Spectrum Technologies has released the IPM Scope CAM - an upgraded version of the IPM microscope.
Previously, users had to transfer images and videos to a computer for viewing; now, they can view them on a built-in screen before they are transferred.
Fine details of plant disease symptoms, insects or anything else too small to see with the naked eye can be clearly defined with IPM's 3-25x magnification.
Instead of straining to look into a tiny eyepiece, the IPM Scope CAM is placed over the leaf and the magnified image can be viewed on the screen or transferred to a computer via an SD card or a USB cable.
Once the image has been transferred to a computer, it can be magnified up to 300x.
The IPM Scope CAM combines a 5.1-megapixel digital camera, precision optics and light-emitting-diode lighting in a handheld microscope.
