Product Description

For a long time using cheaper digital cameras with a microscope and a computer has not been quite as straightforward as some suppliers have claimed. Mainly because of differences between computers that has produced difficulties with the drivers needed to get these cameras to work. No more. The minigrab is completely driverless and now correctly belongs to the 'plug and play' group of products. You simply plug the camera lead into a USB2.0 port on your laptop or PC (sadly not suitable for MAC at the moment) and it will be recognised and installed by your laptop/computer in exactly the same way as a memory stick. You can then display the images from your microscope in any video software you already have on your computer or use the Minisee software supplied with the camera. You can take video clips and still images (as jpegs) and store these on your computer. The Minigrab will fit all of the microscopes in the Apex range. An ingenious accessory at an exceptional price. Microscope in picture is Apex Practitioner, not included with the minigrab

There is a major omission from the product description. The camera only captures `1/5th of what you will see down a x10 eye piece'. So while it is easy to set up and the images produced are excellent they are not what was hoping for. If I had known this I would not have bought the product.

I've had this camera for about 6 months, after trying all sorts of image capture. This is so easy to use, and it's really compact, just take out the eyepiece and insert the camera. I use it via USB onto a PC for both still pictures and video. I haven't had to install any software on the PC, just use the software that came with the operating system. I use it with the Apex Examiner microscope and also with higher resolution microscopes with equal success. Very happy with it.

Brilliant little camera, mine works via USB with the software program supplied with the camera. Use my Minigrab with The Apex Researcher Microscope.
