Hi Amber,
We have excellent luck with the ProScope Mobile, it works on iPads and iPhones. One microscope connects to many devices at once. We have had several iPhones and iPads looking at the same image broadcast from one scope. It is durable enough for kids to use, but not enough to be left at an exhibit.

Aloha Andrea,
I'm curious to see what you come up with.
We're currently looking at doing a similar thing but with an IPad as the monitor at our docent activity carts. Does anyone have any advice on digital scopes that connect to IPads?
Thanks
