Does this use reflective or transmissive lighting? In other words, is there a light, i.e. an LED, on the bottom lighting up the specimen? Or do we have to rely on overhead lighting in the room?
I think those are just unhatchable eggs. To have living sea monkeys, you have to use dechlorinated water, which most people don’t have. That’s why sea monkey kits come with dechlorination powder. I guess you can buy spring water in the supermarket.
It looks about the same as the old intel, I had one a few years back had a really hard time getting USB to work right, so I hope its better then the old intel versions, but you know what would be really excellent, if they figured out how to get a 1000X that way you could identify serious problems without having to go to the lab.
I assume that the difference between top or bottom lighting on how the image is effective is top lighting will show more surface detail…is that correct?
2011 review complains about software, other 3 star reviews conclude that it works fine, but has limited capabilities relative to a ‘real’ starter microscope. Price here is very good vs Amazon…
