3. Οδηγίες λειτουργίας
The Dino-Lite AM2111 is designed for ease of use, whether handheld or mounted on a stand.
3.1. Ρύθμιση μεγέθυνσης
The AM2111 offers an adjustable optical magnification range from 20x-50x, and can achieve up to 200x magnification without needing to change lenses. Magnification is primarily controlled by the distance between the microscope's lens and the specimen, and fine-tuned with the focus dial.
- Lower Magnification (Long Working Distance): When the microscope is further away from the specimen, it provides a lower magnification, a larger field of view, and a higher depth of field. This is ideal for observing larger areas or objects.
- Higher Magnification (Short Working Distance): As you move the microscope closer to the specimen, the magnification increases, resulting in a smaller field of view and lower depth of field. This allows for detailed examination of microscopic features.

3.2. Λήψη εικόνων και βίντεο
The DinoCapture/DinoXcope software provides intuitive controls for capturing data:
- Στατικές εικόνες: Click the camera icon within the software to capture a snapshot of the live view. Images can be saved in formats such as BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG, TIF, RAS, PNM, TGA, PCX, MNG, WBMP, JP2, JPC, PGX (Windows) or JPEG, PNG (Mac).
- Εγγραφή βίντεο: Use the video recorder function to capture live video footage. Videos can be saved in WMV, FLV, SWF formats (Windows).
- Time-Lapsed Video: The software also supports time-lapsed video recording for observing changes over time.
3.3. Viewing Slides
The AM2111 can be used to view microscopic slides. Place the slide directly under the microscope's lens and adjust the distance and focus for clear observation. The software allows for advanced image processing and annotation.
