Digital Microscope Wireless Mini Camera

The Digital Microscope Wireless Mini Camera from Grippop is a pocket-sized magnifier for getting a close look at things too small to see clearly by eye. Point it at a circuit board, a coin, a piece of jewelry, your skin, or an insect, and the detail shows up on a screen. Magnification runs from 50X up to 1000X, and you set focus by hand anywhere from 0 to 40mm.

A 2-megapixel sensor takes still photos at 1920 x 1080 and saves them as JPG, while video records in MP4 or AVI. It connects wirelessly within about 10 meters in open space and also has a USB 2.0 interface for a wired link. The unit is white and small enough to hold in one hand.

A few honest notes. Focus is fully manual, so you turn the dial until the image is sharp rather than leaning on autofocus. The 1000X figure is the top magnification and is best read as a guide for this class of USB microscope, not lab-grade optics. The box contains the microscope only, so it does not list a stand, cable, or charger.
