Can this be use to take photos through a real microscope?

A real microscope has an ocular 10x and would not benefit from 180 degree view. Your best method of achieving digital microscopy is using a c clamp adaptor.

If you mean can you buy an eyepiece camera and hook that up to the microscope, then yes. Just buy a high quality camera. I bought a $50 camera and used my computer monitor to see the images, but they weren't of good resolution.

Generaly no. I'm using it in full frame camera. Depend on the perspective and correction of aberration for the raw file you may have to recompose the frame .

I haven't tried this, but it may actually work to an extent. The Plugable microscope is not a good option for long term use of this type however. Lighting is not appropriate and focusing would be a pain. You'll need a compound biological microscope, so start saving the pennies. The micro world is amazing, so a decent microscope is a great investment. You won't regret it.

Not really. This is more of a stationary magnifying glass. I use it to look at garden bugs up close, leaves, rocks, etc. You can view 3-dimensional objects with this, unlike a true microscope where you look at "2-dimensional" objects. I suppose you can look at slides with it (I have done this), but you'd be disappointed if you needed to see microscopic detail.

It will allow you to do that, but I was very disappointed with it and send it back. Kept disconneting itself. I just bought a cable on a usb to go from camera to computer and it takes no time at all! You will not be happy with this device.

You must connect any camera through the third port(camera port) with an adapter from Amscope that mates to your camera by taking the lens off and bayonetting the adapter on the camera, the other end mates on the third port of the microscope. The resolution of the image is not as good as with regular pictures.

This microscope has a USB port to transfer images to a Mac or PC. Any common imaging program can then display the pictures or video captured by the built in Celestron camera.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! You will be able to use it to take pictures of those without any issues, however you may need to prop the camera up higher off the surface to get a clear image.

Yes if you hold the scope far enough away from it. I can take clear pictures of paintings on my wall. I can also see crystal in a grain of sand. It will produce such image the size of your monitor . It will make a movie so that you can manipulate the item you are magnifying or take a snapshot of such item.

Yes, you can see the objects very well and super clear without actually taking a freeze frame image of it. My daughter is a freshman and uses it for homeschool biology. We have seen very tiny organisms moving about on the screen and then she snaps the digital image so she can draw it into her book for the experiments. Its very helpful! Its a great microscope and I am glad we made the purchase!

Angela, if I understand your question correctly, yes you can. Instead of peeking through the lens the traditional way, what you can do is view the image from the screen and take the picture that way. I hope I was able to answer your question.

This microscope is very good. It would probably work for what you intend to do with it. I bought it to use with a DVD Biology course I bought.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

No. This lens has a magnification factor of .31. True macro lenses have a magnification of 1X (meaning the object is actual size on the surface of the sensor) or more. I'm not sure how small your intended subjects are but a macro lens might not be powerful enough to reveal truly microscopic details, i.e., great for insects, not so helpful for cellular structure.

Not really, it's a magnifying microscope not a binoculars...I use mine to take pic of my micro circuit boards for my electronic products. I hope this helps

It can be used for that yes but when you enlarge the image it gets very distorted and blurry. I advice not purchasing this brand/model.
