This is a solid, well-built piece of equipment that simply plugs in the USB port. There is a top (LED) light powered by the USB, & a bottom light for slides etc. powered by AA batteries. The focus control is easy & accurate to use, with 3 useful magnification levels (20x, 40x & 100x). The software is straightforward to install & very user-friendly, allowing you to capture & edit still or moving images (including time lapse). annotation tools for highlighting & labeling, a comparison tool for layering 2 images over each other, & a measuring tool for accurate measurement of subject matter. Because this is a digital image, you can link into your IWB etc. just as we do with the visualiser. Observing closely using equipment such as a microscope is part of the science curriculum. The microscope barrel can be removed from the stand & used as a hand-held device (useful for field studies when linked to a portable laptop or netbook). The images below are actual GeneeScope shots of a bee's eye at 20x, 40x & 100x magnification showing the quality of the image...
