New from LECO! Olympus DSX Series Opto-Digital Microscopes*   

See into another dimension with the DSX Series of opto-digital microscopes, which combine  advanced optics and the latest digital technology in one user-friendly system. Instead of looking through eyepieces, everything is controlled by touch screen, which takes the operator through the process from inspection to measurement to analysis to final report. 

 

Features include:  

• A preview screen that displays a selection of preview images based on different optical techniques for you to choose 
• Simple operation, with selectable modes for both new and experienced users
• Optical zoom, allowing you to seamlessly enlarge and reduce the sample surfaces   
• Easy operation that produces high-resolution images, all viewable captured or live with the touch of a button
