How do I use the Dino-Lite Digital Microscope?

Part A.

1. Place the illuminated specimen on the center of the microscope stage.
2. Always start observing using the lowest magnification with the microscope.
3. Aim the specimen through the objective lens.
4. Focus the microscope by slowly turning the coarse Adjustment Focus Knob, for different magnifications, until an image forms ,slowly adjust the focus back and forth to get the best focus, or to reveal hidden structure at different depths of the specimen being examined.
5. To increase magnification, rotate the magnifications or the Objective Lens depending on the models of the Microscope
6. Focusing becomes more critical when using higher magnifications as the objective lens would need to come closer to the specimen to obtain a focus.
7. Use the same techniques cautions in coarse and fine focusing as described above and use care so that the Objective Lens does not come in direct contact with the specimen when achieving a final focus.
8. CLick on “picture” button or “video” button from DinoCapture software for taking the picture you want or recording the video.
9. What are the applications for Dino digital microscopes? Industrial Inspection, Scientific, teaching tool, Skin Check, Scalp Check, Textile Inspection, Jewelry Inspection, Coin Inspection, Printing Inspection, Reading Aid, Web cam for Online chatting, and more.

Part B.

How would we know what magnification to choose for our imaging products?
Always start observing using the lowest magnification with the microscope.
Adjust the objective lens or magnification knob until the desired image comes into focus.
Then increase magnification gradually until satisfied.

To reduce glare simply change the point of view the angle of either the object or the scope by a few degrees.
On models AM311S and higher you are also able to turn off the LED lights if desired.

The TV Video models utilize NTSC analog format which provides “no-delay” images, whereas the USB models use a digital format which may cause a slight delay when focusing.

The current DinoCapture measurement functions have been tested by major LCD manufacturers to be
within a 5% margin of error under 200 x magnifications.

When examining LCD panels it may be necessary to apply a thin coat of oil (baby oil, etc) to the panel
surface in order to view sub-pixels. The “hard coating” (HC) applied to the LCD panel at the factory
may make this necessary in order to view the pixels beyond the polarize level.

Use time-lapsed capture function problem under Windows OS-
Cannot start after using time-lapsed capture function. only shows dino-lite logo and hangs there.
Possible cause: dino-lite accidentally created a corrupted .avi file from time-lapsed capture
solution: Search this particular .avi file, find and delete it.
