I don't know if these are really good - but as in any photography equipments you hardly will get
professional results at low value. I don't see the prices for the better ones on the website,
probably much more than 500.00.

Nikon made a professional one called Neoscope - that is a serious "toy"

You can buy it for a bargain of 60 thousand dollars!

Dear Eddy,

Is this the microscope you are considering, or something like it?

These seem to be more serious instruments than the 'early' digital microscopes discussed on CONCH-L
just a few years ago.  The early ones were marketed as toys.  These seem to be aimed at a different
set of customers.  Simple web searches bring up a wide variety of these now.  There are even YouTube
video reviews providing demonstrations of some of the models.
