Advanced Portable Microscopes

The 'Skop' Microscope Takes Up-Close Looks at Things Anywhere

The microscope is traditionally reserved for use within the lab or in a home, but the 'Skop' microscope changes this with a design that enables it to be brought just about anywhere you want. Designed by Julian Sommer, the microscope is capable of being used indoors or out and features an LED light ring that offers powerful illumination that can be customized to suit the item that you're looking at.

The digital 'Skop' microscope boasts a built-in APS-C Sensor that lets you take photos of the items that you're taking at up-close look at tot share with friends or attach to your lab reports. The device connects to your smartphone to act as a viewfinder and offer advanced control capabilities.
