{"product_id":"usb-digital-microscope-1080p","title":"USB digital microscope, 1080p with LED ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eA loupe puts the work an inch from your eye and both of your hands are now busy holding things still. A microscope on a stand puts the image on a screen and gives you your hands back. That is the whole argument for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1080p sensor, USB. It shows up as a camera on Windows, macOS and Android, so any app that can open a webcam can open this. No driver disc, no proprietary software you have to trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight LEDs ring the lens, on a dial so you can take the light down. That dial matters more than it sounds. At full brightness a solder joint or a polished steel face throws the light straight back and the image blows out white. Turning the ring down until the highlight just stops blooming is how you actually see a crack in a pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you can see with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolder bridges and cold joints on through-hole and larger surface-mount work. The engraving on a movement bridge. Whether the edge you just filed is square or slightly rolled. Whether the bit you are about to throw away is chipped or just dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it stops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnification figure on this kind of instrument comes from the sensor and the screen you view it on, not from the optics alone. A bigger monitor gives a bigger number. Read it as a range, not a specification: this is a working magnification for bench inspection, not a laboratory instrument, and it will not resolve a die surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth of field is shallow. At high magnification only a thin slice of the object is in focus at once, and anything with real height will need refocusing as you move. This is normal for the type and not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stand holds the camera steady over the work. It is not a micrometer stage - you position it by hand and by eye, and fine work means moving the piece rather than the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eiPhone is not supported. The connection is USB, and Apple's camera stack does not open a generic USB video device.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mikrabench","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512669716671,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/5826\/3743\/files\/Sa45f45df87d54d8a880918eb7fb69dcd8.webp?v=1789872133","url":"https:\/\/arvonelle.com\/products\/usb-digital-microscope-1080p","provider":"ARVONELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
