Attaching a camera to your microscope is an excellent way to capture and share your observations. However, there isn’t a single method that works for every type of microscope, so it’s important to know what you need before you begin.
STEM education is transforming classrooms by blending Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics into real-world learning.
Depth of field refers to the area in an image that appears sharp and in focus. Everything outside this zone will appear blurry. A narrow depth of field can be great for focusing on a specific subject or area of interest, but it often means you miss out on seeing the bigger picture. That’s where Dino-Lite’s EDOF microscopes come in—they let you overcome this limitation and create an image that is completely in focus.
If you’ve been exploring microscopes or objective lenses, you’ve probably encountered terms like infinity-corrected objectives or infinity optical system, especially with high-end models. While the name might sound technical, it refers to a specific optical design that offers significant advantages for...
Don’t let dirty optics ruin your microscope experience! No matter how high-tech your microscope is, it won’t give you the clear images you crave if your lenses are covered in dirt and grime. That’s why it’s essential to take good care of your microscope’s optical system.
Since the days of Ancient Rome, collectors have tried a variety of tools – from magnifying glasses to lamps with different lights – to get close-ups of their coins.

Vinyl records have made a notable comeback in recent years. But while you’re attracted by their distinctive charm, how can you be sure you’re getting the best sound quality? In many cases, subpar sound quality can be traced to the angle of your stylus rake. Poorly aligned elliptical styluses can ‘bump’ into the vertical modulations instead of properly tracking them, leaving you with an inferior audio experience. By using a handheld digital microscope such as the Dinolite AF3113T, you can see well enough to accurately measure the rake angle of your stylus and make adjustments as needed.
Microscope shopping can be overwhelming, especially for newcomers. But fear not! This short guide will shed light on the two main types of microscopes that you'll encounter – stereo and biological (also known as compound). Let’s take a quick look at the differences.
