Portable Digital Microscope

ViTiny

— June 18, 2008 — Tech
ViTiny is a digital microscope that scientific geeks might love. It is a tiny digital microscope that fits in the palm of your hand and can be brought anywhere since it can also fit in your pocket.

ViTiny has a lot of features that make it more user-friendly than the traditional microscopes. The traditional microscope is very expensive, difficult to use and most specially, not portable. Not one of these attributes describes the ViTiny microscope.

ViTiny, being digital has the ability to capture the images you are inspecting. Using ViTiny's 24-90x zoom, you can take a picture of the object you are viewing.

Another good thing about this is that you no longer have to put the object you wish to view on a slide beneath the lens of the microscope. All you have to do is put the ViTiny over the object.

To be able to study the object more, the images you have in the digital microscope can be transferred to your computer via USB cable.

ViTiny comes in multople magnification options, randing from 5x to 24x optical, which enables 20x-48x of digital magnification.
