Dino-Lite AM2011 10x~50x, 230x 0.3MP Digital Microscope

Dino-Lite AM2011 10x~50x, 230x 0.3MP Digital Microscope Review



Dino-Lite AM2011 10x~50x, 230x 0.3MP Digital Microscope Feature

  • 0.3 mp with Great Color Resolution
  • 10X - 220X range (dependent on WD)
  • USB 2.0 Output
  • Live imaging - Stills, Video, Time-lapse

The AM2011 houses a 0.3 megapixel digital camera and offers 10x-200x magnification at 640x480 resolution. It contains 4 always-on LED lights and provides live imaging via USB 2.0 and the included DinoCapture software. If more illumination is required, we recommend upgrading to the AM3011 with 8 LED lights or the AM3011T with 8 LED lights and Microtouch technology which allows instant capture of photos and video by simply touching the top of the unit.

In our opinion a key feature is the excellent color resolution which is unparalleled at this price point. It is better than most, more expensive digital microscopes and is achieved by use of a sophisticated jeweler's color balance. The focus mechanism is intriguing. With the microscope placed directly on a specimen, the Dino-Lite focuses at 50x or with a spin of the convenient thumb dial, at 200x.You can vary the magnification by raising the microscope to different heights above the specimen. 

Recommended applications include: PCB inspection, coin and stamp collecting, plant dissection, education, calligraphy, all kinds of collections and – well, plain fun such as inspecting hair follicles or nostrils at home!

Dino-Lite has been selling well through specialty channels and we are delighted to introduce it to the microscopy world. It is a highly versatile digital microscope, which given its range of features and price, makes it a strong choice for both professional and personal applications.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying viewing abilities. A trinocular eyepiece is used to output digital images to an internal or external device such as a camera or monitor. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also use LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.

Aven manufactures optical inspection tools, precision tools, and bench accessories for industrial, scientific, and research applications. The company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI.
