Aven Tools 26700-218-PLR Mighty Scope V2 USB Digital Microscope with Polarizer
Aven Tools 26700-218-PLR Mighty Scope V2 USB Digital Microscope with Polarizer
The Aven 26700-218-PLR Mighty Scope V2 combines a 5MP USB digital microscope with a polarizer attachment, adjustable white LED illumination and a fine-focus metal stand. The polarizer helps reduce glare and hot spots from shiny, reflective parts, making this configuration useful for inspecting solder joints, metal surfaces and other details that can be obscured by reflections.
View the subject on your computer, adjust illumination on the microscope body and make small height adjustments with the fine-focus mount. Aven lists approximately 10X–200X screen magnification based on a 24-inch monitor; displayed magnification depends on the viewing setup.
Best Uses / Applications
- Electronics inspection where reflections obscure component or solder-joint details.
- Close examination of reflective metal parts and surface finishes.
- Image and video documentation for quality-control or repair records.
- Training and shared inspection using a computer display rather than microscope eyepieces.
- Comparative viewing and software-assisted measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the polarizer do?
It helps reduce glare and hot spots from shiny or reflective objects. Results depend on the subject and lighting conditions.
Is this a complete microscope or just an attachment?
This is the microscope configuration with a fine-focus stand, mount and polarizer attachment, not a polarizer-only accessory.
What magnification does it provide?
Aven lists approximately 10X–200X on a 24-inch monitor. Screen size and viewing setup affect displayed magnification.
Can the illumination be adjusted?
Yes. The body-mounted brightness control adjusts the eight white LEDs and allows the illumination to be turned on or off.
How is the microscope powered?
The supplied specification table lists 5 V DC power through the USB port.
Does it work with Mac and Windows?
Aven lists Windows 10/11 and Mac OS X 10.11 or above, with Mac and Windows software versions. Verify compatibility with your specific computer before ordering.
Can I save images and take measurements?
The MicroViewer PLUS download supports image/video capture and measurement tools, including line, angle and circle functions. Calibrate and validate measurements for your application.
What is the working distance?
The page's reference table lists 190 mm at 10X, 82 mm at 20X, 43 mm at 30X and 26 mm at 40X. See the source note above regarding the table heading.
