Re: [stella] Some Questions That Bug Me

Wouldn't that depend a lot on the optics / electronics of the video 
cameras?   If the cameras output a resolution higher than you capture than 
you're losing information.

It also depends on what you're looking at with the microscope.  Is it small 
enough that the loss of resolution would make any difference in what you 
ultimately want to do with the images?
