Digital microscope is one that allows you to send and save images from your microscope to your computer.

There are a number of ways to capture images with a microscope. You can use a dedicated digital microscope, a consumer digital camera with a special camera adapter or a specially designed digital camera mounted on a traditional microscope.

These popular microscopes have built-in cameras. Some offer digital output only, others both digital and video. Use these as regular microscopes or send microscopic images directly to your computer or video monitor.
