The Video Screen Microscope

This is the microscope that replaces the standard eyepiece with a tablet-sized LCD screen that displays objects at up to 1040X magnification. A built-in 5 MP digital camera captures still images or videos and displays objects on a 7" thin-film transistor LCD at 800 x 480 resolution. The microscope’s three objective lenses (4X, 10X, or 40X) provide optical magnification from 104X-1040X (up to 4160X when used with its 4X digital zoom). Objects can either be illuminated from the top (for solid objects) or from the bottom (for prepared slides) using two separate built-in light sources. A colored filter wheel helps block out wavelengths to make objects clearer. The camera’s built-in 128 MB memory can store up to 120 still shots or up to 40 minutes of video at 1600 x 1200 resolution; an SD card slot allows for memory expansion up to 32 GB. A USB port (cable included) allows you to download content to your computer; works with Windows 8 and 7 (32- and 64-bit versions). Plugs into AC. 14 1/2" H x 7 1/2" W x 6 3/4" D. (3 1/2 lbs.)
