Question 1

One of the pictures indicates it can be connected to a computer, I assume via USB cable. Is that a correct assumption? If so , does the cable come wit

Accepted Answer

Purchased May 2017: I made the mistake of assuming this had a camera with USB computer because of the product description. In my opinion it is very misleading. You're only getting a microscope, 1 extra eye piece, and an AC adapter. No other cables or slides included.

If my son put things like hair, or a penny, or grass under it, would he be able to see them? I know some microscopes have a top light for seeing these
