    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.

    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.

    Portable Benchtop Video Microscopes with Built-In Monitor

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Microscopes. Portable Benchtop Video Microscopes with Built-In Monitor.
    View images and video of extra-small details right from your manufacturing floor without needing an outlet nearby. Great for collaboration, the monitor on these microscopes is big enough for multiple people to see. For larger groups, connect an additional monitor with an HDMI cord (not included) to show what’s under the lens on two screens at once. To save what you’re seeing for later, you can store high-resolution photos and video on the microSD card or transfer it directly to a computer with a USB cord (not included). Use the included computer 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.

    Benchtop Video Microscopes with Built-In Monitor

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Microscopes. Benchtop Video Microscopes with Built-In Monitor.
    View a live feed of extreme details—from pores in raw materials to connection points on finished parts—right on the screen of these microscopes. These microscopes have an LCD monitor that’s big enough for multiple people to see, making them great for collaboration. For larger groups, connect an additional monitor with an HDMI cord (not included) to show what’s under the lens on two screens at once. With the built-in camera, snap high-resolution photos and record video. These microscopes come with software you can use to measure lines, diameters, and angles of the item you’re viewing on the monitor. Use the included USB flash drive to save photos, videos, and measurements for later or transfer everything to a computer.
    An LED ring light creates ultra-bright, shadow-free light, so you don't need an external light source. Each quadrant of the light is adjustable to help optimize brightness. The light also attaches magnetically for quick removal.

    Included)

    Finding your Brinell hardness doesn’t have to be so hard—these scopes scan and measure indents, then calculate the hardness for you. Accurate and efficient, these scopes replace the need for bulky microscopes and manually measuring and calculating hardness. Connect these scopes to your computer and use the included software to see a live image of the indent on your screen. You can zoom in 4X and adjust the focus to capture a wide range of indent diameters. To fine tune the automatic measurement, simply drag your cursor. Use the software to set test parameters, convert the value to other hardness scales, and validate the test results. The software also marks any measurements that fall out of your set specifications. When you’re finished, you can generate a customizable Microsoft Word or Excel report for your records.
