ViTiny Pro10 Plus Portable Digital Microscope Review

- Photomicrography to New Heights -

Hobbyists and professionals alike will find the ViTiny Pro10 Plus portable digital microscope an impressive and handy digital tool for use in microscopy.  Every so often, something comes up over the scientific horizon that opens our eyes to endless possibilities.  

This portable device is one of the most unique entries into the field of research-oriented microscopy, photomicrography and even art. It is a digital microscope that allows you to capture images and video of the micro-world. 









Photomicrography

Photomicrography is the science that deals with picturing and documenting objects as seen through a microscope. Discoveries in microscopy took to new heights with the help of digital and electron micrographs. 

Light microscopy has moved ahead in producing optical products paired with digital imaging capability enhancing microscopy research for use in education, with living and non-living samples, in geology, biology, with fabrics or print - sharing findings with scientific communities and the world.

Product Impression

Choosing this product seems like a simple decision at the offered price. A capable microscope and digital camera together at an impressive price. The ViTiny Pro10 Plus portable digital microscope allows you to capture the microscopic world beautifully and in an all-encompassing way.  

ViTiny Pro10 Plus offers a portable digital microscope embedding LED for quality illumination and better precision in focus thus making the images more conspicuous to the human eye.  The LED lighting can be adjusted to impinge light from various directions.  

Its absolute portability and use in field is a definite advantage.  You do not need to carry an extra monitor along with the microscope or need one nearby.  Your images can be easily outputed afterwards to a PC or TV. 

In comparison, there are several products that require a monitor in order to view objects in real-time like the Dino-Lite Microscope or the Celestron 44302 Handheld Digital Microscope which is a limiting feature.  Hence the ViTiny digital microscope is among the most full featured portable microscopes available.  

The extent of magnification offered is another huge plus and both digital and optical zoom work just as predicted. The mode of comparison helps a researcher in scaling things exactly to the dimension he is seeking. The length ruler is an adequate addition for researching and documenting object areas, perimeters and angles.


Pros and Cons

The product is an outright winner and negative points are few and far between. However, MicroscopeMaster provides the pros and cons below:
