It introduced the first digital microscope in 1985, followed by a hand-held video microscope system in 1986, supplied to the Japanese police force.

A primary difference between an optical and a digital microscope is the magnification.

The magnification for a digital microscope is defined as the ratio of the size of image on the monitor to the subject size.

The most accurate 3D measurement from a step motor for a digital microscope is 1 micrometres.

The traditional optical microscope has more recently evolved into the digital microscope.

She turned around from her intimidating console of pressure gauges, dials and digital microscopes that built images in pixels instead of lines on video screens.

The most recent development is the digital microscope, which uses a CCD camera to focus on the exhibit of interest.

The digital microscope would allow the images to be transmitted for diagnosis to a pathologist anywhere in the world.

Since the digital microscope does not have an eyepiece, the magnification cannot be found using this method.

Instead the magnification for a digital microscope is found by how many times larger the sample is reproduced on the monitor.
