ProScope HR2 USB Microscope

The lightweight ProScope HR2, shines wherever there's a free USB port. The ProScope resolution is 1280 x 1024 at 72 dpi in millions of colors (HR model HR2 even higher)

The versatile ProScope HR2 has many applications. A biologist might configure it as a Webcam to monitor experiments remotely or share its output with a colleague through NetMeeting. Rather than squinting through a microscope eyepiece, students can view an image together. The ProScope HR costs more than products like the IntelPlay Qx3 because it's a tool, not a toy.

To use the ProScope HR2, simply hold the ray gun-like device to the item. Pressing the trigger button takes a digital picture, an AVI movie, or a time-lapse movie. For even illumination, a thumb switch lights a ring of six bright white LEDs surrounding the lens.

The ProScope HR2 USB Microscope does a great job.

Learning has never been this fun... or this easy

It is time to put the fun back in learning. The ProScope™ is the ultimate tool for teachers, scientists, hobbyists, or anyone who has a desire to learn about our microscopic world, unencumbered by the usual tedium of traditional microscopy techniques.

The ProScope™ brings unprecedented flexibility and excitement to the learning process. Gone are the frustrations of conventional microscopes where each student is forced to wait their turn to get a short glimpse. Finally, the teacher and class can focus on what is important and share the entire experience. Encased in high-impact plastic, The ProScope™'s rugged construction and high-quality components are sturdy enough for a crime scene or a K-12 classroom.

No limits.

The ProScope™ is not limited to the classroom. Seasoned professionals can make use of The ProScope™'s powerful, yet surprisingly affordable abilities. With one-button image capture and video production, the possibilities become endless.

Field Use: Your ProScope™ goes anywhere your laptop goes because it's only connection is the USB port on your computer. The ProScope™ brings the lab to the field so that Biology, archaeology or any field studies can be conducted on site. The full ProScope™ Kit comes with a hard shell case so portability and care of your ProScope™ and accessories is safe and easy.

Law Enforcement: Instead of bringing the evidence to the lab you can bring the lab to the evidence. The ProScope™ is a handheld USB microscope that works on Windows and Mac, and will go anywhere your laptop goes while imaging evidence in real time on the desktop. Images can be captured as still, video or time-lapse and easily emailed or saved for later analysis or proof in court. Eliminate contamination, or deterioration of evidence. With The ProScope™ on the scene, digital evidence collection and analysis is just one click away.

Lab Use: The ProScope™ can be attached to your existing microscope, telescope or camera lenses that have a C-mount by way of our C-mount adapter. Your expensive analog optics can now capture digital images to your computer desktop.

Industrial: Industrial inspection depends on clear examination and the digital image capture only available with The ProScope. Used with the inspection of printed circuit boards, micro-components, aerospace manufacturing and more, The ProScope™ is saving manufacturers and insurers millions with precise images that can be shared easily via email.

Endless Possibilities.

Find something you like? With the press of a button, the camera captures the image and stores it as a file in the location of your choosing. The powerful software included with The ProScope™ provides sophisticated video capture as well.

The optional lenses enable you to have the power to switch magnifications with a simple twist of the wrist. Any user can easily switch from 1-200x magnification: from light magnification of objects, all the way down to microorganisms. The ProScope™ can even be attached to an existing microscope, telescope or camera lenses with a c-mount and our ProScope™ C-mount adapter.

Designed and developed for law enforcement, the ProScope Stand will steadily hold the ProScope in an incredible variety of positions. Perfect for law enforcement, industrial inspection, and biology when working at high magnification.

With all these options, the possible uses of The ProScope™ are truly endless.
