What are Digital Microscopes?
A digital microscope is a traditional microscope with a built-in charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, and is used for the magnified viewing of samples and specimens. These microscopes are connected to a computer by a USB port so that the images they produce can be saved onto a hard drive for later inspection, or displayed on a monitor so that several people can see a specimen at the same time. By utilizing a combination of technologies, digital microscopes play a crucial role in research and education. The first digital microscopes were made in Japan by Hirox Co. Ltd. and the Keyence Corporation. Both of these companies are still frontrunners in digital microscopy design and manufacture. Over the last 20 years, however, a flood of other companies have emerged to produce a number of other forms of USB digital microscopes. Although digital microscopes are used in many of the same applications as optical microscopes, the way they work is vastly different. An optical microscope is designed
The Digital Microscope is the newest innovation of microscopy that uses a digital camera in imaging. It utilizes USB technology to produce live image viewable on a computer monitor. It makes use of an inverted lens design so specimens of variable sizes and shapes can be viewed with little or no preparation and a rotatable lamp that enables the illumination of opaque specimens by reflected light.

A Video Microscope is like a digital microscope. It is being powered through the use of video and digital cameras with many features that are specifically designed to suit microscopy. The video and cameras used in video microscopes offer high resolutions coupled with high sensitivity. All are designed for broad range of imaging applications. They are designed to excel at rapid acquisition of low-light level fluorescence images. * What are Scanning Tunneling Microscopes? Scanning Tunneling Microscopes are instruments used in scanning probe microscopy. It can view ve
