The camera can record still images and videos on my systems. The quality of the image depends on the capacity of the camera in megapixels and the installed ranges are between 1.3 MP-5 MP with high-quality illumination by the LED light source. The magnification power is about 1x-200x. The inbuilt camera is 5 megapixels and the lenses are about 10-150 mm. The image production is fast, accurate and very clear that is displayed, saved in the USB port. The microscope has an adjustable stand that manually focuses on the image and has a flexibility that allows change of planes of view to the screen. The direct attachment to the microscope to the USB port, allows it to capture images and record short videos, stored in the USB. Light is reflected from the sample, into the camera lens, which has enough sensitivity for the light it reflects. (Tom Hine is a retired journalist who also worked 34 years as a criminal defense investigator in California he and his wife recently moved to the Charlotte area.As a digital microscope, this microscope lacks eyepiece since it has an inbuilt LED light, which is the source of light for the microscope. Who among us wouldn’t prefer a flock of miniature sea gulls occupying our trees to beetly beasts from the land of insects? And maybe they make no noise whatsoever.īut if they aren’t cicada, something else is busy whooping up loud catastrophes in my trees and bringing me storms of gray noise. One set of critters could be members of the flying green toad family and the other a miniature sea gull. Of course they might not be cicadas at all I’m no ophthalmologist. Next morning, dark and early, they’re still hard at it.
Next, slowly and cicada by cicada, they pile their scratchy musical clouds atop each other’s, and soon comes the first wild crescendo.
Instantly, simultaneously and abruptly, the surging gray noise of a thousand toy jet engines quits. When not dead, cicadas assemble in the trees around my house, all facing my direction and on a signal only they can hear, burst into “song” of a thousand raspy, hissy violinists working as a team to build crescendo after crescendo, then bang! and it’s over. Some have a glamorous iridescent emerald set of positively radiant wings even while ants busy themselves feasting on dead cicada innards.Īnother version, almost as pretty as those wearing shiny layers of green, are exotic black-and-white cicadas, sort of like Dalmatians or zebras in their stark patterns. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t dead, and their buggy corpses, usually spotted on a sidewalk, are always worth pausing to inspect. These fellers are about the size of your thumb.

PLUS CICADASĪnother marvel of the North Carolina semi-insect world is the Cicada, a big, loud beetle whose nightly buzzsaw symphony is both thrilling and mysterious.
I’ve been in North Carolina about 15 minutes (well, six months) and am on a first-name basis with most of the chiggers in my neighborhood and have had intimate relations with dozens. I spent 50 years in California and the closest I ever came to an earthquake were a few headlines in newspapers.
