Once your setup is complete, take a moment to fine-tune the focus. Position your specimen beneath the lens and gently rotate the focus wheel until a clear image comes into view. The Dino-Lite's impressive magnification range makes it ideal for examining a wide variety of samples. Experiment with different angles and distances to discover the optimal viewing position for your subject.
Now, let's delve into capturing those captivating images and videos.
1. Camera Button on Dino-Lite Software
Let's begin with the most common method: utilizing the camera button. Open the DinoCapture software and simply click the camera icon. This straightforward approach facilitates effortless image capture of your specimens with a single click. It is ideal for beginners seeking a quick and easy start.
To record videos, simply press the record button. Gently move the microscope to showcase various aspects of your specimen, creating an engaging and dynamic visual experience.
This method is compatible with a range of Dino-Lite softwares, including DinoCapture 2.0 & DinoCapture 3.0 (for Windows), DinoXcope (for macOS), and DinoConnect (for Android and iOS), enabling you to capture both images and videos across multiple platforms.
2. Keyboard Shortcut Keys
By using the designated keyboard shortcut keys, you can swiftly snap images or record videos without even taking your hands off your samples. This method is particularly useful during intricate examinations where every second counts.
How to use Customize Shortcuts on DinoCapture 2.0
- 1. Go to Settings and select “Customize Shortcut Keys”.
- 2. Find and select the Command you want to use with a shortcut.
- 3. Under “New shortcut key” select the desired shortcut key (At least one box must be checked for any key A-Z,1-0. This does not apply to the F1-F12 keys).
- 4. Click Close.
*Note: The Customize shortcut feature is available on DinoCapture 2.0 software versions 1.5.17 or newer.
3. MicroTouch Feature
If you are looking for an even more intuitive option, try the MicroTouch feature. This touch-sensitive trigger area on the body of the Dino-Lite microscope allows you to take photos or videos just by gently touching it. This hands-free method gives you the freedom to focus on your work without the distraction of clicking on the software.
Direct to TV Models
Some Dino-Lite microscope models that connect directly to a TV or monitor, such as the Dino-Lite AM5218MZT may not have the ability to directly capture images. However, some TVs have a built-in SD card slot and photo capture features. Refer to your TV's instruction manual for specific details.
Many models with a direct TV connection also include a MicroTouch button. To pause the live feed, briefly press and hold the MicroTouch button. Then, use your smartphone to capture a photo of the screen. Press and hold the MicroTouch button again to resume the live view.
Conclusion
There you have it! Whether you prefer clicking the camera button, utilizing keyboard shortcuts, or employing the innovative MicroTouch feature, your Dino-Lite digital microscope offers convenient image capture options.
