would this be good to use in the field to help with ebola identification?

I do not think this item would be good to use in the field. It is a little unstable and would best be used at home in a stable environment.

Bonni, I don't think so, given the refraction in the water from eyes to scope. The limiting factor optically seems to be the diameter of the eyepiece lens; maybe larger would work. You would need exceptionally clear water for any distance you might need them for. If it was for measuring lengths of animals the movements would cancel out a base and also there would be an inherent error in eye-mask-lens. I do search/rescue occasionally and if you will contact Amazon to ask me again in October I'll have more accurate info. Most of our SARs are in pretty low-visibility waters. I stick them on my PFD, velcroed. Many turnovers and bumps and they function for what they were designed for- terrestrial distances! -Bill

Yes. Make sure it fits with no gaps at the sides or bottom or top. This has more info: ebolaready.com

I see that as a very appropriate use of this particular detector. It could save a life. The only possible problem I can see is if the tractor's ignition system is very noisy, and the detector sees that noise as possible lightning. If so, the detector will tell you it does not like the environment it is being used in, and will ask to be repositioned. But at the bottom line, I would buy one and try it out. I expect you will like it. I know I would never go hiking in lightning season without carrying one of these little detectors.

I bought the NV200 for one purpose only - to keep safe the "curiosity seekers" (untrained children and the inquisitiveness untrained adults) from harm. It works well for this purpose.

Short of forensic testing, there is no way to tell. i bought them to use in a cold/flu remedy. They served purpose I bought them for.

I hope so, my doctor's office uses them. One of the reasons I bought this for home use. It gives consistent readings. It also gives accurate readings (sigh).

I think it would work to calculate your distance on the soccer field. It is good at keeping track of distance and time and pace. You probably don't care about pace, but if it connects to satellite, it will tell distance!!

I don't think this is a possibility with this particular dermatoscope. It's really just a pocket tool for clinical examination. If you need to make photographic records you probably need to look further afield to a more expensive instrument. Having said that, there are two other doctors in my practice who use the same instrument and find it more than adequate.

I have not used it in a portable application before but it certainly could be used in that environment. I had planned to find a case for the unit to protect it during transit but have not been able to find a suitable one. I planned to use it in conjunction with a small IBM ThinkPad Laptop. Just one word on caution about scanning in a bright environment; the unit uses reflected light from the scanner head and works best in subdued lightning.

I wish I could answer this for you, but I only use mine for wildlife spotting out at Yellowstone. I imagine it would work just fine, as you can see things very clearly at these ranges.

It is good to have information about the weather. I'd certainly want to know when it was approaching the freezing mark. Also to track changes in the weather. Would even be better if it had a barometer. You can also use every day - not just for survival. Overall, it is a nice compact tool. But keep in mind, this is not a high precision tool and would not rely only on this for survival.

Yes, but since it's an outside temp rather than internal, don't expect it to match normal readings. I've been thinking of using this with, say, sleeping grandchildren who may have a fever. My first step will be to run some trials to establish what this thermometer reads when things are normal. Then I will have the baseline for determining fever. The only issue is that it is a laser beam, so when using it on any person who is awake, be sure the laser doesn't hit them in the eye!

It has several uses, and I would suggest that you research them all, but in my case, I use it as a blood thinner and it seems to do the job.

Ebola has been ravaging africa for years before America's scare, I'm sure you are fine as there have been many people who have bought it and none came down with ebola, including myself. Secondly it says its from Ghana.

Its just a barcode scanner you would need some Database to look up the barcode to get the rest. In short no, but also it could be.

First of all, I'm pretty sure Ebola isn't airborne, but if it were, as long as you have toxic filters, you should be ok. It really all depends on the filters. I'm not sure if they make filters better than the pink toxic ones, but they may for medical professionals working with infectious diseases. As far as I know, the toxic filters keep EVERYTHING out including smells and toxic gasses at the molecular level.
