USB Microscope with 2GB Online Storage
Remember last year’s USB Pen Microscope? A new model has now been released, featuring a resolution of up to 1600×1200, compared to the original 640×480.
Plug it in and it brings an image up on your computer screen of whatever the slick looking microscope is pointing at - you won’t even have to strain your neck peering into a dusty eyepiece, it’s all there on your monitor in full colour and with up to 200x magnification.
As if this wasn’t enough, the manufacturers have also included a program that gives you up to 2GB of online space, so that you can share your scary close-up photos and access them on any computer. It’s a window into a whole new world.

[...] We’ve seen digital microscopes before, but few can claim that they have a 1600×1200 sensor, 200x magnification and 2 GB of free online storage. This £50 device works improves upon last year’s 640×480 Microscope Pen from the same company, and lets you take stills or AVI movies.. And the test pics from the microscope don’t look half bad (if they’re actually real). The USB microscope can be found over at [IWOOT via Geek Alerts]. [...]

Thanks Bob, but I don’t think that’s the same USB microscope. It has a lower resolution and it doesn’t say anything about the 2GB online storage.

Maybe this could be a great gift for anybody that makes presentations. If it can Zoom out far enough to show a full size sheet of paper (8.5″ x 11″) AND the person has a computer AND the person uses a projector and the computer in his or her presentations.
For teachers who have LCD projectors and a computer connected to the projector, but who can’t get ahold of a document camera or document reader for showing student work to the whole class in “real time”, this COULD be an option…IF, like I said, it can zoom OUT far enough.
What about zooming OUT capabilities? I currently have an ELMO (Brand Name) document camera (or document reader?). It does have a “microscope” function which I used to show students the head of a live praying mantis. It was like watching National Geographic! Yet I can also zoom out far enough to take a picture of something at least 15 feet away…
The ELMO is more expensive than this gadget here, but the version I have does not take video, only still pics.

Yes SC, that sounds exactly like one of those moments where a USB microscope like this would come in handy.
Thanks for your comment!
