Microscope Video Camera - Video Labs Teach - Flex Cam
The Flex Cam is simple and a lot of fun to use.   The flexible neck allows you to place the camera onto any type of microscope or use as a free standing camera (without microscope).  Just point the camera to the object that you want to show onto a television screen for the entire class to see. You can even video tape the image and it has a built in microphone; make a movie about your algae or bugs. The base lights up for use without a microscope and the unit will focus centimeters away from an object.   The camera comes in a wooden box with clear setup directions.  This would be great for macroinvertebrate identification labs, dissecting labs, bacteria work (especially colony counting), algae work. The television is not included.
