Zoom Lens Digital Microscopes
Jan 7th 2026
What is a Zoom Lens Microscope?
A zoom lens microscope typically does not have eyepieces and instead uses a digital camera and monitor to view images. The zoom lens can provide high magnification and depending on the quality of the camera and monitor used in the system, high resolution is possible.
The zoom lens digital microscope provides a range of magnification from about 15x - 115x. This zoom
