Remember being eight-years-old and zooming in on an ant or a piece of dandruff on that plastic microscope that you received for your birthday? Well now you can relive those days of questioning and experimentation with the USB Microscope, which is the perfect device to wile away the hours at work.
This nifty USB gadget allows you zoom in (from 20x to 200x) on any object you happen to have on hand. It also comes with software allowing you to be a real boffin and record your findings as photos and videos onto your PC.
To use, just plug the USB connection into your PC and start examining just how gross your keyboard really is – no science degree required!
The USB Microscope is versatile enough to be held like a pen or can be fixed to a little desktop stand. It even features an internal white LED to illuminate objects to the max.
This gadget is really a sophisticated bit of sciencery and would come in handy for students, collectors, the generally inquisitive or those with a hangnail that they just can’t stop inspecting.
For some examples of just how good this gadget is, check out some tests that the guys over at Firebox did.
RRP: £49.95
This is a great idea! Normal microscopes are too bulky and once you look at something close-up, the fun kinda ends. I like the idea of saving images to your PC.
Nice find.
I would like to see whats crawling around on my work desk. I bet there is a whole ecosystem on here haha.
Nice!!!
