The AM5212T is the latest addition to the Edge series microscopes with AV/TV output interface. Combined with totally revamped optics and 960H sensor technology, it is the latest upgrade over existing Premier series TV-interface models such as the AM4112 and AM412. Also, like all standard magnification models on the Edge series, this microscope incorporates a 20X to 220X magnifying range.

As member of the Dino-Lite Edge series microscopes, there are interchangeable front caps available to suit different purposes. The current available options are close cap, open cap, diffuser cap, extended cap, long cap, and sidelight cap.

The MicroTouch button on the AM5212T is configured to conveniently control on/off the LEDs with a simple tap of a finger. The scroll lock on the magnification dial is able to secure the dial and fix the focus and magnification, which can be helpful to prevent unintentional rotations of the dial in some applications.

The AM5212T does not require a computer or bundled software to operate, but instead works by connecting it to a regular TV using the composite video cable. This microscope is available in either NTSC or PAL video standards depending on your region of residence. Thanks to the simplicity of system configuration and minimized maintenance requirement, the largely reduced overall system and operating cost together with the high image quality makes it ideal for use beyond industrial applications.
