Ogles Mescoscope

I think everyone here at one point has thought about how cool it would be to have a microscope that you could put on the glass of your aquarium some how to check things out. Well somebody made one! Check this out:

Anyone have one?

 

ohhhhhh....very cool! i watch my tank enough as it is, if i had one i would never leave the house....@ $495 it's a little spendy for me

 

very cool Matt.... first time I've heard of it.

 

I've seen those advertised before- very cool- they should come out with a budget model for us poor folks!

 

One of my friends played with one quite a bit at IMAC. She said it was very cool and wants one. Another one of my friends "borrowed" Anthony Calfo's Oglescope and he didn't like it at all until he found out that to look at corals at the back of the tank, you have to take off one macro adaptor. Anthony travels so much, I doubt he's realized that it's gone. ;D

According to someone who owns it, the pictures taken with it are not as good as one might think. He said while looking through it, everything is very clear but when you put a cheap point and shoot digital into the eyepiece, things get blurrier.

The company is currently developing adaptors to attach to camera's. I think I would email them to determine compatibility if that's your interest.

 

I have read they are coming up with camera adaptors for it.

Not sure what camera's will fit but it's coming soon

Very cool but too big of a ka-ching factor for me to get one

 

I want one!
