New 200X usb digital metalwork pc microscope & flex arm
Demo Videos: Click the "play" icon button in the center of the pictures below to take a look. Due to video compression, quality has been reduced to fit the file on the Internet):
Some of the images in this listing have not been cropped or manipulated but are of actual "raw" unedited images to show actual results from the microscope. You can obtain even better results "post-production" if you edit and manipulate your image to suit your needs.
Start taking images like these (this is a Cubic Zirconia ring)...
The image above and the image below were taken just minutes after installing the camera and the included easy-to-use software CD (notice the depth of field)...
The microscope is in the shape of a handheld pen with a focus dial at the fingertip, which takes a little bit of force to move so as to not change the focus too dramatically at once. It feels like a big marker..
Images are easily seen on your computer (big screens are even better, of course) instead of through an uncomfortable rubber eyepiece...
When you have your subject in focus, just click your mouse to capture a photo or even record video (select the "Video" tab in the software instead of the "Picture" tab). No more memory cards to put in and take out. It connects to your computer with a USB cable. Your images are instantly placed on your computer, requiring fewer steps and less time than camera connections.
You can even add a helpful caption to your photo to keep your work organized. Some small font text is seen at the top left of this photo with a time and date stamp at the bottom left as well...
Here are some photos of the microscope in action. Notice the LED lights...
The listing price is for one microscope, a small black cradle to store the microscope upright, a Satin Nickel Finish Articulating Flex Arm Stand, and a video/image capture software program CD all in one combined bundle. If you shop around and try to find a similar video/image capture program it would cost $40 to $50, and wouldn't have all of our program s unique features.
Here are some more examples of what we captured within minutes of installing the microscope for the first time (the two photos shown below). Even better results can be achieved by using diffuse translucent light. Natural light is best but photo studio lights with diffusers can work great. You can also adjust the exposure settings, manual color balance and brightness controls, etc. But these images were taken starting out with an automatic setting without using diffuse lighting, etc.
You can see tiny inclusions and flaws on your PC monitor and save them as a photo.
Coin Collectors: Below are some photos of two different silver half dollars that are NGC certified (slabbed). The Kennedy Half Dollar is PF 70 Ultra Cameo and the Franklin is PF 67. Proofs, being mirror-like, reflect a lot of light. Diffused light is best but wasn't used on these quick shots. The microscope is a nice tool, especially if you want to talk about coins to a group and display the image on a computer projector screen so everyone can see what you're talking about. Small details can be looked at for a long period of time instead of straining over a traditional microscope or trying to look through a cumbersome loupe.
These half dollars are seen through NGC plastic holder windows. Unfortunately, if your slabs have scratches on the windows they might show up in your photos.
Take close-up photos, and even videos, of your precious coins, stamps, jewelry, metalwork, gemstones, biology, bank notes, watch movements, computer repair parts, art and more. The photos below highlight different magnifications, 50X and 200X. Here is a still photograph of a $100 bill...

Technical and Optical Information:
Optical Field of View (the visible area that is viewed with the microscope):
The field of view changes when you change the distance between the nozzle and an object. Notice that when the nozzle is touching the object, you can focus two different ranges.
Please note: the stock photo below features another model but this listing is for a white model.
Distance from object to nozzle = Resulting Field of View:
Nozzle touching object at 211X Magnification = ~0.066 L X 0.049 W (1.67mm X 1.25mm)
Nozzle touching object at 60X Magnification = ~0.23 L X 0.17 W (5.8mm X 4.3mm)
Nozzle 2cm (0.79 ) away from object at 30X Magnification = ~0.4 L X 0.27 W (10mm X 7mm)
Nozzle 5.0cm (2.0 ) away from object at 20X Magnification = 0.7 L X 0.4 W (18mm X 10 mm)
Nozzle 10cm (3.9 ) away from object at 17X Magnification = 0.9 L X 0.6 W (23mm X 15mm)
Nozzle 15cm (5.9 ) away from object at 15X Magnification = 1.5 L X 0.9 W (38mm X 23mm)
Nozzle 20cm (7.9 ) away from object at 10X Magnification = 1.9 L X 1.5 W (48mm X 38mm)
Lighting is extremely important, especially with highly reflective targets like jewelry and coins. Click HERE to take a look at some helpful hints in lighting your target.
