Illuminate your sample from above, below, or both—these microscopes have an upper and lower light that you can turn on together or separately. They’re safe to use where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern.

Use with both objective lenses and eyepieces to increase magnification up to 225X.

Microscope illuminators give 360° of additional shadow-free light.

View images and video of extra-small details right from your manufacturing floor without needing an outlet nearby. Great for collaboration, the monitor on these microscopes is big enough for multiple people to see. For larger groups, connect an additional monitor with an HDMI cord (not included) to show what’s under the lens on two screens at once. To save what you’re seeing for later, you can store high-resolution photos and video on the microSD card or transfer it directly to a computer with a USB cord (not included). Use the included computer software to measure lines, circles, and angles of the item you’re viewing—the software stores your measurements too.

A built-in LED ring light creates ultra-bright, shadow-free light, so you don't need an external light source. The light can also be adjusted to reduce glare on reflective objects.

Switch out the stand these microscopes come with to change how they move or mount. Gooseneck stands bend any which way, making them easier to position than adjustable stands. Adjustable stands work well if you need to pivot your microscope side to side.

Diffusers (sold separately) make the light from the LED ring softer and more even.

Stages (sold separately) move up and down, left to right, and spin 360° to help scan and inspect parts of an object under your microscope. Use the knob to move the stage in smooth, precise movements. The stage is compact, so it’s easy to add to your existing set up and remove it when not in use.

View a live feed of extreme details—from pores in raw materials to connection points on finished parts—right on the screen of these microscopes. These microscopes have an LCD monitor that’s big enough for multiple people to see, making them great for collaboration. For larger groups, connect an additional monitor with an HDMI cord (not included) to show what’s under the lens on two screens at once. With the built-in camera, snap high-resolution photos and record video. These microscopes come with software you can use to measure lines, diameters, and angles of the item you’re viewing on the monitor. Use the included USB flash drive to save photos, videos, and measurements for later or transfer everything to a computer.

A built-in LED ring light creates ultra-bright, shadow-free light, so you don't need an external light source. The light can also be adjusted to reduce glare on reflective objects.

Angle view attachments have a 35° mirror that lets you view items at an angle instead of only from directly above. This is especially useful for circuit boards and other parts with layers. They mount to the microscope lens and can be rotated 360° to change the viewing angle.

Objective lenses increase or reduce the range of magnification. 0.5X lenses decrease the magnification by half to 8.5X to 55X. 2X lenses double the magnification to 34X to 220X.

Switch out the stand for one that lets you glide the microscope across the object you’re inspecting. These optional stands require a mount (sold separately).

Shine 360° of shadow-free light on objects under microscopes to make defects more visible during inspections. The even lighting these illuminators produce reduces glare and creates strong visual contrast between small components, such as parts on circuit boards.

LED illuminators use less energy, produce less heat, and last longer than fluorescent illuminators. Ultraviolet LED illuminators expose defects such as cracks and holes in parts when used with fluorescent dye or powder. They’re often used for leak detection and quality control testing.

ESD-safe illuminators have a coating that dissipates static electricity, preventing damage if they make contact with sensitive components during inspections.

Illuminators and replacement bulbs that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by local regulatory limits on mercury content.

Retrofit your traditional microscope to view a live feed of extra-fine details. These cameras replace one of the eyepieces on your microscope. Connect them to a computer so multiple people can see crisp, clear images of what’s under your microscope. Colors appear true to life thanks to a high-resolution sensor. Use the included software to take photos and videos. The software also includes tools for measuring the item you’re viewing.

Inspect the finest of details with the smallest of microscopes. While slim and less than six inches long, these microscopes have maximum magnification levels of 200X and above. Connect them to a computer with a USB cord to watch live footage and record photos and videos with the included software. All have a built-in light for clear, shadow-free inspections.

Microscopes that are both handheld and benchtop capable are versatile. When hand-held, you can move them around freely and point them at objects too fragile or heavy to move. When used on a benchtop with the included stand, you can capture clear images at high magnifications.

900X magnification microscopes reveal details as minuscule as those on hairs, fibers, and crystals. They should only be used on the included stand.

Microscopes with a dimmer adjust the brightness of the light and reduce the glare on reflective surfaces.

Microscopes with a measurement function determine the size of lines, circles, and angles and store the data on your computer.

Catch defects you’d otherwise miss by switching between UV light and white light. The UV LEDs on these microscopes illuminate fluorescent dyes, particles, and chemicals, making leaks and cracks easy to spot. The white LEDs mimic natural daylight for clear, shadow-free inspections of fine details. If you’re working with reflective surfaces, adjust the brightness of the white light to reduce glare. An alternative to borescopes, they're often squeezed into dark, tight spaces. While slim and roughly 4” long, these microscopes can make objects appear up to 220 times larger.

Connect them to a computer to watch a live feed of your inspection and record photos and videos with the included software. The software also lets you measure the object you’re viewing.

