[extropy-chat] Resources for microscopes

[Neil H.]

It sounds like you already have a microscope, but a rather neat device is
the QX-5 digital microscope:

Basically, it lets you view the microscope via a computer, so you can easily
save snapshots and such. It's also easier to use with multiple people at
once.
