Microphotography using an industrial 5Mpixel camera
My microscope is a professional one but old fashioned. I bought it many years ago, for US100 from Aliexpress. Now, this model is not for sale but an equivalent is still available, costing about US100 also. I also bought recently a student version with a maximum objective of less than 40x, because it is not capable of oil immersion but its tube is too short and its stage is too small to accommodate a micro adjustable stage.
