Information about Digital and Video Microscopes

Digital and video microscopes are instruments that use digital technology to magnify images of objects. They include built-in cameras and a series of high-powered lenses that provide superior image quality and resolution. Some digital and video microscopes require users to view objects through a standard eyepiece. Others provide a computer interface that displays images on a monitor. Image analysis processing software allows adjustments to both linear dimensions and resolution. Total magnification, the ratio of the image size to the actual object, is usually determined by linear measurement. This specification represents the device’s entire magnification range, including both eyepiece magnification and objective magnification.

Products & Services Related to Digital and Video Microscopes

Biological Microscopes

Biological microscopes are used to study organisms and their vital processes.

Electron Microscopes

Electron microscopes use a focused beam of electrons instead of light to "image" the specimen and gain information as to its structure and composition.

Measuring Microscopes

Measuring microscopes are used by toolmakers for measuring the properties of tools. These microscopes are often used for dimensional measurement with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view.

Metallurgical Microscopes

Metallurgical microscopes are used for metallurgical inspection including metals, ceramics, and other materials.

Microscopes, All Types

Microscopes are instruments that produce magnified images of small objects

Optical and Light Microscopes

Optical and light microscopes use the visible or near-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to magnify images of objects.

Specialty Microscopes

Specialty microscopes are designed for specific applications such as metallurgy or gemology. They use specialized techniques or technologies such as acoustics to produce magnification.
