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.

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.
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.
