ioLight
digital microscope has professional
features in a pocket package
The ioLight portable
microscope has a resolution of 1 micron
with built-in illumination from both
above and below the sample. A glass
sample stage allows for samples up to
35mm thick, or samples mounted on standard
microscope slides. Despite all these
professional features, the microscope
folds flat and fits in a jacket pocket
or desk drawer. The rechargeable battery
lasts all day in normal use. Images
and videos are displayed on an iPad,
iPhone or Android app making it a go-anywhere
high-resolution microscope. The microscope
also works with all laptops. For more
