Aven 26800C-212 Shop Pocket Microscope, LED Illumination, 60-100x Magnification, 4 - 1.8mm Field of View Feature

  • Handheld pocket microscope for specimen examination in the engineering, tool making, quality control (QC) inspection, field research, gemology, and medical industries
  • Focus wheel for detailed examination with pointed accuracy for inspection of small areas and objects
  • Magnification ability of 60X to 100X, with 1.8 to 4.0 mm field of view (FOV)
  • Built-in LED illumination with ability to turn on and off
  • Comes with a carrying case for protection of microscope body

The Aven 26800C-542 handheld pocket microscope has a magnification ability of 60X to 100X, with 4.0 to 1.8 mm field of view (FOV), built-in LED illumination, and a focus wheel. This microscope enhances object or image resolution, and is commonly used by hobbyists and professionals in the printing, engineering, dermatology, parts assembly, quality control (QC) inspection, collecting, printing, gemology, and medical industries.

This microscope features a focus wheel that allows detailed examination with pointed accuracy for inspection of small areas and objects. It has built-in, LED illumination with the ability to turn on and off. A clear acrylic stand allows ambient light to the object. The microscope comes with a carrying case.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying viewing abilities. A trinocular eyepiece is used to output digital images to an internal or external device such as a camera or monitor. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also use LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.

Aven manufactures optical inspection tools, precision tools, and bench accessories for industrial, scientific, and research applications. The company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI.
