This USB microscope offers 10×–220× magnification, high optical resolution, and a metal housing for durability. With features like AMR (Automatic Magnification Reading), EDOF (Extended Depth of Field), and DPQ (Depth Profiling & Quantification), the AM8917MZT supports detailed inspections across industrial, research, and quality control applications.

Dino-Lite AM8917MZT EdgePLUS USB digital microscop

Designed for professional imaging tasks, the Dino-Lite AM8917MZT EdgePLUS captures fine surface features with vibrant color fidelity. Its enhanced flexible LED control and polarizer reduce glare, while integrated measurement and calibration tools streamline workflow. Compatible with Windows and Mac systems via USB interface.

Dino-Lite AM8917MZT EdgePLUS USB digital microscope

Features

01
8 Megapixel “4K” Resolution & 16:9 Field of View

Captures images at up to 3840 × 2160 pixels (Windows), delivering wide views and fine detail. The 16:9 aspect ratio gives more image width, useful when inspecting elongated samples.

02
Wide Magnification Range (10×–220×)

From broad overview to high magnification, so you can inspect large areas or zoom into tiny detail without changing lenses.

03
Enhanced Flexible LED Control (eFLC) + Polarizer

LED lighting can be adjusted in intensity and by quadrant to highlight features or avoid glare. The built-in polarizer helps eliminate unwanted reflections from shiny surfaces.

04
EDOF, EDR, & DPQ Advanced Imaging Modes

EDOF (Extended Depth of Field) stacks images from different focus planes to sharpen uneven surfaces.,EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) helps to see both bright and dark areas in the same image.,DPQ (Depth Acquisition) extracts depth information, useful for detecting surface defects or textures.

05
Automatic Magnification Reading (AMR) & Measurement Tools

The software detects magnification automatically, making measurements easier and more accurate. With calibration and measurement features, you can trust the numeric data from your images.
