The MiniVID® is a special type of digital camera.  It fits right into the eyepiece tube of a microscope.  The USB version sends pictures to your computer via USB cable.  The RCA version sends pictures to your TV/VCR by way of its RCA-type "video-in" cable. 

This makes the Mini-VID very useful in classroom situations or lectures.  The MiniVID uses the latest in CCD camera technology to bring you unparalleled quality for its size and price.

Both versions include an adapter ring that lets it fit in both 23 and 30 mm eyepiece tubes, the two standard sizes.

You need a microscope in order to use the Mini-VID.
