Digital Microscopes
Digital microscopes use the power of digital imaging to make it easier to view what’s being observed by a scope through the use of a digital camera. A digital microscope can either record digital still images or even provide live imaging, all thanks to either an integrated digital camera or one that can be attached to the microscope through an adapter. Many models can transmit these digital images to a screen or a computer through a USB port.
Choose from Dino-Lite Digital Microscopes, Motic or National Optical. All these digital microscopes include a built-in digital microscope camera. We are the nation's largest dealer of Dino-Lite Microscopes.

Motic / National Optical Digital Microscopes
For convenience, we have divided these digital microscopes into three sub-categories:
High Power - For viewing transparent cellular specimens on microscope slides. They include eyepieces for standard viewing
Low Power - For viewing opaque, macro specimens that are visible to the Human eye. They include eyepieces for standard viewing.
Video Inspection Systems - Pre-configured industrial inspection microscopes that include a digital microscope camera with zoom lens and boom stand.
Remember: You can also achieve a more flexible digital microscope solution by purchasing a standard microscope (ideally trinocular), and a digital microscope camera. This makes the best digital microscope less about a specific brand but more about one that fits your needs and budget.