Take the powerful magnification of a standard microscope on the go—these microscopes fit in your pocket. To help you see fine details, they come with a bright LED light that illuminates the surface you’re inspecting.

Microscopes with an adjustable focus let you change their magnification, so you can use one tool for different jobs. The lower the magnification, the larger your field of view; the higher the magnification, the smaller the details you’ll be able to see.

Microscopes with a fixed focus have an internal scale on the eyepiece to precisely measure items up to 4 mm long.

Magnify items and capture images for quality control and material inspection. View live on the built-in display. Use the included USB cord, HDMI cable, or TV Out cable to connect to a computer or television. Magnifier has adjustable LED lights to brighten the magnified area.

By projecting a magnified shadow or image of your part onto a screen, these optical comparators give you an easy way to measure and inspect its precise features. They work similarly to overhead projectors, but with fixed magnification to preserve proportions. Because of how easy they are to set up and use, they’re a staple in most machine shops. They shine light from above, so they’re best for inspecting flat parts, such as gaskets and O-rings. Unlike traditional optical comparators, these comparators are compact to fit easily on a benchtop.

To use these comparators, choose profile or surface lighting. Profile lighting creates a shadow of your part, which you can use to plot points for precise measurements. To plot each point, move the stage the part rests on until the point lines up with the crosshair on the projector screen. For precision, the stage moves in increments thinner than a sheet of paper. Surface lighting makes these comparators work like an illuminated magnifier, blanketing the part with even light to reveal scratches, dents, and other surface flaws.

Save the measurements you’ve gathered for later by exporting the data as a text file using an RS-232 cord (not included).

Optical comparators with edge detection increase accuracy and efficiency by reducing human error. No need to identify each edge yourself with the crosshair—these comparators register whether they are passing over your object's shadow or a gap, such as a hole or cutout. The graphic display screen shows a visual representation of the part you’re measuring, making it easy to identify and measure specific features. To make sure each part is inspected the same way, create a program that guides anyone using the comparator on what steps to follow.

Holders, swivel center supports, and V-blocks securely hold your part as you measure. V-blocks hold round parts.

If you need to inspect your part from different angles, use either a swivel center support or a rotary table. Swivel center supports turn around a horizontal axis, moving your part in a circle like a Ferris wheel. Rotary tables spin around a vertical axis, rotating your part just like a carousel.

Scales and charts are clear, so you can lay them on top of your comparator’s projector screen. Scales give you a way to check your comparator’s magnification and length measurements. Charts are for checking angle measurements.

Filters are blue to increase contrast and reduce glare on your comparator’s projector screen.

Measure and inspect precise features by projecting a magnified shadow or image of your part onto a screen. These optical comparators work similarly to overhead projectors, but with fixed magnification to preserve proportions. Because of how easy they are to set up and use, they’re a staple in most machine shops. From o-rings to castings, they work to inspect parts with simple or complex geometries. They shine light from the side, so unlike vertical comparators, your part can be held from underneath for stability. Unlike traditional optical comparators, these comparators are compact to fit easily on a benchtop.

To use these comparators, choose profile or surface lighting. Profile lighting creates a shadow of your part, which you can use to plot points for precise measurements. To plot each point, move the stage the parts rests on until the point lines up with the crosshair on the projector screen. For precision, the stage moves in increments thinner than a sheet of paper. Surface lighting makes these comparators work like an illuminated magnifier, blanketing the part with even light to reveal scratches, dents, and other surface flaws.

These comparators come with a variety of features to streamline your inspection process. For a quick way to compare manufactured parts to designs, set desired dimension and tolerance limits. You can also create a program that guides anyone using the comparator on what steps to follow, so each part is inspected the same way. To save everything for later, print the data or export it as a spreadsheet or text file to a computer with a USB or RS-232 connection.

Changing the magnification is as easy as twisting the current lens until it pops out and twisting in a new lens (sold separately).

Optical comparators with edge detection increase accuracy and efficiency by reducing human error. No need to identify each edge yourself with the crosshair—these comparators register whether they are passing over your object's shadow or a gap, such as a hole or cutout.

Rotary vises (sold separately) give you a secure way to hold up and rotate objects.

Cabinets (sold separately) can serve as a stand for your comparator and as storage for lenses and other accessories.

Though not as bright as our miniature fiber-optic lights, these lights have built-in LEDs that last longer, are more efficient, and are more affordable. Use them to illuminate small and microscopic parts. They have a daylight appearance that highlights white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting.

Create a high-intensity lighting system for inspecting small and microscopic parts. To create a complete lighting system, you need a fiber-optic light, fiber-optic cable, and an adapter to connect the cable to the light. They cast a neutral white light often found in workspaces.

Add a probe to 1/8" dia. fiber-optic cables to illuminate small areas that have recessed or deep orifices.

Pair a focusing lens with a positionable cable to create a concentrated beam of light on your work.

Hold up to 90 1” × 3” slides at an angle or transport them around the lab.
