USB Digital Microscope
Our eyes are amazing things and part of our everyday life that we take for granted, but what would it be like to get 200 times closer to almost anything…in a word “Interesting”.

This USB Digital Microscope will allow you to get much closer to objects and capture some amazing images and videos; you can then display these on your computer via the lovely USB connection.

The things you can zoom into with this USB gadget are endless and limited only by what you can think of, examples of items to zoom in up to 200x include objects on your desk, in your backyard or house, mold growing in places you do not want to know about, traces on your motherboard, micro-printing on money and much more.

For fun you can also manipulate images with drawing and painting tools once images are on your PC.
