Examining Blood Cells with Dino-Lite Microscopes

AM73515MT8A with RK-10A stand, MS15X-S2 XY Base, and BL-CDW backlight stage

Users with existing traditional microscopes can use DinoEye eyepiece cameras to observe and capture images of what is seen through the eyepiece. Dino-Lite handheld models can also view slides, either through handheld use or with a stand at high magnifications., Oobservation and image capture is easily performed with the included software which allows additional features such as measurement.

Viewing blood cells with Dino-Lite handheld

Setup A (recommended): AM73515MT8A with RK-10A, MS15X-S2, and BL-CDW
Setup B: AM73515MT8A with RK-06FA, MS15X-S2, and BL-CDW
Setup C: AM73515MT8A with RK-04F

Dino-Lite handheld models are used in laboratory settings, combined with a stand, viewing laboratory subjects can be done easily with the ability to capture images and videos. For viewing blood cells, Setup A provides the most precise XYZ movements and best results when using a proper combination of coaxial lighting. Both the AM73515MT8A and BL-CDW backlight offer darkfield and brightfield options which allow users to easily identify bacteria, protozoans, and distinguish between red and white blood cells. The AM73515MT8A also offers 5MP high resolution and a magnification range of 700x-950x. Keep in mind that Dino-Lite microscopes use a glass lens and optical magnification similar to traditional microscopes. Using the full-screen 2X Digital Zoom feature found in the free imaging software at 950x mag with 5MP resolution, users can achieve 1900x magnification with 1.3MP resolution.

Capillaroscopy for Examing Microcirculation

Capillaroscopy is a non-invasive, easy and safe diagnostic technique designed to evaluate small vessels of the microcirculation in the nail fold. It can reveal both the general architecture of capillary rows and fine details of particular vessels.

Selecting the right scope

Handheld digital videocapillaroscopes such as the Dino-Lite AF4115-N2UT (10x – 220x), AF4515-N4UT (430x – 470x), and AM4113-N5UT (500x), capillaroscopy provide  precise qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the microcirculation and is a valuable tool in a rheumatologists’ daily practice.

The AF4115-N2UT  with a maximum magnification of 220x is the recommended choice for its versatility and ease of use. It can be used in any situation, from bedside examinations to patients with severe flexion contractures. The new WF4115-N2UT(W) version offers Wi-Fi wireless connection for added portability.

Keep in mind the use case for a scope is usually for quick simple examinations, therefore we highly recommend the use of the AF4115N2UT (10x – 220x) as opposed to the higher magnification microscopes unless the high magnification is absolutely necessary. High magnification use is a lot more involved, requiring absolute stability, and more user patience as the focal plane is much thinner, however, with longer user experience, the high magnification use is possible.
