The USB inspection camera is designed to display simple magnifications on a computer screen. The USB inspection camera is connected to a screen. This allows a large presentation for several people. In addition, the USB inspection camera can illuminate the test objects by means of eight built-in LEDs in such a way that a perfect representation is possible. These LEDs are arranged in such a way that uniform illumination is ensured from all sides. The light intensity can be adjusted manually, so that there is no over-exposure.

The test objects which can be viewed with the USB inspection camera are the same, which are otherwise checked with conventional mono-, bino- and trinocular microscopes. The images displayed on the screen can be captured as images or video. By means of the video function, changes in the field of view can thus also be exhibited. The magnification of the USB inspection camera can be set by the user and ranges from 200x magnification up to 1600x magnification. This is a value which is comparatively high even in conventional microscopes. Due to this high functionality, the USB inspection camera PCE-MM 800 is ideally suited for industrial and domestic applications.
