I've finally bought a Celestron digital LCD microscope, after months of consideration. I'd have loved the alternative - a trinocular 2000X scope with an attached camera, but the cost was almost prohibitive, and I had misgivings about the camera attachment working properly on a Mac. Although the Celestron only gives a true magnification of 400X, I figured it would be enough for most of my applications - namely cell counting, and perhaps to identify contaminants.
Let's look at some first pics!
