Product Summary
The versatile USB Camera Microscope is ideal for a variety of applications in the science classroom. Its dual functionality means it can take pictures just like a digital camera, but it can also magnify like a microscope when it’s up close to a specimen. It is especially useful for studying topics such as crystalline structures. You can also use it to capture lab setups, such as what materials look like before and after an experiment has been performed.
