Jan. 7, 2009
Aven, Inc.'s (Ann Arbor, MI) Mighty Scope is a handheld high-resolution precision magnifier and image capture device with a USB interface. Its focus range is fully adjustable to any magnification from 10 times to 200 times, unlike earlier models that limit users to fixed settings or limited ranges. A brightness control wheel allows fingertip adjustments of illumination from six white LEDs to suit varied interior or exterior environments.

Aven, Inc. (Ann Arbor, MI) wants you to think of its compact Mighty Scope as a mini-camera that zooms. Mighty Scope is a handheld high-resolution precision magnifier and image capture device with a USB interface. Its focus range is fully adjustable to any magnification from 10 times to 200 times, unlike earlier models that limit users to fixed settings or limited ranges. A brightness control wheel allows fingertip adjustments of illumination from six white LEDs to suit varied interior or exterior environments.

There are three models: one with 500-times magnification, and one with six ultraviolet lights operating at 405 nanometers (nm). An analog model also is available. Images, interval shots or video are captured instantly by a 1.3-megapixel camera with a color CMOS sensor and Microsoft-compatible software on digital models.

A Microtouch shutter button eliminates the need to tap a computer key, whether Aven's scope is hand-held or mounted on an optional stand.

The company says this is a handy workbench or field tool for science labs, dermatology offices, classrooms, crime labs, and other applications. In educational settings, research scholars or students can readily obtain custom-enlarged images to email or insert in documents.

Mighty Scope is ergonomically designed for comfortable use with either hand.
