    Anyone have a good recommend for a microscope?
    My camera could do it but there is the process of setting up a tripod/holding the camera/transferring photos ect.
    Considering this microscope which would allow me to see suspected AEFW eggs and worms/regbugs. Even with my handheld magnifier some things are still to small to tell what I'm looking at. And it takes photos easily.

    You can pick them up for about $46 in some places.

    I have one of these and they work pretty good.

    My only complaint is you can't turn off the LED lighting that rings around the lens. If you try and use it to against the glass of the aquarium, the lights sometime cause reflections and glare. it would be nice if you could turn them off, since the tank lighting provide more than enough light.
