Description
The Easi-Scope is a simple, handheld USB microscope that brings the tiny details of the world onto the classroom screen. Plug it into a computer, hold it over a leaf, a coin, a piece of fabric or a minibeast, and the magnified image appears live on the monitor — no slides or fiddly focusing knobs to fight with. Turn the top to focus and press the single button to capture a still or a video, so children can save what they find and talk about it together.
Features:
- Handheld, plug-and-play USB microscope — connects to a Windows or Mac computer
- Up to 43x magnification (shown on a 17-inch monitor), with built-in LED lighting
- Single-button capture for still images and video
- 640 x 480 VGA image sensor with automatic white balance and exposure
- Compact and light — about 73 x 50 mm and just 103 g
- Software included; no batteries needed — it's powered over USB
Ways to use it:
- Project a live magnified image on the whiteboard for the whole class
- Look closely at everyday objects, plants, fabrics and minibeasts
- Capture and save images to label, compare and write about
- Support the 'working scientifically' strand — observing closely and recording
- Compare textures and surfaces as part of a materials investigation
Affordable, robust and genuinely easy to use, the Easi-Scope is a great first step into digital microscopy for the primary classroom.
