What are the limitations of digital microscopes?
A significant limitation of digital microscopes compared to stereo or compound microscopes is the need for a power connection, since digital microscopes are not equipped with eyepieces and the image of the sample always needs to be displayed on a monitor. Therefore, at least one power cord is required. Typically, digital microscopes also need to be connected to a PC, or at least to the microscope's display. With traditional microscopes, users still have the option to use the eyepieces to acquire images of the sample.
