Q. What are the drawbacks of using a digital microscope?

Answer

The need for an external power connection is one of the most noticeable disadvantages of digital microscopes when contrasted with stereo or compound microscopes. The picture of the material that is seen via a digital microscope is always presented on a monitor rather than an eyepiece since digital microscopes do not have eyepieces. As a result there must be at minimum one power cord present for it to function properly. Generally digital microscopes need a link to a monitor screen or even a personal computer in order to function properly. In addition users of classic microscopes still have the option of utilising eyepieces to observe their specimens in the field of vision of the microscope.
