The Levenhuk DTX 800 LCD is a professional digital microscope designed for use in microelectronics, biology, medicine, forensics and materials science. The microscope allows for comfortable and detailed viewing of small organic samples, tiny mechanical elements, plant parts, insects and a variety of other objects. The basic magnification of the microscope ranges from 20x to 300x, but can be increased up to 1500x with the digital zoom.
A 4-megapixel digital camera with a sensitive CMOS sensor produces a high-quality image. The user sees a bright, clear and highly detailed image on a 7-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1024x600 px. This configuration ensures comfortable working without straining the eyes or neck, as is common with conventional microscopes. The camera can also be used to take photos and videos, with several resolution options available. Photos can be taken at 3 MP or 2 MP, with interpolation possible for 16 MP, 12 MP, 10 MP, 8 MP or 5 MP. Videos are recorded in 1440p with a smooth frame rate of 30 frames per second. The Levenhuk DTX 800 LCD supports microSD cards up to 128 GB, which are required for storing the recorded material. A microSD card is not included in the delivery.
The microscope has USB and HDMI interfaces. The USB connection is used to transfer data to a computer and to use the PortableCapture Plus software. The HDMI connection allows output to an external monitor or TV.
Bright LED lighting with adjustable intensity and a polarisation filter expand the microscope's capabilities. The polarisation filter eliminates stray light reflections, which is particularly useful for observing objects with shiny surfaces such as metals, gemstones and jewellery.
The focusing mechanism is manual and has a range of 5–70 mm. The included software allows you to measure objects (line, radius, diameter, angle based on three points) and add drawings and notes to the images.
The Levenhuk DTX 800 LCD microscope is powered by a built-in 2500 mAh lithium-ion battery. A full charge takes 4.5 hours. The microscope then provides 2 hours of uninterrupted operation. A charging adapter is included.
