Hi Steve,

Correct. I bought these:

http://www.microscope-depot.com/compound-monocular-5meg-lcd.htm


they cost nothing compared with the professional cameras. The pics come out
pretty good, after a lot of mixing with the software. You need time to make
a reasonable result. That's expected for that price. I recommend them, but
you have to accept a bit lower quality than what you used to get when you
were at your company lab.

Good Click!

Inge
