USB Digital 400x Microscope

USB Digital Microscope

Microscopes that hook up to your computer via USB are not new. In fact, on the surface this USB Digital 400x Microscope looks a lot like the USB Microscope and Pen Microscope we’ve covered before. However, the technology is evolving so this model has much better specs, additional features, and costs less money. Although a microscope that can take still pictures and video has a lot of practical applications, it is priced as cheap as a toy and would be a lot of fun just to play around with.

One major improvement of this digital microscope over past models is that, at 400X zoom, this has a much higher degree of magnification. It also generates higher resolution still pictures with resolutions up to 2592 x 1944 pixels (5MP) and better video at 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second. Another major new feature is that this model includes 8 built-in super-bright LED lights. Good lighting is key to much better image quality.

    • A search online shows that 400x magnification would be plenty to see your little swimmers. However, I don’t know if this particular microscope has the resolution and clarity to show them.

      I suspect this microscope will work much better at lower magnification levels such as 10x – 50x, and the higher zoom images might not be as clear and detailed.

  1. Actually pretty good question from martin (still creepy), because of the size of a sperm, you can get an idea from what can it capture. ive got a kids microscope, with which i can see some cells from different plants, but i would like if it could at least to see some bacteria, the cells in my skin, etc.
