YOU know first-hand the challenge of getting students engaged with science and classroom learning.
You also know that many students, especially those with eyeglasses or contacts, often have trouble using traditional microscopes correctly.
Now, ProScope HR — a revolutionary new high-resolution, hand-held, USB 2-compatible microscope — solves both those problems ... and gets students excited about science again!
And with the new ProScopes HR, you can bring affordable, high-resolution microscopic imaging — 1.3 million pixels (1280 X 1024) — into your classroom for your students enjoyment.
Students love this easy-to-use microscope
Conventional microscopes force students to sit at a desk — hunched over the scope as they squint through a lens.
The ProScope HR is lightweight and portable. About six inches long with a one-inch extension, it works much like the instruments doctors use to look into your eyes and ears — very simple and easy to use.
ProScope HR works with a set of interchangeable lenses for up to 400X magnification. An adaptor allows you to add more powerful lenses for greater detail.
Explores nature from any view
A hand-held microscope, ProScope HR gives you greater viewing flexiblity than ordinary classroom microscopes — without slides.
For instance, you can place the ProScope HR under a Petri dish of microorganisms for better viewing. Or hold it over an ant hilll to watch the social interaction of the colony.
Hit the thumb switch, and a ring of six bright LED's instantly illuminates the specimen — creating a spectacularly beautiful image.
Plus, ProScope HR is easy to carry with you for viewing of insects, leaves, and other specimens during field trips.
Makes science class as entertaining as watching TV
Here's the best part of using a ProScope HR: a standard USB 2 connection lets you download, store, and display microscopic images on your desktop or notebook PC screen — Windows or Macintosh — or even using a projector or interactive whiteboard.
By the time your students graduate high school, they will have spent more time watching TV than in the classroom — not to mention countless additional hours playing computer and video games. So nothing gets their attention like an image displayed on a screen.
With the ProScope HR, you can take 1280 X 1024 true color digital images ... or 640 X 480 movies ... at magnification of 1 to 400X. (Your students have probably seen the original ProScope in action on the hit TV series CSI Miami!)
The ProScope HR brings the attention-getting power of the screen to your classroom. And displaying microscopic images on the screen means every student sees the same thing ... enabling you to more accurately and dynamically illustrate the concepts you're teaching.
