Re: Microscope Cameras?

Many cell phones these days have cameras that really are nothing short of amazing--at least for someone old enough to remember when 35mm was considered a tiny format. And no mirror or shutter vibration issues! Since you have apparently found an iPhone adapter that works dependably, the main argumen...

The point of this digiscope is that it takes pictures to jpg files on a memory card. I can process the images through normal photo software.

Re: Things Seen on Mars
