MPIH-002 MiScope Live Insect Holder by Zarbeco

The live insect holder allows you to use the MiScope or MiScope Megapixel 2 to image at 40x or zoom in at 140x on a live insect. No need to chase a live insect with your MiScope to get an infocus image. Then use your MiScope or Miscope MP2 to capture still or moving images.

Drop the insect into the insect holder, insert the back cover and turn it to lock the insect inside. Then flip it over, place it into the MPstand and you can use with your MiScope or MiScope Megapixel 2 to image at 40x or 140x.

The built-in precision 1mm grid makes it easy to do quick measurement. The optical glare-free glass allows easy viewing of your insect sample and keeps the viewing area clean between samples. It also comes with a plastic tweezer for transport of live insects, and a donut insert for smaller insect samples.

The included MPstand can be used as a base with the insect holder or alone as a stand for extended depth of field at 12x magnification for the MiScope Megapixel 2. In the field, classroom, or in your facility, it will make viewing live insects easier.

MiScope or MiScope Megapixel 2 must be purchased separately (not included)

Video Toolbox™ Premier enhances our Video ToolBox Pro software and adds more tools for inspection and precision measurement. Edge detection assistance snaps your measurement tools to an edge. Adjust the location of the measurement tools with pixel level accuracy at any magnification using the arrow keys on your keyboard. The magnifier window displays a magnified view at the cursor location so you can see and measure precise details, even when your screen is zoomed out to see an entire photograph.

Video Toolbox™ Premier lets you work with 16 megapixel DSLR images as easily as you do with live HD video (using our USB3 VideoLink package).

Overlays and side-by-side comparisons are quick and easy. The CAD conversion package allows calibrated CAD files to be displayed directly over a live image. Filters allow you to isolate single color components in your image. And the customization feature allows you to remove most functions from the main screen so that users are not distracted by features that they do not need.

Video ToolBox Premier works with most USB2, USB3 and FireWire cameras which use DirectX WDM drivers. The software can import most standard image formats including JPG, BMP,and TIF.
