can i view gemstones on this microscope

No, you cannot use this microscope to view gemstones, or any solid object (at least not in a way that will be useful). There are two main types of microscope - compound, and stereo. A compound microscope, like the AmScope B120C-E1, is designed to look at translucent samples - drops of pond water, thin slices of tissue, and so on. Light is shined up through the sample and into the eyepiece, allowing you to see the cells/organisms in the sample. For viewing solid objects, you need a stereo microscope such as the AmScope SE400 (http://www.amazon.com/AmScope-SE400-Z-Widefield-Inspection-Microscope/dp/B005C75IVM). These microscopes are more like magnifying glasses on steroids, and use reflected light to illuminate the top of whatever you're viewing. If you want to examine gems, coins, circuit boards, insects, etc., go with a stereo microscope. Note that a "binocular" microscope just means the 'scope has two eyepieces - it does not imply "stereo" or "compound".

what kind of bacteria can you see with this? can you see DNA/RNA strands ?

see bacteria，but cann't watch DNA/RNA

Will this work on any computer? Like windows 10 for example?

I have got this to work on win vista, win 7, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Linux mint, and Androidx86.

can this unit be used without the usb digital camera imager?

Yes, it is a normal microscope. The USB digital camera is optional and is placed in place of one of the standard eyepieces. This allows you to use the microscope simultaneously for image capture and as an optical monocular microscope, though the focal distance you need may not be the same as what the image capturing unit requires. Keep in mind that the USB camera is very low resolution. You will always see much more detail by eye.
