for use with microscopes that you can connect to you computer. To use them, you would remove the eyepiece from the microscope and replace it with the digital camera. If you have an SLR type camera that you would want to use, there are microscope adapters available, usually specific to the camera brand you want to use. Amazon should have a selection of microscope cameras and SLR adapters, for which ever way you choose to go.

Viewing a rock or plant? you will need a stereoscope for that. But if you have to slice it thinly, it has to be between 3 to 5 micrometers to make that happen. if it is thicker, there will be not much optical clarity, cells will be overlapping. Good luck to you my friend.

In my opinion, yes, but you need a better stand. The Celestron stand is weak and insecure. I have used a Dremel Drill press stand with good results.In my opinion this is more of a toy then a useable digital microscope in that it's range is limited and its software is very hard to use with any accuracy.

Very, very likely. I bought the OMAX 40X-2000X Lab LED Binocular Compound Microscope with Double Layer Mechanical Stage and Coaxial Coarse/Fine Focusing Knob in Dec, 2012, which is awfully similar to the one you asked about and about the same price. The eyepieces look nearly identical, which is all that matters for this question. The Celestron works great with mine--I love it. You may want to search for my review on the Celestron for a few tips regarding getting it to work on a computer, etc. Good luck!

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.

I used it in the eyepiece of my Leica microscope and it worked just fine. The only issue will be focus with the other eyepiece (if that is important to you). If you are performing all of your focusing through the camera, then no worries.

Well now, I think if the seven year old could handle a pair of binoculars they might be able to grasp the telescope concept. It's NOT a toy.There would have to be plenty of adult help to understand what the scope is and what it does. It certainly IS NOT an electronic device/game. Much patience will be required till the child gets a grasp of the way it is to be used.

My son's son has this microscope and at this point I cannot answer this question...It is one of the better Microscopes out there...

As long as your microscope uses either 23mm or 30mm diameter eye piece, the camera will fit. My scope has 30mm eye piece, so with the included adapter, the camera works great.

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.

Absolutely. You have to look down into the eyepiece, so you'll need a stable surface low enough for a child to look down into it (or a chair high enough), but otherwise it is very easy to operate. Our daughter has been using hers since she was 5, and has been able to set it up and focus it herself since she was about 6.

Absolutely. My very gifted son got this for Christmas at age 3.5, and now a year later he STILL loves this thing. I think sometimes this coming year we may consider getting him a more powerful microscope for supervised use (because of all the glass,) but whenever he wants to play in his "lab" (his science toys area of the playroom) this is a go to item for sure.

I haven't tried this, but it may actually work to an extent. The Plugable microscope is not a good option for long term use of this type however. Lighting is not appropriate and focusing would be a pain. You'll need a compound biological microscope, so start saving the pennies. The micro world is amazing, so a decent microscope is a great investment. You won't regret it.

Depends on the kid, but they are full sized binoculars, if they are small kids too big to carry, might work if you handed it them to look through.

I would check with customer service at Learning Resources. Just google replacement parts for zoomy microscope.
