BigC Digital Microscopes – CES 2009



Ces-2009-bigcWhile we were exploring the floor at CES we came across a company called BigC, and what first appeared as a novelty item we quickly realized that BigC had a USB powered Microscope that was capable of 10x-200x while this does not seem like a lot that is plenty of amplification for electronic circuit examination.

Check out this interview with a pretty good demonstration of their technology. Wish I had Andy’s eyeball footage that would have been a YouTube Moment.
