Microscope Deltaoptical BioLight 300 with DLT-Cam Basic 2 MP camera, biological/binocular imaging

The Deltaoptical BioLight 300 with DLT-Cam Basic 2 MP camera is a biological binocular microscope designed for educational laboratories, hobby microscopy and routine sample documentation. It combines a binocular optical head for comfortable observation with a 2 megapixel USB camera that transfers images and video to a PC for basic documentation and measurement. The instrument supports transmitted light brightfield observation and offers standard biological magnification suitable for cell studies, prepared slides and wet mounts.

Advantages

The binocular head allows comfortable, prolonged viewing and diopter adjustment for matching individual eyesight. The integrated 2 MP USB camera enables straightforward capture of still images and video to a connected computer and makes basic digital measurements possible with compatible software. The microscope is supplied as a combined kit ready for immediate use in teaching environments or hobby labs and balances optical observation with simple digital documentation.

Suitable for

• School and university biology practicals and demonstrations
• Hobby microscopy and nature observation
• Routine laboratory checks and basic sample documentation
• Digital imaging for reports, presentations and simple measurements

When it may not be suitable

This model is intended for transmitted brightfield observation and basic digital documentation; it is not designed for advanced fluorescence, phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC) or high-end research requiring high-resolution scientific cameras. Users needing very high magnification for electron-level detail or precision quantitative image analysis may require more specialized instruments and cameras.

Key specifications

• Optical configuration: binocular biological microscope head with interpupillary adjustment and diopter control
• Camera: 2 megapixel USB camera for image and video capture
• Illumination: transmitted brightfield illumination with adjustable intensity
• Magnification: standard objective turret with common biological objective magnifications (suitable for prepared slides and wet mounts)
• Stage: mechanical or plain stage suitable for slide observation and positioning
• Connectivity: USB connection to PC for live view, capture and basic measurement with compatible software

How to use

Set up the microscope on a stable surface and connect the USB camera to a computer using the supplied cable. Place a prepared slide on the stage and secure it with the stage clips or mechanical stage. Start with the lowest objective and use coarse focus to bring the specimen into view, then switch to higher objectives and refine focus with the fine focus knob. Adjust interpupillary distance and diopter settings to obtain a comfortable binocular view. Launch the camera software on the computer to display live image, capture photographs or record video. Use the software tools for basic measurements if available.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that transmitted brightfield observation meets your application needs (no built-in fluorescence or phase contrast)
• Ensure your computer meets USB camera software requirements and has an available USB port
• Check whether included optics and magnification range are adequate for your samples
• Verify availability of compatible imaging software for capture and basic measurements

Usage recommendations

For best image quality, start with clean slides and objectives, allow the illumination to warm up briefly for stable light output, and calibrate the camera scaling using a stage micrometer if you plan to perform measurements. When storing the microscope, cover it to protect optics from dust and disconnect the camera when not in use.
