This is a perfect microscope with a 640x480 pixel USB digital camera for students to learn science. There are five magnification settings, 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X and 1000X. It comes with full glass optical elements, metal framework, 45 degree inclined 360 degree rotating monocular head, LED illumination system and a 640x480 pixel detachable digital camera. The LED illumination system uses either an outlet (adapter included) or three AA batteries.

The digital camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. The included software for Windows offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. On Mac computers, the camera can be used as a driverless imaging device, compatible with various applications, such as ProScope and Photo Booth.

A set of 6 experiment cards with over 14 exciting activities are included in this kit. From understanding the different parts and functions of a microscope to preparing slides – these experiment cards blend numerous lab activities with real science experiments in a fun-filled way. Most of our experiments only require very simple materials and ingredients that you most likely already have around the house.
