i need to take 1 cm2 shots with the microscope. can do that?

I have not measured out any area to view with the scope, so I can not be certain. As the mount for this device is not particularly great I usually end up putting the plastic ring around what I intend to view & zoom in to focus. Is it possible to take 1 cm2 shots with it, likely yes though you will have to experiment with focal lengths to get the magnification & field of view that you want. This device is more of a toy than a piece of lab equipment mainly due to the iffy base & the magnification dial's placement. If something more lab grade that is what you are looking for I recommend a more typical microscope such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/iOptron-ST-80-Digital-Microscope/dp/B0032VFC84/ref=fs_patw_1 It has higher magnification, a backlight, & multiple objective lenses. I hope this was helpful.

I would not recommend it. It was cheaply made and the part that makes the specimens show under the microscope broke even with careful handling. On top of that my godson was bored with it in within 15 minutes.

There are digital cameras made specifically for use with microscopes that you can connect to you computer. To use them, you would remove the eyepiece from the microscope and replace it with the digital camera. If you have an SLR type camera that you would want to use, there are microscope adapters available, usually specific to the camera brand you want to use. Amazon should have a selection of microscope cameras and SLR adapters, for which ever way you choose to go.

No you cannot. It is a single 12x magnification. The only zoom option you have is your phone's built-in camera zoom. It has manual focus that can be tricky to work with in conjunction with the camera's auto focus.

I dot see why not just don't shoot it wide open. It'll be a tough focus pull and it's not very sharp at 1.5.

A real microscope has an ocular 10x and would not benefit from 180 degree view. Your best method of achieving digital microscopy is using a c clamp adaptor.

About to try. Had to print 142pg manual from the web. Claims shots from 1.2 inches are good. This is a compact, though, not an SLR with specialty macro lenses...

according to fuji specs super macro zoom will focus at 1 cm. I have not tried this yet

The minimum focus distance is 0.15m. At that distance the magnification should be at least 1:1.

This microscope is very good. It would probably work for what you intend to do with it. I bought it to use with a DVD Biology course I bought.

You must connect any camera through the third port(camera port) with an adapter from Amscope that mates to your camera by taking the lens off and bayonetting the adapter on the camera, the other end mates on the third port of the microscope. The resolution of the image is not as good as with regular pictures.

Yeah, now that I think of it it may need to be cm for the 0.2 . They are really thin, but not a fraction of a millimeter.

Yes you can shoot closer but how close is determined by the focal length (mm) of your lens.

I'm not sure if you can do this. However, what's the reason or advantage you envisage by doing this ??. I suggest you go straight with 2xD cells. It will be simple with amazing results.

I have not actually done this and I work in a steel mill and know what you are looking for , so as long as your sample is properly prepared I don't think you should have a problem. The microscope is capable of the magnification range and the screen resolution is good enough however I think you will need to use an alternative light source, the light above the stage isn't great. Also your sample is going to have to be relatively thin to insure that you have the room to focus.

I would not use this type of microscope for solid objects as it has a dependency of light passing through the specimen, like protist and specimen smears. If you are looking for something high-end for solid objects I would suggest something like OMAX 20X-40X-80X Digital Binocular Stereo Microscope with Dual Lights System and 2.0MP USB Digital Camera, notice the design difference. But honestly, a good Camera with a macro lens should work, a cheap USB camera may even work. I would check into what others are using for this type of work. This camera is not what you want as it is more for biology and other micro science hobbyist.

You can get within four or five inches of most still subjects and get a good shot. The lighting can sometimes be a challenge indoors. I experiment with flash/no flash to get what I need. :^)
