Working Distances

The Working Distance (WD) is the distance between the end of the Dino-Lite handheld microscope camera and the object being viewed. The AM4517 series comes with two styles of working distances: 

Standard Working Distance

Standard working distance model AM4517MZT offers 20x – 220x magnification.

At the lowest magnification of 20x, you will be able to visualize 19.5 x 14.7mm from 59.5mm away. Visit our charts tab on the AM4517MZT product page for more information.

Long Working Distance

The Long Working Distance (LWD) feature is a lens system designed to provide magnification at a longer distance compared to the standard working distance. Long working distance model AM4517MZTL offers 10x – 140x magnification.
At 20x, you will also be able to visualize 19.5 x 14.7mm, but from 115mm away. Visit the Charts tab on the AM4517MZTL product page for more information

AMR

MicroTouch

MicroTouch is a touch sensitive area which can be used to capture images instead of using a keyboard and mouse. This sensor can also be set for autofocus, to start/stop recording video, read a barcode, or switch LEDs. The software also allows users to disable the MicroTouch, or set to single or double touch to trigger.

Scroll Lock 

Scroll Lock is useful for users who wish to remain at a constant magnification. The scroll lock can be disengaged by changing the lock to the unlocked position easily, however, it is secure enough to not disengage on its own.

Flexible Light Control (FLC)

FLC Flexible Lighting Control provides lighting adjustment options including intensity settings from 1-6, as well as the ability to turn on or off LED’s by quadrant. 

Polarization

Polarization can be switched on/off or can be adjusted to offer full or half polarization for controlling glare.

Optical Lens

Unlike off-brand models, Dino-Lite uses a high-quality glass lens to provide superior optics. With a glass lens, there is less distortion compared to plastic lenses. 

Interchangeable Caps

Each end cap helps with lighting or providing the proper distance when using it as a handheld.

We recommend the paired use of a stand for better image stability and overall experience.
