Gadgets : Get Up Close With Your Keyboard Fluff With This USB Microscope Camera

Whether you’re a closet science geek,  or just fanatical about making sure everything really is clean to a microscopic level, this USB Microscope from Firebox is going to have you distracted for hours as it not only lets you zoom into objects from 20x to 400x, but also allows you to show everyone else just how exciting the bit of fluff in your computer keyboard is thanks to the accompanying software that will let you take photos or record videos directly onto your PC.

Coming with it’s very own desktop stand, operating this USB microscope is easy – you just hold it in your hand like a pen and use the scroll mechanism on the front face to zoom in and out on whatever you’re looking at, and there’s no need to worry if whatever you’re looking at is dark either as it comes complete with an internal white LED!

Currently compatible with Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X 10.5 and above, the USB microscope is available in two formats – a Standard version that allows for 200x magnification and a super duper Deluxe version that allows for 400x magnification, with the former available for £59.95 and the latter for £69.95 in the UK, and the standard version available for $99.95 in the US.

The USB Microscope can be ordered online from Firebox UK and Firebox US.
