Edge Series Interchangeable Caps

Dino-Lite Edge Series, including Edge 3.0 and EdgePLUS scopes, have an interchangeable cap feature and include various caps.

N3C-O
Open Cap
(9.5mm)
Eases the task of finding and holding a fixed focus when using the Dino-Lite in handheld mode.
N3C-E
Contact Cap
(12.5mm)
For handheld operation. When the end of the N3C-E cap is in contact with the subject, the following approximate magnifications are reached when in focus:

Standard working distance
10x – 220x models:
Flat surface: ~50x, ~200x
Skin/scalp: ~60x,~180x

Expanded Magnification standard working distance
10x – 330x models:
Flat surface: ~80x, ~320x
Skin/scalp: ~100x,~285x

High magnification models:
MT4: ~450x
MT8: ~730x
N3C-EB
Contact Cap (12.5mm)
Provides light shielding, reducing interference from ambient light or eye contact with the light source during fluorescence or UV microscopy.
Included with select special lighting models only.
N3C-C
Sealed Cap
(9.5mm)
To protect the lens from small amounts of moisture and debris.
N3C-L
Long Cap
(30mm)
For handheld operation. Microscope will focus at approximately 30x (except ZTL) when edge of cap touches surface.
N3C-LB
Long Cap Black
(30mm)
This 30 mm black cap blocks ambient light for clearer observations of fluorescence emissions at low magnification.
Included with select special lighting models only.
N3C-D
Diffuser Cap
(14mm)
This is a translucent cap that partially softens the LED light.
N3C-D2
Opal Diffuser Cap (14mm)
This cap softens and evenly distributes the LED light.
N3C-OB
Open Cap
(9.5mm)
This 9.5 mm black cap blocks ambient light for clearer observations of fluorescence emissions.
Included with select special lighting models only.
N3C-S
Side light Cap (14mm)
The sidelight cap blocks some LEDs, creating uneven illumination that enhances surface texture and depth, especially at short working distances.

Included caps vary per model, see chart below or contact us for more details
