This computer microscope takes advantage of state-of-the-art video imaging and computer technology allowing amateur scientists to explore their environment with optical microscopy at magnifications up to 200x. The real secret behind this amazing toy microscope is the active pixel sensor CMOS "camera on a chip" video technology that Intel and Mattel have effectively used to shrink the on-board digital camera into a single 2 1/2-inch diameter circuit board that fits snugly within the microscope body. Electrical power for the camera system and sp...

This is a physics laboratory in your computer, basically a detailed simulation engine that allows the student to build mechanical models and see how they react. Using a graphical interface (similar to a draw program ) he/she can create their own models or import many of the preprogrammed models on the CD or available on the web. It has numerous meters and graph capabilities to capture your results. With the ability to model EM fields, springs, planetary motion and more Interactive Physics covers most of a first year Physics Course.
