Description

Levenhuk DTX 90 is a modern USB digital microscope designed for high-precision work. The microscope is equipped with a 5Mpx camera and provides magnification within the 10x–300x range. The kit includes a special tripod and a stage with a measuring scale (8cm along the x-axis, 7cm along the y-axis) and two clips to secure a sample under the camera.

Levenhuk DTX 90 Digital Microscope delivers images of the highest quality and resolution. The microscope connects to a PC or laptop via a standard USB 2.0 cable. The image processing software that comes with the kit allows for studying specimens and image editing. In addition to image processing features, the program measures the length of the object, its perimeter, radius, diameter, and the angles.

Levenhuk DTX 90 is very easy to use: The microscope does not require any special knowledge or skills. Due to its compact size, it is perfect for home use. If necessary, you can retract a digital camera and use it without a tripod.

The body of the microscope is rubberized, which makes it pleasant to the touch and secures the grip, preventing the device from slipping out of your hands.

Where can I download drivers?

Customer service:

Nikky Nikky (2017.11.27)

Hi! After installation of the software on Windows 10x64, the system says something like ’initial settings not found, calibration required’. What should I do?

Customer service:

We recommend that you remove old drivers and download new ones from here: https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-dtx-90-digital-microscope/ . Drivers can be found in the ’Reference and Downloads’ section of the product card.

Alex Winters (2017.08.05)

Do I understand correctly that this eyepiece should be used together with the Barlow lens that is included in the kit (for example with the 50L Plus microscope). But Rainbow WF16x model can be used directly without the Barlow lens and it will fit well in the ocular tube?

Customer service:

Yes, this is right.

jay p (2017.08.01)

I have lost my CD with the Ap for the Levenhuk DTX 90. Where can I go to find a free download, so I may use this microscope at work.Thanks, Jay

Customer service:

Dear Jay, thank you for your inquiry. You need to open a product page and click on References and Downloads tab. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Kaoru (2017.05.18)

I would like to point the microscope objective in the up direction, and observe samples in a petri dish - is that possible, to remove the microscope tube and reattach pointing up?

Customer service:

Dear Kaoru, thank you for interest in Levenhuk products. Digital DTX microscopes are designed for observing opaque objects only. For observing transparent objects in the Petri dish, we'd recommend our Levenhuk Rainbow D50L PLUS 2M Digital Microscope (SKU 69081).
Is there any additional information you might need?

Alex Piters (2017.04.01)

Hello! I have two questions: 1. Does your software allow to measure the samples? 2. What is the accuracy of the measurements? Thankyou in advance!

Jack Cope (2017.03.02)

The description says “Comes with special software for measuring linear sizes, areas, angles and radiuses of studied samples” how exactly measurements are accomplished, what are the accuracy and units? Do I need a calibration scale or is it present? These point are not quite clear.

Customer service:

Measurements are performed at the program level, the units can be selected in the menu, small errors are allowed.
The calibration scale is included.

Hello! I noticed one thing... when I increase resolution, fps decreases. For instance, 1280x960 resolution gives me 7 fps, when I start to increase it, fps becomes 5 and so on... is it supposed to be so?

Customer service:

Yes, it should be so: the higher the resolution, the less FPS you get.
