Plugable USB Inverted Optical Microscope with 800x Magnification

Explore the Microscopic World Around You Great for kids, hobbyists, and professionals, the Plugable USB2-MICRO-800X Digital Microscope allows you to work quickly and effectively at the microscopic level. Common uses include classroom exploration, observing plant and animal cells, fiber analysis, and surface inspection. The included accessory kit provides everything you need to get started. The companion software available on our website for Windows and macOS allows you to control aspects of the camera functionality directly from your computer. Capture resolution and exposure can be changed with a few clicks, and video or time-lapse modes allow for continuous observation of a subject.

Multiple Viewing Options Unlike a standard compound microscope that can only view thin slides, this inverted microscope design can also accomodate larger subjects like metallurgical samples and petri dish cultures. Placing microscopic objects in just the right spot can be difficult, but the postion adjustment knobs make it easy to set the stage for seeing small things in a big way. Illuminate Your Subject The microscope includes built-in LEDs above and below the stage that can be set to a range of brightness levels to properly illuminate your subject. Flip the switch left or right to quickly adjust the brightness level, or press it in to toggle between the top and bottom LEDs.

Transmit light through translucent samples using the top LED with single lens condenser, or reflect light off opaque subjects with the bottom LEDs. With this versatility, no discoveries are left in the dark. Bringing Things Into Focus The focus adjustment knobs on either side of the microscope provide precise control over the position of the focal point, allowing a clear view of the individual layers of a sample. No Host Device Neccessary Simply extend the built-in 800x optical eyepiece to view samples without the need for software. Installing 3 AA batteries (not included) allows you to unplug the detachable USB cable and leave your computer behind.
