What Is a USB Microscope?
A USB microscope is a device for observing magnified objects by installing a camera on an optical microscope that magnifies objects too small for the human eye to perceive, connecting it to a PC or other device using a USB port, and displaying the image on a monitor.
Images from a USB microscope can be saved or recorded as video if a PC is used.
Since images and videos of magnified objects are saved as digital data, they can be easily processed, transcribed, and duplicated.
The magnifications and functions range from inexpensive to expensive, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs, from home use to industrial use.
Uses of USB Microscopes
USB microscopes kits are sold at home centers for home use and are often used for research.
Highly functional and expensive microscopes are used in the beauty field, such as skin care, to observe the pores and surface of the scalp and skin, and since the area to be observed is the entire human skin, a handheld device is suitable.
In the medical field, they are used to observe and record sampled cellular tissue, and there are instruments equipped with special light sources and filters.
In the industrial field, they are used not only to observe and record the surface of samples, but also to inspect the quality of mass-produced products, and there are instruments with inspection functions combined with image analysis software.
Principle of USB Microscopes
This section describes the principle and features of USB microscopes.
In industries and workplaces where high resolution is required, the demand for image quality increases along with the resolution that follows the expansion of the object to be observed.
Such USB microscopes that require high resolution use a CCD camera (Charge-Coupled Device Camera).
These cameras are expensive due to their complex structure, manufacturing difficulties, and the limited number of companies that can mass-produce them, but they have excellent resolution.
These cameras are used in the medical industry to observe tissues in greater detail and to more accurately identify lesions.
Inexpensive and portable USB microscopes incorporate a CMOS camera (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Camera).
This camera has a structure that consumes less power and is characterized by the fact that it does not cause smear, a white streak caused by light, to appear in the captured image or video.
Although they are noisier than CCD cameras, they are easy to manufacture and inexpensive, so they are often used in homes and in educational settings.
