The Proscope HR and ProScope HR2 Digital Handheld Microscope
ProScope HR, the world's first handheld digital microscope, is now available in the original 1.3 mp imager and the ProScope HR2, adjustable 2.0 mp imager.
ProScope HR Gallery
Since 2001 the ProScope HR has been a mainstay in science education, law enforcement, and manufacturing quality control worldwide. Included software for Windows and Mac will capture stills, video and time lapse. Lenses range 0-10X, 30X, 50X, 100X, 200X, 400X and 1000X. You can even connect the ProScope HR to your analog microscope, telescope or borescope. The ProScope HR is USB Video Class and needs no driver to run. You can even use the ProScope HR with programs like Skype or iChat to show others what your ProScope HR is seeing in real time over the internet!
The ProScope HR features:
- Accurate, repeatable measurement within 10 microns
- Modular lenses range from 1x to 1000x
- No driver needed. Just plug and play!
- Lead-free and RoHS compliant
- Attaches to other optics like Borescopes and analog microscopes
- Made in Oregon, USA
- 30-day no questions asked return policy
- Two year warranty
ProScope HR2 Gallery
The new ProScope HR2 features the new state-of-the-art, Aptina imager which was originally made for surveillance, with large pixels that take in more light than other imagers on the market. The Bodelin engineering team customized this imager to allow extensive imaging adjustment and LED intensity control. The most impressive feature is the ability to actually stream true pixels at higher resolutions. The ProScope HR2 is the only digital microscope in the world that can do this. Other imagers stream at 640X480 and only interpolate to simulate higher resolutions. The total effect in the ProScope HR2 is live video that appears to be 4 to 5 megapixels in clarity while only using an actual 2 megapixel imager. The new cobalt black handle says this is a serious tool yet the price point is equal to the previous ProScope HR, which will remain in the product line at a lower cost. The ProScope products are currently used in tens of thousands of schools, universities, law enforcement forensic labs, manufacturing quality control, medical and tele-medicine since 2001.
The ProScope HR and HR2 are made in Oregon, RoHS compliant (lead-free), UVC plug and play.
