The NIGHTSEA system works best with long working distance Dino-Lite Edge models. Higher magnification units have very short working distances, making it difficult to direct the NIGHTSEA light source onto the subject. Below are four compatible white light models.
Dino-Lite Edge AF4915ZTL
The Dino-Lite Edge 1.3 MP is an all-in-one device that was designed to meet professional applications within 10x - 140x magnifications at longer working distance.
It integrates premium Edge Series features Extended Depth of Field (EDOF), Automatic Magnification Reading (AMR) and Flexible LED Control (FLC).
This Dino-Lite microscope model connects via USB, but can also be wireless with the optional WF-20 Wireless Streamer, adding further versatility. Thanks to a long battery and stable WiFi image transmission, the WF-20 makes it a a completely cordless and portable microscope that is well suited for field applications.
You can also use the WF-20 as a wireless router for staying connected to the internet or network during use.
Dino-Lite Edge AF4115T-GRFBY
This Dino-Lite Edge digital microscope model was designed for applications in which GFP and MCherry are used in the same specimen, so that no switching of microscopes and/or lighting and filters is necessary.
It is optimized for research and viewing objects involving fluorescent objects using 2 different sets of LEDs, 4 Blue LEDs at an excitation of 480nm, and 4 Yellow LEDs at an excitation of 575nm, which are switchable through the software, and emission at 510nm/610nm.
Green fluorescent objects pop out under this handheld microscope and you can clearly see its green glow.
It will magnify up to 220x magnification, depending on working distance.
