The Plugable 250x Digital USB Microscope is a handy and compact magnifying tool that is ideal for hobbies, crafts, or science projects. This versatile scope can be used both as a handheld device or placed into a flexible arm on a stand for hands-free operation. At the core of the device is a 2MP sensor, capable of capturing 1600 x 1200 images and videos and delivering them to your computer via a USB cable. To deliver perfect brightness and clarity in many lighting conditions, the scope features a built-in LED ring that's situated around the imaging sensor, under a protective polymer diffuser bezel.
