This looks like an interesting unit with a built in display plus tethered capture.

Yes, interesting.

Manufacturer's Page is https://www.celestron.com/products/...l-microscope

One possible concern -- I'd like to see them list support for Windows 10 and macOS Sierra (10.12.x), but the website lists only previous operating systems. Most likely it will work with the latest OSes, but I prefer to see it in writing.

Software: Proprietary Celestron Portable CapturePro software
Software Compatibility: Windows XP or better, Windows: XP/Vista/7/8, Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7

MSRP is $199. Retail Price seems to be around $180

I saw it "discounted" to $162 at Optics Planet

Hi all, what stamps would you use this instrument on?

I suppose this would connect to a computer? I'm computer stupid, I know USB is a computer term?

You can attach it to a computer using the USB port or use without a computer and save to local SSD card.

I would use it to capture images of plating diagnostics on US Scott #10/10A/11/11A.
