A 78-inch USB cable allows positioning flexibility while the Windows-compatible inspection instrument is linked to a computer. Slim Scope comes with software that supports time-lapse imaging, measurements and other image adjustments.

This workbench accessory is practical for industrial quality assurance, R&D prototyping and lab applications.

By creating a wi-fi "hotspot" with a 30-foot range, the innovative Mighty Scope Connect eliminates the need for an Internet connection or wireless network access. This allows sharing with three devices at any location.

Compact new items also include the MiniBrite Pocket Magnifier, a 5x slide-out device with LED lighting, and the MagniFlash Magnifier -- a multipurpose tool with a built-in LED flashlight. Models allow a choice of 5x, 7x, 9x or 11x magnification.

A 2.25x spot lens adds magnification for circuit board assembly, electronics repair, parts inspection, medical use and lab work. The model with UV lighting is suited for forensic analysis, biological studies and other tasks requiring high contrast.

Swiss-made instruments for electronics, scientific, educational and industrial applications avoid ESD, rust and damage risks.

'Continuous process improvements are as important to us as they are to industrial and scientific customers,' says the optical firm's president. Its revamped website showcases professional instruments in a scrolling display.

Applications for these durable tools include prototyping, circuit board stenciling, insulation trimming and other custom tasks. Sharp points and honed cutting edges can accurately trim plastic, wood, cloth, rubber, leather, foam and cardboard.

Corrosion-resistant tools are a best-practice choice for medical device manufacturing, electronics fabrication, biotechnology, hospitals, environmental engineering, food processing, pharmaceutical labs, aerospace facilities and research centers.

Aven is the sole supplier of Vise Grip Pliers not made from carbon alloy steel. Stainless steel tools are recommended for critical environments to avoid ferrous contamination, such as in medical device and electronics manufacturing, as well as labs.

Task-engineered hand tools include 27 pliers and 20 cutters, all with dual leaf springs for comfortable, reliable use. Induction-hardened edges are featured on all cutters.

Portable microscopes are useful for parts inspection and precision assembly or fabrication quality control. Manufacturing engineers can check parts for hairline cracks or other microscopic defects simply by plugging the Mighty Scope into any laptop.

A new accessory for the compact Digital Mighty Scope lets the inspection instrument be positioned for hands-free viewing from any direction and varied heights.

Microscopy photos and white papers with tips on instrument selection and use are part of the social media initiative. Fans can post photos or albums. An iPod giveaway is an incentive to join Aven, Inc. on Facebook.

The second-generation inspection instrument provides polarized light views of electronic components, assembly parts, circuit boards and other items. Users can detect hairline cracks or other microscopic defects.
