I want to buy a microscope. Preferably one that I can hook up to my computer and take digital pictures and video with. I'd prefer it be made of metal, but I wouldn't pass on quality sturdy plastic. I don't know if single-lens or dual-lens is better, but dual-lens always seemed to make my eyes all googly. Maybe I'm looking through it wrong. Oh, and I don't want to spend a lot of money. Probably $100 at the most, and I'd probably go a little more if the Excalibur of microscopes presented itself to me.

I know we have a lot of science types on these boards. Can anyone recommend a good microscope for home use? Thanks.
