The BeaverLAB Darwin MX is a desktop digital microscope for screen-based observation, learning and recording. Position your specimen, adjust the light and keep a record of what you find.
Observe and use the on-screen controls without connecting a separate computer.
Rotate the objective selector to change lenses, then adjust the stage and focus for your specimen.
A built-in rechargeable battery powers the screen and microscope between charges.
The integrated touchscreen sits above the specimen platform. Use the stage controls and fine focus while watching the image on screen.

Separate controls move the specimen left and right, forward and back, and in height. Fine focus helps you refine the image after positioning it.
Upper illumination lights surfaces from above. Lower illumination shines through suitable specimens. Adjust each light source to suit what you are observing.
Take photos, record videos and revisit them in the gallery. Drawing and measurement tools let you mark details on screen.
Set the microscope on a stable surface, open the screen, remove the lens cover and centre the specimen beneath the objective.
Choose an objective position and adjust the stage height. Set the upper and lower illumination for the subject.
Bring the image into focus, then use the stage movement controls to examine another part of the specimen.
Protect the microscope from water and other liquids. Keep the stage clean and avoid pressing heavily on it.
Set dimensional calibration before relying on the measurement tools. The Darwin MX instruction manual (PDF) explains the on-screen controls.
The microscope does not support importing and opening external photos, videos or documents.
