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.
