I use several of the Proscopes daily. There's a diverse array of lenses that are interchangeable, the images are quite useful, and the devices are simple to use. The USB-wired Proscope connects to Mac or Windows computers. The wifi enabled version works only with iOS devices, such as an ipad or iphone. Software is free. Bodelin also offers a micro-mini that attaches to a case that fits specific tablets and phones. I use those as well.
Should anyone be interested, IdentifyUS is an authorized reseller of the Bodelin products.
