USB Digital Microscope
September 30, 2007 by Truman
This gadget is for the Bill Nye in all of us. This very powerful Digital Microscope zooms up to 200X. That is pretty impressive, and to show you just how powerful this thing is, here is a picture of the name "Jackson" on a $20 bill.
You can even take high quality stills and video of your findings and display and save them on your PC or Mac. Have you ever wanted to see what easter eggs motherboard manufacturers left on their products? Want to study chips? Love biology? This powerful unit is great for all of the above.
Here are some important Specs you'll want to know: - Great for industrial inspection, science education, forensics,
printing, textile, printed circuit board (PCB) inspection, jewelers,
hobbyists, tinkerers, crime scene investigation, medical, serial number
identification, quality control, parts assembly
- Capture high quality images, video and time-lapsed video [sample images]
- Resolution: 640 x 480 pixels for image capture
- Magnification: 20x, 50x, 200x (for AM-311S) and 20x, 50x (for AM-310)
- Built-in LEDs for illumination (8 LEDs for AM-311S) and (4 LEDs for AM-310)
- LED on/off controlled by software (AM-311S only)
- Interface: USB 2.0 (AM-311S only)
- Frame rate: up to 30fps
- Dimension: 10cm (h) x 3.2cm (dia)
- Weight: 0.2 lb (90g)
- Includes: Microscope, Microscope stand, DinoCapture Software (Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Vista, Mac OS9, OSX)
- One year warranty
- Two models are available (AM-311S and AM-310) [see details]
As you can see, there are 2 models. That means there are 2 prices, neither of them cheap. If you choose the cheaper model, you will get less magnification, the USB transfer isn't as fast, and you will lose software LED control. That said, you will save $60. The models cost $140 and $200. If you are into tech or science, this is for you. And the best part is, you can seamlessly transfer results right to your computer, through USB. [Source: Think Geek]
