About

The Olympus DSX1000 is a high-resolution digital microscope with full electronic control, multiple imaging modes and sophisticated analysis software built-in.

The built-in optical magnification allows for high-resolution imaging without changing objectives. The system has applies Digital image stabilization and software image enhancement.

Users must be very careful to avoid crashing the 50x objective, because it does not rotate out of the way like our other microscopes.
