Microscope World is proud to offer the Ken-A-Vision Kena T-1050 digital microscope. With 20x, 40x and 100x magnification, this microscope offers both low and high magnification for a range of uses. The top LED light can be used to shine light down on specimens and the bottom LED light will help illuminate slides at higher magnifications.

The Kena can be removed from the stand for handheld macro image capturing. Simply capture images by pressing the button on top of the camera. This feature makes field work easy. The Kena digital microscope runs on the power from the USB cable and 4 AA batteries operate the bottom LED light.

The Kena microscope won the 2009 IDEA Design Award for International Design Excellence. The IDEA competition is a celebration of the most innovative and exciting product and product concept designs of the year and one of the world's most prestigious design competitions.

USB Microscopes

Digital microscopes, also known as USB microscopes allow you to connect the microscope directly to your computer. The microscope comes with software that when open, allows you to view a live image from the microscope directly on your computer.

USB microscopes allow you to gather multiple students around the computer to see an image, rather than taking turns to view a single image through the microscope eyepiece.

The software included with digital microscopes allows you to capture and save both still images and motion video. You can print images, email them, or put them into a presentation.

The Digital BA210 laboratory microscope is commonly found in Universities.

Digital USB microscopes are made for kids as well. This kids microscope is the DS-2 microscope. Low magnification of 20x and 40x is perfect for viewing rocks, coins, flowers or details on a toy car.

Digital LCD Microscope

The Swift M10LB digital microscope is a great microscope for teaching or just ease of use. The microscope has a built-in 5 mega pixel camera. The 3" digital LCD screen shows a live image from the microscope. The press of a button allows you to capture and save this image. Downloading images is easy as well, just remove the memory card from the microscope and take it with you, or download to your computer.

The Swift M10 microscope is perfect for veterinarians, teachers and students.

Digital Stereo Microscope

The National Optical DC4-456H digital stereo microscope is great for viewing anything you might be able to hold in your hand, but wish to see in more detail. Coins, stamps and flowers are perfect examples. This microscope connects directly to the USB port on the computer and allows you to view a live image on your computer screen. You can capture and save images as well as motion video with this digital microscope.

Spider Under Microscope

This spider image was captured using the National Optical DM52 student microscope at 40x magnification.

The DM52 digital student microscope allows you to connect the microscope directly to your computer, view a live image on your computer monitor and capture and save images. The included software will even allow you to make measurements of the images captured. Students can create their own computer photo album with all the scientific specimens they collect over time.

Biological Microscopes

Biological microscopes are used in schools, hospitals, laboratories, and for hobby. Digital biological microscopes have a camera built in to the microscope. Most digital microscopes connect directly through the USB port to the computer and will allow you to view a live image on the computer screen. You can then capture and save both still images and motion video. These images were captured with the National Optical DC5-163 digital biological microscope.

Coins and Microscopes

Coin collecting is a hobby that is enhanced with the use of a coin microscope. Being able to identify details or defects in a coin becomes much easier with a microscope. Keep in mind that as you increase your magnification, your field of view will become smaller. In other words, at higher magnification you will not be able to view the entire coin through the eyepieces.

There is a large spectrum of microscopes available for coin collectors. They range from basic single magnification microscopes, to more advanced zoom stereo microscopes. Digital microscopes have a camera built in and allow you to view the coin on your computer screen as well as capture and save images.

Images were captured with the DS2 digital student microscope,
20x magnification.

When viewing coins a magnification of 10x - 30x is usually ideal.
