[Petwksp] Microscope video signal to LCD monitor

[Alan Boyle]

Hi all

Does anyone have any experience of setting up teaching microscopes so that live video of what is being viewed can be fed into an LCD monitor without going through a PC? I don't want to be able to capture the images at all, just be able to view them in real time with a small teaching group. I just want a camera that can go straight into an LCD monitor.

I am aware of CRT-based systems such as http://www.hometrainingtools.com/catalog/microscopes-accessories/digital-microscopes-and-cameras/p_mi-vidcam.html

but haven't found an LCD-based one. I want to go the LCD route for space reasons. I also want to do this cheaply as I may need 16 systems.

Regards

Alan
