Benchtop Microscopes

Illuminate your sample from above, below, or both—these microscopes have an upper and lower light that you can turn on together or separately. They’re safe to use where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern.
Use with both objective lenses and eyepieces to increase magnification up to 225X.
Microscope illuminators give 360° of additional shadow-free light.

Microscope Illuminators

Shine 360° of shadow-free light on objects under microscopes to make defects more visible during inspections. The even lighting these illuminators produce reduces glare and creates strong visual contrast between small components, such as parts on circuit boards.
LED illuminators use less energy, produce less heat, and last longer than fluorescent illuminators. Ultraviolet LED illuminators expose defects such as cracks and holes in parts when used with fluorescent dye or powder. They’re often used for leak detection and quality control testing.
ESD-safe illuminators have a coating that dissipates static electricity, preventing damage if they make contact with sensitive components during inspections.
Illuminators and replacement bulbs that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by local regulatory limits on mercury content.

Compact Illuminated Video Microscopes


Inspect the finest of details with the smallest of microscopes. While slim and less than six inches long, these microscopes have maximum magnification levels of 200X and above. Connect them to a computer with a USB cord to watch live footage and record photos and videos with the included software. All have a built-in light for clear, shadow-free inspections.
Microscopes that are both handheld and benchtop capable are versatile. When hand-held, you can move them around freely and point them at objects too fragile or heavy to move. When used on a benchtop with the included stand, you can capture clear images at high magnifications.
900X magnification microscopes reveal details as minuscule as those on hairs, fibers, and crystals. They should only be used on the included stand.
Microscopes with a dimmer adjust the brightness of the light and reduce the glare on reflective surfaces.
Microscopes with a measurement function determine the size of lines, circles, and angles and store the data on your computer.

Compact UV and White Light Video Microscopes

Catch defects you’d otherwise miss by switching between UV light and white light. The UV LEDs on these microscopes illuminate fluorescent dyes, particles, and chemicals, making leaks and cracks easy to spot. The white LEDs mimic natural daylight for clear, shadow-free inspections of fine details. If you’re working with reflective surfaces, adjust the brightness of the white light to reduce glare. An alternative to borescopes, they're often squeezed into dark, tight spaces. While slim and roughly 4” long, these microscopes can make objects appear up to 220 times larger.
Connect them to a computer to watch a live feed of your inspection and record photos and videos with the included software. The software also lets you measure the object you’re viewing.

Compact Illuminated Microscopes



Take the powerful magnification of a standard microscope on the go—these microscopes fit in your pocket. To help you see fine details, they come with a bright LED light that illuminates the surface you’re inspecting.
Microscopes with an adjustable focus let you change their magnification, so you can use one tool for different jobs. The lower the magnification, the larger your field of view; the higher the magnification, the smaller the details you’ll be able to see.
Microscopes with a fixed focus have an internal scale on the eyepiece to precisely measure items up to 4 mm long.

Miniature LED Adjustable-Arm Lights

Though not as bright as our miniature fiber-optic lights, these lights have built-in LEDs that last longer, are more efficient, and are more affordable. Use them to illuminate small and microscopic parts. They have a daylight appearance that highlights white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting.

Miniature Fiber-Optic Adjustable-Arm Lights

Create a high-intensity lighting system for inspecting small and microscopic parts. To create a complete lighting system, you need a fiber-optic light, fiber-optic cable, and an adapter to connect the cable to the light. They cast a neutral white light often found in workspaces.
Add a probe to 1/8" dia. fiber-optic cables to illuminate small areas that have recessed or deep orifices.
Pair a focusing lens with a positionable cable to create a concentrated beam of light on your work.
