Extech instruments has lifted the covers for its latest device, the the innovative new Extech digital mini microscope with digital camera capabilities. The said device gives consumers a first glance at EDS, the Electronic Distribution Show & Conference, in Las Vegas, NV, from Tuesday, May 12 through Thursday, May 14, 2009.

The versatile mini microscope couples digital camera convenience with microscope optics: optical zoom from 7x to 27x and a 4x digital zoom, effectively providing up to 108x total magnification capability. Weighing only 2.5oz (70g) and more compact than a typical wireless phone, this versatile new digital pocket microscope displays images on a brilliant 1.8” TFT color LCD screen or on your PC monitor in real-time (via USB).

Extech’s MC108 digital mini microscope is being used in diverse applications such as printed circuit board and soldering inspection; fingerprint verification, counterfeit currency, and forensics investigations; textile and fabric quality control; quality checks for printing including print/color alignment and color matching; plant/horticultural research; as well as gemological appraisals.

The MC108 digital mini microscope is available now from Extech distributors with a suggested retail price of $299.99. The microscope comes complete with stand, 3 AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, 100 to 240VAC (50/60Hz) adaptor/charger, Windows -compatible software, mini USB cable, cleaning cloth, and wrist strap.
