Thanko Launches Improved USB Microscope

Judging by the multiple USB powered microscopes that Thanko sells, some folks in Japan are consumed with the need to see their every blemish magnified. Thanko has another USB powered microscope they are offering for sale that allows you to look at objects, skin, hair, in your ears, up your nose and more.

You can use this thing for looking at pretty much anything you can think of in a magnified state. The microscope includes several accessories for looking at different items up close and personal. It also has its own light source for those dark areas where the sun doesn’t shine…ewwww. Software is included that allows you to save your images and compare them over time. I guess you could use the gadget to track that odd mole for growth. The device works with Windows 2000/XP/Vista only and the CMOS sensor is a 1.3megapixel unit with approximately 30x magnification.
