A New USB Microscope for Endless Desktop Fun

Among many other things, one is 100% sure: microscopes are fun. Seeing into the very heart of objects gives people a new perspective upon the materials they use everyday, from money to clothes, food and so much more; by letting us get dramatically close to the very nature of the things surrounding us in our everyday lives, microscopes have always been coveted gadgets, pretty much like telescopes. And since the modern days we're living in are everything about technology and making technology easily accessible to as many people as possible, here we are, introducing a new toy for the scientist in you, the USB microscope.

Far from being that highly sophisticated professional-grade tool you were maybe thinking of, this USB microscope is yet powerful enough to let you get at the heart of things and discover so much more than meets the eye.

You definitely have a computer and a table at hand at home and there you can excel in your observations; whether you hold this microscope in your hand, pretty much like a pen or you use it with the smart and versatile stand, it's your decision.

All you have to do is plug it in your computer, install the software and then start exploring. The manual zoom of the microscope can be set anywhere between 20x and 200x, and you'll even get LED lighting for the best observation of your subjects. Even more, the specialized software supplied with this piece of gadgetry will provide you with an array of choices in terms of visual experience: you can take innumerable photos and make interesting science home movies.

Equally suitable for students, collectors, science freaks and for all those who are into this kind of experimental fun, the USB microscope can also be used for examining jewelry, documents, coins and, well, pretty much anything that could ever need examination. And for the price of just $81, it's possible that you buy not one but two: one for the intended present and one for you, to use in the darkest corner of your evil-scientist basement.
