About DinoCapture 1.0 / 2.0 measurement feature.
The Dino-Lite Pro microscope has higher measurement accuracy at higher magnifications such as 50x or 200x. Generally you can expect up to about 3% deviation from the correct measurement results. Software features such as the picture-in-picture magnifier or automatic edge detection can lower the deviation to 2% or less.
You can calibrate the software to acquire more accurate measurements. (Only with the measurement models of the 4xx/4xxx/7xxx series).
About Dino-Capture Accuracy of Measurement
Calibration averaging procedure in DinoCapture 2.0
By making several calibration profiles at different magnification levels, the software can average the calibrated data to better improve the accuracy of measurements taken within the calibrated magnification range We recommend calibrating at a minimum of 3 magnifications level.

How to calibrate the dino-lite microscope
Limitations of the measurement feature:
-The measurements only can measure two dimensions (X,Y).
The term Mil means one thousandth of an inch (0.001 inch).
A circular mil is the area of a circular wire with a diameter
of one mil, 0.001″. …
Current we can select mm = 1,000um (micrometer / microns) = 0.1 cm
mil = 0.001 inch.
inch= 1,000 mil.
um = 0.001 mm
mm = 1,000 um (micrometer / microns)

Measurement with Dino-Eye Eyepiece
How to do measurements with Dino-Eye
When measuring with the Dino-Eye eyepiece, type in the magnification value from the objective lens. You must calibrate first to receive proper measurements. When using the calibrated measurements, please disregard the calibrated magnification value. Below are instructions on how to calibrate the Dino-Eye.
1. In the live video window select the Calibration drop down menu (or click on the calibration button.
2. Select “New Calibration Profile”.
3. A small window will pop up. Give the profile a name.
4. Click “Continue Calibration” when done naming the profile.
5. In the new menu. Press “F8” or “Freeze” button to freeze the calibration object.
6. Enter the magnification value of the objective lens. Press Enter when finished.
7. A red bar with two blue dotes will appear with pink guidance lines, you are now ready to calibrate.
8. Click on one of the blue dots to start moving the blue dot to your desired location.
9. Click again to stop.
10. Click on the other blue dot to start setting the other end point.
11. Click on the left mouse button again to stop.
12. When the correct distance is measured, enter the known distance.
13. Enter the unit of measure by selecting the “Unit” dropdown box.
14. Press “Finish” when done.
15. Now the Dino-Eye is calibrated to your microscope.
