div class=”aplus”> The Aven 26700-520 iLoupe XL2 hand-held, portable, digital microscope has a built-in, 2.7-inch, color LCD monitor for ease of viewing, LED illumination, optical magnification ability of 10x to 40x, and digital magnification of 15x to 200x. This digital microscope enhances the resolution of an object or image, and has the ability to display an image on an integrated monitor. It is commonly used for quality control (QC) inspection, medical and scientific research, forensics, archaeology, forestry, and for printing and textile inspection. This compact, mobile microscope houses a monitor to view subjects, and operates in a variety of settings. In addition to its high magnification capabilities, the iLoupe XL2 uses four, white LED lights with adjustable brightness to control illumination. A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) color image sensor manages noise reduction and image quality, and delivers high-resolution, 1600 x 1200 pixel images. The microscope includes inverse, grey, and emboss screen modes for additional object image effects. The microscope has two GB of flash memory, takes standard JPEG photos, records Audio Video Interleave (AVI) videos, and outputs images to a PC. It can also be used as a web camera. Included advanced application software measures object length, perimeter, angle, and area. The iLoupe XL2 microscope has a five-year body and lens accessories warranty, a one-year warranty for optical inspection accessories, magnifying lamps & task lighting, and a limited lifetime warranty for video inspection lenses (lens only). The microscope comes with an adjustable stand, carrying case, cleaning cloth, USB cable, wrist strap, and manual. The 26700-520 iLoupe XL2 portable microscope can download images to a PC. It has no video output. Its dimensions are 56 (h) x 26 (w) x 12 (l) mm, and it weighs 0.25 lbs. It works with a Li-battery 3.7-Volt/1700 mA power source for up to five hours of operating time with standby operating time of up to seven hours. Charging source is USB port 300 mA, and adapter 500 mA. With use of the adapter, charge time is four hours. Power consumption: capture 345 mA, record 300mA, standby 230 mA. Included software is compatible with Windows-based computers. Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries. Since 1983, Aven Incorporated has designed and manufactured an array of products for the industrial marketplace. Products such as microscopes, and illumination and video systems support the biotechnology, forensics, telecommunications, and electronic industries.
