I'm a microscopy buff and business owner sharing news about a new product from my company in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA):

High-resolution magnification and image capture are available in a compact Mighty Scope that incorporates technology advances.

The hand-held precision magnifier with a USB interface has several features to provide maximum precision, sensitivity and convenience:

• Focus range is fully adjustable to any magnification from 10 times to 200 times, unlike models that limit users to fixed settings or limited ranges. Think of it as a mini-camera that zooms.
• Brightness control wheel allows fingertip adjustments of illumination from six white LEDs to suit varied interior or exterior environments -- another design improvement.
• Active pixel sensors provide sharp images and accurate color reproduction.
• Images, interval shots or video are captured instantly by a 1.3-megapixel camera with a color CMOS sensor and Microsoft-compatible software on digital models.
• A Microtouch shutter button eliminates the need to tap a computer key, whether it's held or mounted on an optional stand.
• Ergonomic design allos comfortable use with either hand.

Three digital models include one with 500-times magnification and one with six ultraviolet lights operating at 405 nm. An analog model also is available.

Customers have told us this is an extremely useful tool for parts inspection and precision testing. Manufacturing engineers use it to check incoming deliveries of metal part for cracks or other microscopic defects, simply by plugging it into a laptop.

The hand-held scope, which includes a measurement tool, also simplifies color inspection by printers and textile manufacturers, as well as quality assurance checks of large parts because of its infinite working distance.

It's useful for science labs, dermatology offices, classrooms, crime labs, electronic assembly or repair, printed circuit board inspection and other quality control checks. It’s equally practical for jewelers, hobbyists and appraisers of small items.

In educational settings, research scholars or students can readily obtain custom-enlarged images to email or insert in documents.

We’re proud to add our first hand-held microscope to an extensive line of optical inspection and measurement tools. You can learn more at Aven, Inc. - Tools for Optical Inspection and Precision Assembly
