The manufacturer of the Levenhuk DTX 30 Microscope does not specify this information.

Michael Lobio (2017.11.21)

Hello! Is this model suited for observations of crystal structures of stones, eg granite, tree structure, water molecule? Thank you in advance.

Customer service:

Levenhuk DTX 30 model is not suitable for such observations due to its low magnification power. Please consider Levenhuk 320 BASE Biological Monocular Microscope (https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-320-base-biological-monocular-microscope/ ) or Levenhuk 700M Monocular Microscope (https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-700m-monocular-microscope/ ).

Can I connect two microscopes to notebook at once? And get images from both of them?

Customer service:

Unfortunately, it is not possible to connect two Levenhuk DTX 30 microscopes to a notebook and get images simultaneously from both.

Lloyd Hart (2017.06.16)

How does this software work? It doesn't recognize the microscope because Windows already registered it as a simple web-camera.

Customer service:

We recommend installing new drivers. You can find them in the "additional materials" section: https://www.levenhuk.ru/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-dtx-30-digital-microscope/

John Pratt (2017.02.27)

The infusorium can be clearly seen in it, right? Hello.

Srikanth (2016.05.11)

Need a hand-held microscope to observe ROCK samples in field. 100x is fair. Need to capture image for later download. Can I?

Customer service:

Dear Srikanth, thank you for interest in Levenhuk products! We'd recommend to consider buying the Levenhuk DTX 500 Mobi Digital Microscope (product ID 61023). This model comes with a support of microSD cards (bought separately) with capacity up to 32 Gb. Is there any additional information you might need?

Sabrina Swift (2016.03.02)

Could you please specify the minimum and maximum size of observed object? My purpose: reading small text on solid objects 4.8-24 mm in diameter. It's highly desirable that a large object (24 mm in diameter) can be all seen through the lens (with the edges). If this model is not suitable for that, could you please recommend some other model?

Customer service:

The maximum size of the observed objects is about 2 cm, but with the lowest increase. The minimum size is 10 mm. We recommend Levenhuk DTX 90 Digital Microscope - https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-dtx-90-digital-microscope/ . It has a larger matrix and more convenient tripod.

Danny (2016.02.12)

Can I observe biomaterial such as a drop of blood, cells, bacteria, ciliate?

Customer service:

Levenhuk DTX 30 Digital Microscope is not suitable for observing transparent biological samples. It is designed for viewing opaque, volume objects. Please consider Levenhuk D320L Digital Biological Microscope - https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-d320l-plus-3-1m-digital-monocular-microscope/ .

Cameron Sims (2016.02.09)

Will I be able to mirror an image using your software?

Customer service:

Yes, Levenhuk DTX 30 microscope software allows you to change an image's orientation to create a mirror image.
