A digital microscope is real 21st century advancement on microscope technology. It comes with software for your computer that allows you to see real-time images on your monitor of what you're observing with the microscope. Take a step into the modern age by learning how to use a digital microscope.With the advent of computers and the digital era things have improved a lot. You can now buy a handheld digital microscope from the market at affordable prices which will plug straight into the USB port of almost any computer, and displays and records the image in real-time. A digital microscope still uses optics much the same way as a traditional microscope, but also has a built-in digital camera, which works just like a webcam but with magnification. The software that comes with these cameras will let you take still or video pictures while magnifying the image by 200 times or more. You can then use your regular image software to manipulate and use the picture in many ways.
Although these digital microscopes are obviously great in a science classroom environment where a teacher can present and discuss a rapid sequence of images, don't neglect their home use. Digital microscopes offer an amazing insight into the world around us from a rarely seen perspective.
Digital microscopes were brought to a new level of excellence with the introduction of Olympus' MIC-D. The MIC-D uses a USB connection to the computer for live, full-color images to be displayed on a monitor screen. The design of the MIC-D is inverted, which means that the lens is tilted up at the stage instead of positioned down at the specimen. This feature allows large objects and dishes of water to be magnified with amazing clarity. A further innovation of the MIC-D's design is that it uses one master lens instead of a series of fixed lenses.
