Advantages of Digital Microscopes
Ultra Sharp Digital Magnification
Microscope technology has rapidly advanced over the years, today’s microscopes can magnify much smaller objects. Digital microscopy camera technology enables you to inspect any object, small or large, in ultra sharp digital magnification. With digital microscopes, lenses and positioning are getting increasingly better. Although, it is not as vivid as 3 dimensional imagery like stereo microscopes offer the 2 dimensional image being projected onto monitors is becoming extremely close with new technology. Accessories like tilt tables and LED lighting help the 2D image become more vivid and 3D.
USB and HDMI Outputs
Digital microscopes take the technology even further with microscope cameras and the integration of USB capabilities. Live snapshots can now be taken and saved to an inserted USB memory stick or the internal storage of the microscope for quick access. Saving an image to internal storage makes it easy to access for later inspection or to share the inspection images with others not in the lab or office.
Ergonomically Designed for Ease of Use
Working with digital microscopes can reduce overall inspection time. With the image being projected onto a monitor there is no more neck or eye strain from bending down and looking through the binocular lenses, this gives ease to long term usage. Having the image be magnified on a screen also allows for multiple viewers at the same time which betters collaboration and teaching techniques.
Versatile Accessories
Most digital microscopes come with a variety of accessories to better each inspection by project. Accessories can range from different attachable mounts to creating a variety of angles and working distance with different table pieces as well as, LED lighting accessories to minimize shadows and hidden elements to different tables for placement below the microscope to help focusing and catching the object at different views.
