Sometimes when looking into the microscope trying to count cell colonies are really painstaking. If you are wearing spectacles, you might be having the trouble knocking them with the eyepieces. Now Celestron is releasing this microscope in February 2008 attached with liquid crystal display (LCD), which makes it looks pretty cool.

Celestron said that the microscope can be used to examine stamps, coins, molds, yeasts, bacteria and animal parts.
