Ted Pella, Inc has introduced the new ProScope HR handheld digital USB microscope which represents a new revolutionary method of digital light microscopy. With a series of interchangeable lenses, ranging from 1x to 400x magnification, built-in bright LED illumination and a 1.3 mega pixel imaging chip the ProScope HR produces crisp, high resolution still images or videos. The ProScope HR is connected to a Windows or Mac desktop or laptop computer via the USB 2.0 connector for digital imaging and documentation.

The adjustable lens cone with touch-view brings the image automatically into focus and will steady the ProScope HR for clear imaging. When touch view is not allowed, the precision stand can be used to image the object. Connected to a laptop the ProScope HR can be used virtually everywhere in the field and brings the microscope to the object. Application fields are: science and education, forensics, archeology, geology, quality control and inspection.

With the optional C-mount adapter the ProScope HR can be used as a digital camera for existing analog light microscopes, stereo microscopes and telescopes.
