The ProScope HR™ is an affordable USB handheld digital microscope designed for both PC and Mac platforms. With a high - quality 1.3 Megapixel CCD, built-in LED illumination and a universal lens mount, the ProScope HR™ is a powerful imaging tool for education, lab, forensics, dermatology, archeology, art, quality control and inspection. The ProScope HR™ connects to the USB port of computers and laptops allowing taking this digital microscopy tool from the lab to anywhere in the field for instant imaging and documentation. The full range of accessories including lenses (from 1x -400x), CCD adapter and microscope tube adapter creates a versatile microscopy imaging system which can be deployed practically anywhere for virtually unlimited applications. The ProScope HR™ is surprisingly easy to use: one-button image capture for digital still images, time lapse recording or video's, all stored on your computer or laptop. ProScope HR™ Operating Instructions.

go to the ProScope™ Image Gallery

Optical System - The ProScope HR™ utilizes a high resolution CCD chip with 1280x1024 pixels. This ensures fast live imaging at a high frame rate. Several lenses with a quick release mount are available:

Illumination - The ProScope HR™ lenses (except the microscope tube adapter lens) have fully integrated bright white LED's for illumination, delivering crisp and clear imaging.

Focusing - Most ProScope HR™ lenses have an adjustable lens cone designed for touch-view focusing. This will steady the handheld ProScope HR™ for improved image quality. The lens cone can be shortened for distance view operation when the object can not be touched. For higher magnifications the ProScope Stand should be used.

ProScope Precision Stand - Designed and developed to operate on a small foot print and around objects the ProScope stand will steadily hold the ProScope HR™ in a wide variety of positions. Perfect for forensics, industrial inspection and laboratory application when working at high magnifications

Microscopy Imaging - The ProScope HR™ can transform stereo or compound microscopes into digital scopes by using either the CCD adapter (preferred) or the eyepiece adapter.

Power Requirements - The ProScope HR™ is powered over the USB Bus and requires only 400mA. No additional power is required.

ProScope HR Imagine Software Imaging Software - The ProScope HR™ imaging software, which is included with each ProScope HR™ System, provides camera resolution settings, image capture mode and filing of the images. Images are automatically stored in a gallery type presentation and can be exported from there. The additional software capture button capability allows for steady imaging when the ProScope HR™ is used on the stand or on a microscope. ProScope HR™ Imaging Software Guide.
Application Kits - The ProScope HR™ is available as base system with additional lenses and accessories or as kits. There are 4 kits available:
