Portable cradle stand that includes a base unit with two insert adapters providing three “hands free” fixed working distance and magnification options. Ideal for collectors, hobbyists, graphic artists as well as in the home and classroom. The stand is designed so that the Dino-Lite digital microscope (excluding polarizer “AM”+”ZT” models) simply slides into either the base itself for near inspection/higher magnification or into one or both of the “stackable” insert adapters for greater working distance/lower magnification.

When using a base+single adapter an entire USA penny can be viewed while using the base+both adapers allows an entire USA quarter to be viewed. The clear acrylic cutaway base design allows easy accessibility of tools and light to the observed object.
