Product Summary
General use digital 3.1 MP eyepiece camera fits in place of the eyepiece lens in most standard (23mm mount) body tubes. (Camera marked as MD-300) Enables your microscope to act as a critical teaching tool demonstrating microscope techniques, showing your class important cellular features before sending them out to find them on their own, capturing critical images for worksheets or assessments. Native digital file format chosen to specifically use together with SPARKVUE software so that once calibrated to known distance so any distances, areas or volumes in the field of view can be much better measured or estimated. Use together with the compound microscope (SE-6213) or whatever your school uses to make sure all students share in the experiences of exploring the microscopic world. Currently compatible only with SPARKvue software.
