Marina Ortis (2015.04.27)

Hello, I can't decide between DTX 30 and DTX 50. As far as I can see, DTX 30 has better camera (2 Mpx interpolated to 5), DTX 50 produces higher magnification (up to 400x), but the camera is less than 2 Mpx. Just tell me, which one provides better images? The one with more Mpx? But if I talk from my experience with digital photography, 2 Mpx cameras don't provide the best images in terms of quality....

Customer service:

Levenhuk DTX 50 Digital Microscope provides images of higher quality.

Lydia Crisp (2015.03.05)

Ok, but I asked you about depth of field, not about magnification.

Customer service:

The depth of field will be different depending on focus and magnification values.

Lydia Crisp (2015.03.04)

what about the depth of field?

Customer service:

To obtain the maximum magnification power of the Levenhuk DTX 50 microscope, you should bring the microscope really closely to the observed object. With a focal length of 2-3 cm, the magnification will be around 20x.

Paul Jackson (2015.02.04)

Can I install this software on the tablet?

Customer service:
