Environmental Education Centres in NSW and Queensland have
discovered WiFi digital microscopes for use in the field.
Tablet computers are ideal for collecting data using
wireless data loggers such as the Pasco Airlink and Pasco’s range of wireless
sensors Visit The Logical Interface. Combined with a WiFi digital microscope they are also perfect for
viewing and capturing images of flora and fauna in the field.
In Sydney the Georges River EEC has integrated the TLI
iMicro digital microscope from The Logical Interface into their courses.
Garth Jones of the GREEC has forwarded images of his
students with the description -
“Recently students used this microscope in the field. Dr
David Reid helped students identify macro invertebrates using iPads. The students
were more engaged in the process. GRCCC and GREEC run a River Health Monitoring
program with several high schools along the Georges River.”
