[meteorite-list] digital hand held microscopes with capture capability

[Michael Blood]

Hi all,
        I looked up the Celestron Digital 10X 150X (69.95)
And there are many models of the Dino-Lite, but the only
One that made sense to me was the Dino-Lite Pro AM411T
1.3MP  (also works on Macs) and it was $329.95, so, I don't
Know what the "$500 Dino-Lite model" is, as all the ones that
Went "u[" from the 411 model seemed too spacific and more
Aplicable to medical work.
        So, my questions are:
1) is there a Dino-Lite model I am unaware of that IS better?
2) how much better is the 411 Dino-Lite than the Celestron?
3) is that difference worth about 4.5 X the price?
        Anyone? (I tried to get David's phone number, but aparently
He is away from his computer).
        RSVP
        Thanks, Michael
