Aven 26700-424-553 Cyclops 4K Digital Microscope with Articulating Arm Stand and 22-Inch Monitor
Aven 26700-424-553 Cyclops 4K Digital Microscope with Articulating Arm Stand and 22-Inch Monitor
The Aven 26700-424-553 Cyclops 4K digital microscope bundle combines an 8-million-pixel CMOS camera, included 4x objective, articulating arm stand and 22-inch LCD HD monitor. The table-clamp mount keeps the microscope support at the bench edge, while two articulating joints and a 360-degree ball joint help position the optics over the inspection area. View through HDMI without a computer or connect to a PC through USB for software-based capture, measurement and annotation.
Bring the microscope over a connector or assembly, adjust its angle, then use the remote to refine focus while watching the screen. When the inspection is finished, move the arm out of the way to reclaim the work area.
Best Uses / Applications
- PCB and electronics inspection: Examine visible solder joints, component placement and connector features.
- Bench-edge inspection stations: Support the microscope from a table clamp rather than a freestanding base in the work area.
- Angled surface examination: Position the ball joint and articulating arm to view accessible features from different directions.
- Assembly and repair documentation: Save still images to MicroSD or use PC software for image and video records.
- Quality-control measurement: Use calibrated software tools to measure and annotate suitable visible features.
- Training and collaborative review: Share the live image on the included 22-inch monitor.

“Cyclops 4K” is the manufacturer's model designation. The supplied table lists 1080p HDMI output, and the included monitor is Full HD, not a 4K display. The 13x–140x displayed magnification reference is based on a 24-inch monitor; this bundle includes a 22-inch monitor, so displayed magnification differs. Calibrate measurements for the configuration in use.
