Check out this interesting little camera. It’s called the Aven iloupe, and it’s billed as the worlds first compact portable field microscope. The camera is a Canon SD600, which is inserted into an adapter which houses the additional lens mount. It even has 4 dimmable built in LED lights! There are two packages available, a starter pack with 60x objective lens, and a pro pack with three lenses; 60x, 100x, 150x. Prices are $1255 for the Starter pack and $1755 for the pro pack, but wait, there’s more! Rebates of $300 and more ’till the end of December! So for less than $1000, you can capture objects from 6 to 10 microns! Talk about fun!
