I still remember when, as a child, I got a microscope as a present and I loved it. For days I was running around the house finding things to look at until one day I stumbled upon what I thought was my greatest find – a dead spider. I carefully popped it under the microscope and set the focus until its head came into view and I’ve never been able to get near a spider again. I’m still traumatised.
Thanks to this USB Digital Microscope you too can zoom in on little beasties to a total magnification of 200X and, if you feel so inclined, thanks to this being a USB device, you can not only capture still imagery of your subjects but you can even take movies at 30 fps.
Great for hobbyists such as modelers and jewelers, as well as educating children, the USB Digital Microscope retails for $179.99 from Thinkgeek.
