How it works
Since 2001 the ProScope opened a new chapter in microscopy and made microscopy accessible and easy to use for everyone.
Oregon-made and lead-free, the ProScope HR is the world's first handheld digital microscope.
The videos and documentation on this page will help you understand how to get the best use out of your ProScope HR or ProScope HR2.
How the ProScope HR is used
Since 2001 the ProScope HR has been a mainstay in science education, law enforcement, and manufacturing quality control worldwide.
"We have been using the ProScope very intensively for following the embryonic development, hatching, and growth of freshwater snails. It has provided us with a wealth of data and insights into this little known aspect of biology. We have also used it quantitatively evaluating the effects of embryonic development, hatching, and growth of these snails towards pollutants in water. We have found the ProScope very useful and manageable, providing clear pictures and time-lapse videos." Prof H.Bouwman, NWU - Read More
