Digital Microscopes and Video

Most people using digital microscopes capture still images, but rarely capture video, or time-lapse video. But for educational organisations video can reveal an enormous amount. In one instance a physics teacher videoed the commutator on a hand cranked generator and replayed it step by step explaining to his students how the commutator worked. Another teacher videoed in time lapse a Monarch butterfly going through metamorphosis from pupa to adult.

In this blog I have included a beetle feeding. This was captured with a digital microscope.

Our new digital microscope, the iMicro Pro, is ideal for schools and universities implementing BYOD. It can be used with Windows, Mac OS and iPads, iPhones and Android devices. It connects by USB, or WiFi.

WiFi has some great features - firstly no need to connect by a cable and so the microscope can be at a distance from the device and secondly it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously so a number of students can view the same image from the one microscope.
