For users ranging from students to forensics specialists, the Celestron 2MP Digital Microscope Imager provides an easy way to view specimens and capture images to your computer.
Using the included adapter ring, installation is as fast as removing the eyepiece (just one for stereo microscopes) and dropping the imager into the holder. By itself, the imager has a 100x power when viewing on a monitor, and its magnification can be increased by using different objectives on the microscope. For example, a 10x objective would yield a 1000x power while a 4x objective would produce 400x power.
The imager is powered by your computer's USB port via the permanently attached cable. The included software suite for Windows operating systems includes the device driver and control/capture S-Viewer program that features built-in measurement and marker tools so you can measure and make annotations of your specimen. If you're running Mac, the imager can be used as an external camera without the S-Viewer in conjunction with the Photo Booth or Quick Camera apps.
