• Shutter: Global shutter for distortion‑free images of moving or vibrating subjects
• Illumination: White light, 8 LEDs with enhanced flexible LED control (eFLC)
• Optical / image features: Adjustable polarizer, AMR, EDOF, EDR, DPQ (auto/manual refocus), Microtouch
• Interface & video: USB 2.0 Type‑C, 30 fps at full resolution; software trigger supports 1–20 fps live preview control
• Housing & dimensions: Anodised aluminium housing; 130 mm (H) × 33 mm (D); approx. 120 g
• Included accessories: Close, diffuser, opal diffuser, extended open, long, open, sidelight front caps; Type‑C to Type‑C and Type‑C to Type‑A screw‑lock cables (1.8 m)

Practical benefits and intended uses

• See, measure, document: Global shutter plus AMR and calibrated measurement tools ensure repeatable, traceable results for production control and failure analysis.
• Electronics inspection and surface analysis: 10×–220× covers solder joints, component pads and surface finishes while polarisation reduces glare on reflective boards.
• Training and demonstrations: 16:9 field and software‑triggered frame‑rate control make live presentations and recorded procedures straightforward.

Design and handling

• Robust, compact form: Anodised aluminium housing offers EMI shielding and mechanical protection while keeping weight low for handheld use.
• Precise lighting control: eFLC splits LEDs into quadrant groups with 32 brightness levels each, allowing tailored contrast for textured or glossy samples.
• Focus and depth tools: DPQ focus acquisition and EDOF stacking reduce refocus cycles and produce images with extended depth of field for uneven surfaces.
• Ready to use: Multiple front caps support close work, diffuse lighting and long‑cap setups without extra purchases.

Software, compatibility and workflow

• DinoCapture 2.0 / 3.0 support: image formats BMP, PNG, TIF, JPG and video export to MP4; measurement and calibration functions included for documentation workflows.
• System requirements: Windows 10 / 11; Intel Core i5 6th Gen or AMD Ryzen 5 1000 series or higher recommended; 4 GB RAM minimum; 150 MB free storage.
• Live and low‑latency options: 30 fps full resolution; software trigger and global shutter reduce motion artefacts for moving specimens.

Which model fits your task?

• Entry models: economical, robust 1.3 MP devices are ideal for basic inspection and training — cost‑effective choices for wide teams or multiple workstations.
• Core all‑rounders: 2.0 MP to 5 MP models deliver precise documentation and reliable measurement for routine quality control.
• High‑end must‑haves: 8 MP devices, Edge Plus series, USB 3.0, HDMI/DVI output and very high magnifications are absolutely necessary for every laboratory that requires top‑tier documentation, wide field‑of‑view imaging and advanced processing features.

Accessories and setup recommendations

• For reproducible results combine with a stable stand such as the RK‑06 or RK‑10; for fine focus at high magnification a precision stand or cross stage is strongly recommended.
• Polariser and appropriate front cap selection drastically improve images on reflective or structured samples.
