Christensen Veho Discovery USB Deluxe Microscope (400x Magnif

Product Description

Your world around you becomes infinitely more interesting, well at least 400 times more interesting, when viewed on screen through a hi-quality 400x Magnification USB (powered) Microscope. The Microscope comes with all the software drivers and USB lead so you can get cracking as soon as the box is opened. Full instructions are also included.

Science is officially cool again - the television told us, so it must be true and these USB Microscopes might just be the coolest geek gadgets we've had land on our desk. They're really easy to install and even easier to use. Plug them in and the nifty viewing software brings the image up on your computer screen - you won't even have to strain your neck peering into a dusty eyepiece.

The original USB Microscope x200 has a fully adjustable stand, a 1.3 megapixel lens and has a magnification of up to x200. The new and improved USB Deluxe Microscope also has a but the lens has been upgraded to 2.0 megapixels with magnification of up to x400. I don't think we have to tell you how freaky the back of your hand looks that close up - but you're going to have an excellent time finding out.

You'll soon be looking at everything underneath them (we strongly recommend you start with a five pound note - the detail is amazing!) and you can take digital stills or movies using the software provided. The last time most of us saw a microscope was a long time ago in a science class far, far away but these stylish designs are a long way off from those lumbering things so it won't take up half your desk. You needn't just use these microscopes for fun - the level of detail they bring makes them an essential tool for any aspiring model maker, electronics engineer and would be jeweller.
