This microscope has a built in DVM

the coming microscope-measurement-signal-generator convergence is gonna be LIT. Needs a sillyscope and a spectrum analyzer.

[@rogerp5816]

What a great idea to have a DVM on screen so you don't have to look away when probing a PCB.

[@KeritechElectronics]

Clever and practical. It may not be a Fluke, but still a good thing to have. And speaking of Fluke... it would be nice to see a microscope that accepts display from the Fluke remote display meters (233 etc.).

Those clip leads are insane. Everything else seems to be well executed.

[@Manf-ft6zk]

When such an instrument has almost everything built in, what about a little fan to keep the soldering fume off the lens. The ideal place for the lens is right above the soldering location.

I mean if you ever run out of room on your bench for a microscope my bench has a perfect spot for one. And I'll always make sure that it's calibrated. ha!

[@frednitney5831]

Keeping it calibrated should be easy, since I'm sure they include a full service manual complete with schematic, theory of operation, and calibration instructions. Not.

[@hanksmith3628]

Tell them to add an oscilloscope!

[@tvelektron]

Interesting, but i do not measure through microscope very often. It is more about soldering and probing for cracked solder here 🤔

[@hyoenmadan]

Would be nice if it had a data serial interface to hook a real multimeter like a fluke, to the scope osd pip.

Making a new red lead doesn't look very hard. Remove the clip and attach it to a red wire and a red croc clip. In general though, a DMM is pretty agnostic about polarity, so does it matter all that much? The 80% use case will be the negative lead clipped to ground and the positive lead, without the clip, roving about taking measurements.
