Philip Merlo (*) Just a few years ago, microscopists were torn between the high quality of film prints and the ease of video imaging. However, currently available digital imaging systems combine the high image quality of film and the real-time viewing of video, at new levels of affordability and ease of use.

It is important to note that digital image quality is affected by each component in the optical system. When purchasing a new system, the microscopist must make one of two decisions: balance the optical system within the current budget, or slowly improve a system by ...
