"June 9th 2010, Lake Oswego, Oregon, Bodelin Technologies, manufacturers of the ProScope HR and ProScope HR2 high res handheld digital microscopes have taken a giant step with a wireless model for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
ProScope Mobile is powered by three AA batteries and works on Wi-Fi. In fact, it creates it's own Wi-Fi network and can be used simultaneously with up to 253 devices of any combination of iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone. ProScope Mobile utilizes an app called Airmicro (iPhone/iPod Touch) and AirmicroPad (for the iPad) and is a free download from the iTunes App Store.
ProScope Mobile users can view live images, freeze them and capture them to the Photo Album of their device. For Apple users, the photos go directly into iPhoto when synced with the base computer. Imagine a classroom filled with iPads. Each student would simultaneously see what the teacher is showing with the ProScope Mobile. When the teacher presses the capture button on the ProScope Mobile, that image is captured in the photo album of each student's iPad at the same time.
Doctors can show patients live images and add these images into practice management apps and software. This would be a great advance in telemedicine.
Crime scene investigators can snap images on an iPhone and email them to a colleague at the lab or to a collaborative agency.
Field scientist can use an Apple mobile device with the ProScope Mobile to examine specimens on site without destroying a sample to transport to a lab.
Most recently ProScope customers in manufacturing quality control and the oil industry have asked for a wireless model to inspect for leaks, cracks and corrosion.
Like previous ProScope generations, ProScope Mobile users can select from a wide variety of lens magnifications from 0-10x, 30x, 50x, 100x, 200x and 400x. There are also adapters for analog microscopes and borescopes. ProScope Mobile can also be sold in popular ProScope Kits"
BODELIN BEGINS SHIPPING NEW HIGH RESOLUTION PROSCOPE HR2 MICROSCOPE
"Lake Oswego, Oregon -September 15t, 2009, Bodelin Technologies, manufacturer of the Proscope HR (1.3 megapixel imager), the world's first handheld USB microscope, begins shipping their new higher resolution ProScope HR2 (2 megapixel imager) with custom state of the art Aptina imager.
The new ProScope HR2 features the new state-of-the-art, Aptina'" imager which was originally made for surveillance, with large pixels that take in more light than other imagers on the market. The Bodelin engineering team customized this imager to allow extensive imaging adjustment and LED intensity control. The most impressive feature is the ability to actually stream true pixels at higher resolutions. The ProScope HR2 is the only digital microscope in the world that can do this. Other imagers stream at 640x480 and only interpolate to simulate higher resolutions. The total effect in the ProScope HR2 is live video that appear to be 4 to 5 megapixels in clarity while only using an actual 2 megapixel imager. The new cobalt black handle says this is a serious tool yet the price point is equal to the previous ProScope HR, which will remain in the product line at a lower cost. The ProScope products are currently used in tens of thousands of schools, universities, law enforcement forensic labs, manufacturing quality control, medical and telemedicine since 2001.
The ProScope HR and HR2 are made in Oregon, RoHS compliant (lead-free), UVC plug and play and include free Windows and Mac software. The bundled software will capture stills, video and time-lapse. It can also be used live over the Internet with programs like Skype'" and Apple iChat". ProScope lenses range from 0-10x, 30x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 400x, 500x and 1000x. Bodelin also has adapters for borescopes and analog microscopes. Bodelin also offers three optional measurement software accurate to within 10 microns and pre-calibrated for all ProScope lenses."
BODELIN PROSCOPE HR MICROSCOPE LIVE ON THE WEB
"Lake Oswego, Oregon February 3rd 2009, Bodelin Technologies, manufacturers of the ProScope HR the world’s first handheld USB2 digital microscope, having pushed digital microscopy to provide live real time imaging over the Web.
One of the most popular VOIP, computer telephony services is Skype™ which recognizes UVC plug and play devices like most webcams. Bodelin adopted UVC as a standard with their ProScope HR because it uses the native driver in the later versions of Microsoft and Apple operating systems. "Having a product that didn't require often problematic and corruptible drivers was very important in making sure our customers would have out of the box operation even without software." Said Clay Baker General Manager of Bodelin Technologies. "The added benefit we discovered is that Skype'"' and Apple iChat recognizes UVC devices. A customer can simply plug in their ProScope HR while in a live web chat and show, the person on the other end, real time magnified images at almost any magnification."
Bodelin soon discovered that many of their manufacturing quality control customers would use ProScope HRs during live Skype™ or Apple iChat conferences to show engineers in remote facilities, product defects. Law enforcement and military share real time imaging of fingerprints and other crime scene evidence to a lab in another part of the world. Archaeological labs work with colleagues in the field and can collaborate and share discoveries as they happen. Telemedicine practitioners can view slides anywhere in the world at the moment the slide goes under the ProScope HR."
