At The One Stop Nature Shop we have the largest
retail display of microscopes in the UK, with our range of digital microscopes
taking centre stage. They are often the first thing visitors notice upon
entering the shop, with the high magnification digital microscopes connected to
large 27" displays.
But what is a Dino-Lite?
and what makes them so good? Read on to find out...
Originally from Taiwan,
Dino-Lite's are now distributed on every continent (Other than Antarctica....)
and their success and popularity has led to the creation of a wide range of
models.
The ranges available to
One Stop Nature Shop customers consist of:
"Basic"
(£105-£227) - For general purpose applications, where the high image resolution and advanced hardware and software features are not strictly necessary, the Dino-Lite basic series is a good choice. These Dino-Lite models are affordable and an easy-to-use, but still have the same durability and quality as the more advanced Dino-Lite product series. A basic version of the proprietary DinoCapture software is included with each Dino-Lite. The magnification of the microscopes goes from 10x to 70x to around 200x.
"Professional" (£313-£399) - Dino-Lite Professional digital microscopes give professional users high picture quality as well as comprehensive measurement functions. The 1.3 megapixel image sensor provides a high resolution and sharp picture, with a large field of view. A broad range of models is available in the Professional series including long working distance, high magnification and models with adaptable polarisation.
"Pro+ 5 megapixel" (£651-£741) - The Dino-Lite 7013 HR models provide crystal clear high resolution images of superior quality. The 5 megapixel sensor makes it possible to display microscopic images, without loss of quality, on large screens or where images should be printed. All 7013 models come in robust aluminium alloy housing for enhanced protection. With the DinoCapture 2.0 software package, you can save images and videos, make time lapse recordings and perform calibrated measurements.
"TV/VGA" (£296) - For working in environments where you do not want to use a computer, or when a real-time video stream is required, a Dino-Lite with DVI, VGA or direct TV connection might be the best solution. The Dino-Lite series with VGA connection can be plugged directly into a computer monitor (VGA screen) and the DVI and TV models can be connected directly to the TV screen. A great advantage of the High-Speed-Real-time models is that they offer a high frame rate of up to 60 frames per second; ideal in siutiations where real time images are vital.
All Dino-Lite digital microscopes are compatible with the latest Windows and Mac operating systems and also backwards compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP and older Mac operating systems.
As with a lot of equipment seeing is believing, and this applies to the Dino-Lite range as well. So please follow the links below to the relevant Dino-Lite range that is of interest to you or pop into our shop at Burnham Deepdale to experience Dino-Lite digital microscopes first hand.
