To see what the performance of a cheap microscope is like, MyBroadband bought a digital microscope for R350.
The device supports a magnification of up to 1600 times and can take photos and videos using a 2MP camera. The microscope connects to a computer via USB and is detected as a webcam, which means you can use webcam software to take pictures and videos.
It also has calibration that makes it possible to accurately measure the dimensions of small objects, like pixels on a screen.
