Introducing our Industry Workhorse microscope: the Dino Lite AM-2111 USB 2.0. This listing is for customers wishing to purchase the microscope alone, without a stand. If you would like to buy the microscope with a stand, please shop our other bundled listings.
This model has a wide field of view and working distance range of up to eight inches.
The microscope is in the shape of a handheld pen with a focus dial at the fingertip, which takes a little bit of force to move so as to not change the focus too dramatically at once.
Images are easily seen on your computer (big screens are even better, of course) instead of through an uncomfortable rubber eyepiece.
When you have your subject in focus, just click your mouse to capture a photo or even record video (select the "Video" tab in the software instead of the "Picture" tab). No more memory cards to put in and take out. It connects to your computer with a USB cable. Your images are instantly placed on your computer, requiring fewer steps and less time than camera connections.
You can even add a helpful caption to your photo to keep your work organized.
The listing price is for one microscope, and a video/image capture software program CD. If you shop around and try to find a similar video/image capture program it would cost $40 to $50, and wouldn't have all of our program’s unique features.
Take close-up photos, and even videos, of your precious coins, stamps, jewelry, metalwork, gemstones, biology, bank notes, watch movements, computer repair parts, art and more.

One Year Warranty against defects in material and workmanship. If microscope is defective it will be repaired or exchanged at no charge. Warranty does not apply to damage due to accident, misuse, abuse, misapplication, or negligence, or damage caused by unauthorized service.
User's Manual: User's Manual: A 31-page user's manual is included on the CD. The user's manual is an Adobe Reader PDF file, not a hard copy printed book version. When the disk is inserted a menu is displayed. The user's manual is available in English, Traditional Chinese, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese and Russian. But the best way to learn the software is to install the program and take some photos and videos, and use the buttons and menu options in the software. Some of our customers take one or two hours while some take less time; it depends on your technical skill and desire. You can always contact us if you need further assistance or if you have questions along the way.
Technical and Optical Information:
Optical Field of View (the visible area that is viewed with the microscope):
The field of view changes when you change the distance between the nozzle and an object. Notice that when the nozzle is touching the object, you can focus two different ranges.
Distance from object to nozzle = Resulting Field of View:
Nozzle touching object at 211X Magnification = ~0.066” L X 0.049” W (1.67mm
X 1.25mm)
Nozzle touching object at 60X Magnification = ~0.23” L X 0.17” W (5.8mm X
4.3mm)
Nozzle 2cm (0.79”) away from object at 30X Magnification = ~0.4” L X
0.27” W (10mm X 7mm)
Nozzle 5.0cm (2.0”) away from object at 20X Magnification = 0.7” L X 0.4”
W (18mm X 10 mm)
Nozzle 10cm (3.9”) away from object at 17X Magnification = 0.9” L X 0.6” W
(23mm X 15mm)
Nozzle 15cm (5.9”) away from object at 15X Magnification = 1.5” L X 0.9” W
(38mm X 23mm)
Nozzle 20cm (7.9”) away from object at 10X Magnification = 1.9” L X 1.5” W
(48mm X 38mm)
Lighting is extremely important, especially with highly reflective targets like jewelry and coins. It helps to use diffuse natural light, and to try to improve lighting more and more, using more and more lighting techniques, to improve your results. The model in this listing does NOT have the ability to control the lights. Our other more expensive models have the ability to turn the LED lights on and off. If lighting will be very important to you, consider our more expensive microscopes in our eBay Store.
