The average scope seen in a School Lab doesn't have a decent light source, it
only has two fixed magnifications and no iris for contrast control. Usually the stage is not designed to hold the
article you are working with.
For looking at larger things like earthworms, rocks, flowers etc it doesn't make sense to stick a video camera
down one eyepiece of a dissecting microscope.

A more intelligent , elegant solution is to mount a MacroZoom lens on your camera with a range of focal length or zoom settings. This emulates a high-priced ZOOM Dissecting Microscope!BUT, be careful!...... A Macro lens is NOT a $25.00 25mm fixed focal length lens! Nor is it a $400.00 alleged macrozoom lens which only goes up to 75mm, and has a click button for macro, requiring you jam the lens right up against your specimen to get any kind of magnification.
What you need is a Long Working Distance MacroZoom lens with a zoom range of 18mm to 108mm and a removable close-up lens so you can do telephoto too. Our DS-LWZ Lens fills this need completely. These lenses are hard to come by, since they are heavily used in industrial QC labs... Resolution Technology always has a reserve of them on hand.
