What is a Digital Microscope Camera? 

A digital microscope is simply a microscope that uses a digital camera in place of an eyepiece and connects to a computer monitor showing the results in real time. 

How Does a Digital Microscope Camera or USB Microscope Camera Work? 

Digital Microscope cameras and USB microscope cameras use optics and a compact digital camera to show larger views of specimens on your monitor and are able to capture images. Both come with software to use for performing advanced tasks such as recording video, adjusting images, editing video footage, the ability to analyze 3-D samples, take measurements, and create reports. 

Benefits of Digital Microscope Cameras & USB Microscope Cameras

Digital Microscope Cameras and USB Microscope cameras are easy to install and use. Simply remove the standard optical eyepiece from your microscope and plug in the digital microscope camera/USB microscope camera. Most, if not all, are designed using the C-mount standard, the camera and come with a reduction lens and at least two other sizing adapters. They come in sets that come with USB cords and software making it easy to upgrade a standard microscope. Kits come in many varieties with as many or as little extras as you seek.
