This USB digital microscope features a 5.0 megapixel sensor with adjustable optical magnification from 20× to 220×, making it ideal for PCB inspection, SMT soldering work, and examining fine details on electronic components. Eight adjustable white LEDs provide even illumination with a smooth brightness dial on the side.
It connects to any computer as a standard USB camera — no special drivers needed. The included Windows/Mac software lets you capture snapshots via the button on the microscope or directly from the software to avoid disturbing the camera position. Two removable plastic caps are included for close-up work and a wider focusing range.
