Choose for the way you work
For frequent changes of magnification and focus, Smart G-Scope puts four modes, autofocus and click-to-focus at your fingertips. For more pixels in each photo, the AM7115MZT captures 5 MP images. For uneven surfaces, Smart G-Scope and the AF4915ZT offer EDOF, which combines several focus positions into one clearer image.
Four modes, switched in an instant
Select 40×, 100×, 180× or 250×, then position the microscope within that mode’s working range. Each label is the maximum magnification for that mode; the actual magnification depends on focus and distance.
