Would you Buy a USB Microscope?

ThinkGeek sent me the new 1.3 Megapixel USB microscope to review. I was really excited, because the old USB microscope that I had is now broken. I can’t stop playing with this thing, and keep looking for more items to view with it. If you’re into microscopes, you definitely want to check this one out. The 1.3 Megapixel USB Digital Microscope is just amazing.

This 1.3 Megapixel Digital Microscope allows you to capture some higher resolution images and video and display them on your PC using a simple USB connection. View specimens collected around the house, backyard, your desk, or the fridge. Look at the micro-printing on a dollar bill or examine the traces on your motherboard. This microscope provides you an easy way to zoom in on a wide variety of objects to satisfy your curiosity of the world around you. Ever wondered what lint looks like or the mold growing on your week-old bagels? Now you can find out.

Simple plug and play operation with included software that allows you to magnify objects and view them on your PC up to 200X and take snapshots and time-lapse movies. You can also manipulate images with drawing and painting tools. The microscope is detachable from the stand to allow you to get closer to large objects.

The quality of this little baby is simply astounding. If you watch the video closely, you’ll see how clear and precise it is. Ponzi is going to get very annoyed with me, I can tell you that already. It’s a good thing she’s on vacation right now!

What a useless gadget….only fit for geeks who have nothing else to do in life!

Yo Chris the Youtube vid seems to be laggy in the later parts, especially after you talk about your blue jeans. :S

I was big into microscopy when I was a lad. This bad boy duplicates the functionality of a stereomicroscope. Seriously cool.

Now where am I gonna come up with 350 bucks? (sigh)

I would probably buy one if they were a little cheaper. I think this USB Microscope has very good quality. I think it would be especially a good device to have if your were a scientist of some type that needs to be able to view, snap photos, and record objects, insects, or items etc. under a microscope.

I’d buy it. But then again, we’re homeschooling freaks, so you know, we like that kind of stuff.
