Celestron's MicroDirect 1080P HDMI Handheld Digital Microscope is a compact magnifying tool that offers handheld and stand-mounted operating options. Using the included wide stand, you can adjust and secure a working distance and horizontal position above your sample. The base also provides two clips to hold your slides or flat samples. With its high-resolution 3.5MP imaging sensor and an LED illumination ring, you can capture bright and crisp images and 30 fps videos. Optimized for 3D examinations, this kit also can be useful to study miniature artifacts by bumping up the magnification power to 220x on a 20' monitor. The device also provides options for streaming videos out via its mini-USB or mini-HDMI ports, saving your visual data to a 32GB microSD slot, and controlling shutter speeds manually or through your PC.
