Does this microscope work for looking at hair cells?

Yes. I use this microscope to look at the hair cells of the various fish that I catch. Highly recommend.

actually, this can be used as both a fishing rod holder AND a microscope. very popular with marine biologists.

I haven't tried this, but it may actually work to an extent. The Plugable microscope is not a good option for long term use of this type however. Lighting is not appropriate and focusing would be a pain. You'll need a compound biological microscope, so start saving the pennies. The micro world is amazing, so a decent microscope is a great investment. You won't regret it.

Not that I know of, it is not for that. It is for thinning hair and helps to maintain and grow new hair.

I use mine for blood analysis, It is an amazing scope. I have hooked it up to my Daughters MAC and it works great. It comes with everything as far as lenses. You will need to order slides and dyes if you need them as well. If you have any more questions let me know

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.

I suppose if the telescope had the same dimensions to the eyepiece that the microscope does, that it might work. There could be a problem with available light unless you were using the telescope in bright daylight. Doesn't cost anything but time to try.

No. This microscope is for object you can shine light THROUGH. You would need a stereoscope for coins.

The scope is heavy and very detailed and needs to be stationary. For feathers, insects, etc, I would suggest a cheaper, microscope with a LCD screen and photo option. Look at the Celestron website or the other scopes.

Possibly but I would recommend a microscope with at least 60X. You can also find ones for a few more dollars that have LED and UV lighting.

It really depends on what the object is... anywhere between an inch and flush. It is not a very powerful microscope. I suggest spending a bit more money and purchasing one with better magnification. This is fine for experimenting with the kids and (hopefully) getting them interested in biology or the like but that's about it.

Yes, I have only set it up to check (and play with the dog) but it does display a prominent cross hair image. The crosshair lines are not super fine so if you need pinpoint scientific accuracy it could be a factor.

I have used mine primarily to scan slides into my photo editing program on my computer so unable to answer that question.

First the Company selling this microscope is very good and responsible. I have no complains about their services. On the other hand, I wish I could answer your question more precisely. It depends on the work you are doing; in my case the microbiology course was demanding me procedures beyond the capability of this great microscope. I suggest you to research a little bit more and obtain reviews from microscope buyers, sharing your interests in using a microscope before any purchase...

Yes, I would think it would work great for that. It's not as bright as an iphone and it casts a smaller circle but we've used it in the pitch dark and it's good for just the small area you're looking at through the magnifying glass.

Im veterinarian and i work on the lab, with this microscope u can see very accuracy a bunch of intracelular parasites likes Rickettsias and Protozoans. Including larvies of Heart worm. Even u can prepare good citologias en visualize the núcleo or cytoplasms very well. i am using mine with ocular 20x to achieve more magnificence.

Yes, you can see the objects very well and super clear without actually taking a freeze frame image of it. My daughter is a freshman and uses it for homeschool biology. We have seen very tiny organisms moving about on the screen and then she snaps the digital image so she can draw it into her book for the experiments. Its very helpful! Its a great microscope and I am glad we made the purchase!

yes of course... but it's not very powerful and cheaply made... if you use it once a week, don't expect it to last very long... it's best for trimming tiny hairs, not big swaths of hair.
