Dino-Lite’s handheld, digital microscopes now offer both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 options. The company says the hardware and software deliver fast frame rates without sacrificing image quality. USB 3.0 uses a transfer mode called “SuperSpeed” capable of transferring data up to 5 Gbits/s (625 MB/s). With this improved speed comes improved quality. 

Dino-Lite models with USB 3.0 enable an increase in smooth high-quality imaging up to 45 FPS at 1280 × 960 resolution. SuperSpeed enables users to take advantage of the full power of the Edge Series optics, including improved color accuracy and image quality.

Other features include EDOF, which is an image processing feature designed to automatically capture and combine multiple images at different focus levels to produce a final image with greater depth of field (focus stacking). For high contrast or reflective surfaces, EDR reveals the details of dark or bright areas, by stacking images taken at different exposure levels. AMR displays the current magnification on screen with the included software for Windows or Mac OS. Flexible Lighting Control provides lighting adjustment options including intensity settings from, as well as the ability to turn on or off LEDs by quadrant.
