No need for eyepieces!

One can state that every microscope nowadays provides digital images, unless you use photo film.Digital microscopes provide primarily speed and convenience, as with digital cameras. The digital microscope brings a whole new level to traditional microscopy. It gives it more magnification power than the average optical microscope. The true beauty of a digital microscope is the ability to display images of the specimen on a computer monitor or TV screen and then save them as either still images or motion video to a hard drive or other storage device. An image of the sample is observed and analyzed directly on an electronic monitor display.

They can produce very high quality images - images limited only by the optical system that feeds them.A digital model utilizes its optics and a camera to capture images. These images are then transferred to a computer monitor for viewing. An optical microscope's magnification power is determined by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the lens magnification. By going digital, the unit can project the image directly to the camera. Images or video captured from digital microscopes can be used in reports, presentations, or assessments. They can easily be shared through email, across the web, or in lectures with colleagues or students.
Depending on whether you choose a high power digital microscope or a low power stereo digital microscope, each can be used in many fields of scientific study including biology, chemistry, and earth sciences. A digital microscope kit has ideal instruments for analysis and documentation of parts and samples during research and development, manufacturing and inspection, quality control and assurance, as well as failure analysis.There are also benefits for teachers.  The entire class can view a specimen at once when the camera is hooked up to a computer and data projector.
