Cordless Digital Microscope DG-3x

Introduction

30% Brighter LCD Screen

Compared to previous model (DG-3), DG-3x has TFT liquid crystal whose brightness has increased by 30%. The view angle has expanded and the visibility rate has improved.
You can improve accuracy of analysis by using high resolution image taken with 2.3 MP CCD which can meet a wide variety of needs from observation at the site to research and development.

Scales, grids and magnification indicators on a screen

Scale and magnification are shown at lower right of the monitor. You can clarify magnification of the object at the time of shooting by making it a yardstick of the size of the object at the time of viewing or by recording the object while indicating scale magnification ratio.

By using the 7 additional scales (with Grid Editor software), you can confirm quality acceptance/rejection criteria and size of the problematical part which are difficult in judgment at the site, the finish of the product and so on.

Versatile function

Light and easy to carry
Photo

With its compact design, it is as light as 490g. (When battery and CF card installed) Power source is a lithium-ion battery or an AC adaptor. You can shoot a magnified picture everywhere you want.

Touch and View
Photo

Just touch the lens to the object and you can take a picture easily. You can observe an object as it is even if the object is difficult to carry or even if it cannot be disassembled, cut or processed.

Data can be put into a CF card.

Recorded JPG data can be connected with outside devices including your PC printer thanks to the CF card.

Output to an outside monitor
Photo

Many people can view the image together with TV monitor. You can record moving pictures if you connect DG-3x to a DVD recorder.

Easy to focus
Photo

You can confirm focus if you zoom the image on the monitor temporarily before you pop the shutter. A focus indicator shows how the adjustment condition of the focus is. Anyone can shoot a vivid image easily.

Options
Photo You can construct the most suitable observation system to achieve the purposes by using various lenses of different magnification and lighting methods. Compatible with a C-mounted lens, an endoscope and a microscope too.
