We've utilized this magnifying lens pretty much each and every day for as far back as 7 months in a row! We use it to test the Monarch butterflies we raise and ensure they are not contaminated with sickness (OE - Ophryocystis elektroscirrha) before we discharge them into nature. 

We have just utilized the computerized camera a bunch of times since the magnifying lens is effectively sufficiently able to see the OE spores without the assistant of the PC. That being stated, I am incorporating 2 pics taken with the USB camera connection one demonstrating a "spotless" ruler, and one with clear OE spores. 

TIP to SAVE $$$: Since we raised over 500+ butterflies this season, slides for everyone would be inconceivably costly, so we picked to utilize a bit of clear-see scotch tape to gather the scales/spore test by scouring it tenderly onto the imago's stomach area, and afterward joining it to paper list cards (Mead Plain Index Cards, 4 X 6 Inches (63006)). < That specific "card" is strangely slender and modest so it will work for an uneven use. 



Anyway, utilizing this system, we don't utilize the implicit light under the "slide" (or for our situation list card), we simply enlighten it from above with a handheld electric lamp. Curious, yet it takes care of business rapidly and cheaply. I'm including pics of our set-up with the record cards and electric lamp (Rockbirds Protable LED Flashlight, A100 Mini High Lumens Zoomable Super Bright 3 Mode Tactical Flashlight, Best Tools for Hiking, Hunting, Fishing and Camping (2 Pack)). 

By and large, I would absolutely suggest this compound magnifying lens and it's an incredible value, as well! Ideally, pics will be useful in clarifying further.
