    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.
    Adjustable Focus—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.
    Fixed Focus—Microscopes with a fixed focus have an internal scale on the eyepiece to precisely measure items up to 4 mm long.

    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.
    Handheld and Bench Top—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.
    700X to 900X Magnification Range—900X magnification microscopes reveal details as minuscule as those on hairs, fibers, and crystals. They should only be used on the included stand.
    Dimmer—Microscopes with a dimmer adjust the brightness of the light and reduce the glare on reflective surfaces.
    Measurement Function—Microscopes with a measurement function determine the size of lines, circles, and angles and store the data on your computer.

    Style A

    Style B

    Though not as bright as our miniature fiber-optic lights, these lights are more affordable. With flexible arms, you can adjust these lights to direct light where you need it, even in hard-to-reach spots. Use them to illuminate small and microscopic parts.
    Style A—Style A have a magnetic tray at the base to keep small components secure during assembly and repair work. For added stability when frequently adjusting the arms, use the included clamp-on bracket to mount on surfaces up to 2 ¾" thick.
    Style B—Style B have an iron housing and glass lens for increased durability. Use the sliding control to dim the brightness.

    Benchtop Microscopes with Digital Imaging

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Microscopes. Benchtop Microscopes with Digital Imaging.
    Don’t strain your eyes and neck bending over your microscope—these microscopes display a magnified image on a computer screen and take high-resolution photos. Just connect the microscope to your PC with a USB cable (not included). Because you can view on a screen, multiple people can see what’s under the microscope at the same time. They include the traditional 10X magnifying eyepiece and a 6-megapixel camera that zooms in to a variety of magnifications.
    With hands-free viewing, you’re able to inspect details, record observations, and modify the object you’re observing. Use the included software to measure lines, circles, and angles of the item you’re viewing—the software stores your measurements too. A built-in LED ring light creates ultra-bright, shadow-free light, so you don't need an external light source. The light can also be adjusted to reduce glare on reflective objects.

    Compact UV and White Light Video Microscopes

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Microscopes. 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.

    Benchtop Auto-Focus Video Microscopes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Microscopes. Benchtop Auto-Focus Video Microscopes.
    Save time inspecting parts from different angles—every time you move the part, these microscopes automatically adjust so the image is clear. No fiddling with a lens focus knob. They're especially useful for inspecting one object after another to compare quality. The wide magnification range is great for viewing all kinds of details, from tiny fibers and flecks of dust to cracks and other larger surface flaws. A built-in LED ring light creates ultra-bright, shadow-free light, so you don't need an external light source. Adjust the light to reduce glare on reflective objects.
    Connect these microscopes to a monitor with the included HDMI cord to watch a live feed of your inspection. This setup makes it easy for multiple people to see what’s under the microscope.
    microSD Card Connection—Microscopes with a microSD card connection come with software for taking high-resolution photos and videos on a PC. This software also has tools for measuring the object you’re viewing. Store photos, videos, and measurements in the software or on the microSD card.
