Digital Microscopes

The digital microscope functions as a standard stand-alone microscope, but since it includes a digital camera, it can also be connected to the computer with the included USB cable and becomes a digital video microscope. Once connected, the included microscope software allows the user to view a live image on the computer. Visuals can be captured as still images or motion video, saved and edited. The software can also be used to make measurements.

Digital microscopes that provide light from beneath the stage are best for viewing biological specimens that allow light to pass through them. Digital microscopes with lower magnification are perfect for viewing larger objectives that will not allow light to pass through them such as small metal parts or quality control inspection parts.
