DINO-LITE PRODUCT INFORMATION

The Dino-Lite USB Microscope

Dino-Lite offers a wide range of compact and high-quality USB microscopes. The software of Dino-Lite (Windows and partly MAC support) allows you to have the live-view on your PC monitor and save microscopic pictres and videos with a single click. Further, the software allows you to perform measurements and calibrate the device befor the measurement. Finally, Dino-Lite offers a wide range of accessoires which cover almost every industrial and scientific application.

Dino-Lite overview of Models and Functions

For your better orientation you can find in the following tables a categorisation of the Dino-Lite models and the properties of each category.

Dino-Lite Universal

The Dino-Lite Universal series provides a broad range of products with the highest image quality, as well as very user-friendly software with comprehensive measurement functions, and several unique hard and software features to satisfy the most demanding user.

This range consists of Dino-Lite models with a USB connection with a magnification of up to 200 times and an image resolution of 1.3 megapixel or 5 megapixel. For working with reflective objects you can choose the models with the built-in polarization filter with adaptable polarization. For the best look and feel and enhanced durability we offer models in robust aluminum alloy housing.

The Dino-Lite Edge series is a special category within the Universal range, the Edge series provide an even better image quality and greater flexibility. The high-quality optics provide a very sharp, bright and natural color image with very low aberration and vignetting. The exchangeable caps provide for even more flexibility for use in all kinds of professional applications.

* EDOF = Extended Depth of Field through software-supported automatic (or optional manual) capture/stacking of an image series. A series of images with different focus are captured (within seconds!) and stacked from the software. During stacking, the software selects then from each captured image only the sharp parts and builds a single sharp image.
EDR = Extended Dynamic Range. Sometimes, in images with strong contrast (for example, region over-exposed by reflection), not all image regions are correctly exposed – some information may remain invisible. With this technique, over- or underexposed image areas are corrected by the software and the recorded image can reproduce the entire dynamic range better.
FLC= Flexible LED Control. The light intensity of the LEDs can be adjusted through the software on six different brightness levels - the selected LED brightness level affects all switched-on LEDs. Furthermore, a sector control of the LEDs is available: the eight LEDs are divided into 4 sectors (two adjacent LEDs form a sector). You can turn each sector on and off separately. FLC-enabled Dino-Lite models achieve the greatest flexibility in terms of lighting control.
AMR= Automatic Magnification Reading - the device submits the magnification used during capture to the software automatically, so theuser does not need to enter it manually during measurement.

Dino-Lite with High Magnification

Dino-Lite models within the High Magnification series exceed a magnification of 200 times and offer magnifications of 400x, 500x or even a dazzling 900 times. Microscopes in this range offer an image resolution of 1.3 megapixel or 5 megapixel, a USB connection and include the user-friendly DinoCapture software. Models with built-in polarizer to reduce reflection or models with an extra robust metal housing are also available.

One of the top models is the Dino-Lite AM4515T8 model. With up to 900x magnification and high-resolution optics it reveals details as small as 1.5 micrometer (µm). It also features a greater working distance at high magnification making it easier to watch and move very small objects under the microscope.

These unique features make the Dino-Lite High Magnification models great inspection tools for biomedical and scientific research, material analysis, electronics inspection, or any similar application that requires high magnification, versatility and mobility.

Dino-Lite mit Long Working Distance (LWD)

For tasks where extra distance to the object and a larger field of view is required Dino-Lite offers a series of Long Working Distance microscopes. The extra working distance and larger field of view make this series an ideal solution for tasks such as repair, rework or assembly or for working with bulky objects or fragile objects that cannot be touched.

Microscopes in this range offer an image resolution of 1.3 megapixel or 5 megapixel, a USB connection and include the user-friendly DinoCapture software. Models with built-in polarizer to reduce reflection or models with an extra robust metal housing are also available. The maximum magnification reaches 140x.

Dino-Lite with Special Lighting

Many specialized applications in science, forensics, industry, engineering or in the medical field, require special lighting. For many specific applications Dino-Lite models were created with ultraviolet lighting, infrared lighting, fluorescent lighting or even combinations between the different lighting types.

The widely acclaimed series of Dino-Lite fluorescence microscopes are considered to be the world's smallest fluorescence microscopes. Compared to the traditional fluorescence microscopes with band-pass type of emission filters, the Dino-Lites high-pass emission filters provide visibility and sensitivity over a larger range of the fluorescence wavelengths.

For models with mixed light types (e.g. "IR-UV") the following applies. Half of the 8 LEDs belong to the first group (e.g. UV) and the other half to the other group (e.g. IR). You can switch between the groups using the software whereby only one of both LED groups can be active during device operation.

Please consider that many of the special light models may be not offered for online purchase - just let us know which model you need and we will come back to you with an offer and the lead time.

Dino-Lite Wireless

Take advantage of the wireless version of Dino-Lite - without compromising on quality or specifications. With the Dino-Lite Wireless you can switch between wireless and wired by replacing the removable module of the microscope.

Models of the WF series consist of the main body, the wireless (WF-20) and the wired module. Depending on the application requirements, you can connect one or the other module and work wireless or wired.

AF series models consist of the main body and the detachable wired module. You can purchase the WF-20 WiFi module separately for this variant. Depending on the application requirements, you can connect one or the other module and work wireless or wired. This variant makes more sense if you e.g. use several Dino-Lite microscopes with different features but only want to buy the Wifi module once.
