The product was commended for developing a personal media that provides continuous enjoyment and makes the microscopic world more accessible. Finally, a high-tech toy that really works. Images appear instantly on the computer screen and squirm if the specimen happens to be alive. With the Intel QX3 Computer Microscope hooked up to a computer screen, images can be digitally projected, enlarged, printed, even emailed. Attach it to a PC or laptop via USB port and view images up to 200 times on the computer screen.
Software lets kids add special effects to images on the screen.
This innovative product merges the magnification power of a microscope with the computer's ability to manipulate images. Thanks to the Intel Play QX3 Computer Microscope, kids can magnify any object, display it on their home computer and creatively manipulate the image. It's rugged and well designed, with a smoothly rotating barrel that lets you choose among the three magnifications. It's also an electronic tour de force, with a USB video camera in the head. The camera automatically adjusts to a very wide variety of lighting conditions, even to supplemental lighting sources.
