It looks like those in need of something a little more serious than a DIY microscope will soon have a new option to consider from Celestron, which is set to debut its new LCD digital microscope at CES. Up front and center on this one, as you can see, is a relatively large 3.5-inch LCD, which gets paired with a 2 megapixel digital camera and, of course, a microscope that'll let you take a peek at things at magnification levels up to 40x. You'll also get 128MB of internal memory to store those extreme close-ups for posterity and, thankfully, an SD card slot for further expansion. No word on a price just yet, but you'll apparently be able to get your hands on one sometime in February.

This would be handy at school for my project, but I need a little more magnification than 40X. But overall pretty cool
Now I can fufill my lifelong dream of creating a website:
MICROBE PrON !
With this microscope. I can check my own fertility after watching ethnic porn.
As per the product website, magnification is 40 to 400 Power - up to 1600 Power with Digital Zoom
Ok I want one
Digital zoom is not really zoom at all: it's maximum optical zoom + image cropping, thus leaving you with a lower-resolution picture (less than 2 Mpix). I would rather wait for Celestron to release a more-expensive version with at least 120x optical resolution. And I plan to use it to verify the authenticity of my expensive coin collection and to aid me in spotting hairlines and other mint defects that would prevent my coins from achieving the all-desirable, perfect-uncirculated MS-70 grade.
Oops, didn't read the 400x optical zoom spec. OK, I don't need to wait for a more-expensive version; this version will do fine to me. But still, my discussion on the disadvantage of digital zoom is still valid.
wow! this is uber geeky. i wish i had one!
Now, if they'd release a telecope with this, wow..
Just needs a USB jack and PC drivers to skip the screen all together
Yeah I mean I really don't need a lcd screen, since I have monitor.
agree...the LCD makes the product more expensive too...
Any idiot can of course attach a standard webcam to any old microscope or telescope if you need that, it's not rocketscience.

Sounds like you're just the man for the job
