H HD 2 1 0 0 H D- P U ser Guid e HHD2100HD-P Magnifications, Working Distances, and Fields of View System Magnification Digital microscopes often present smaller fields-of-view when compared to optical microscopes with equivalent magnifications. This is due to the digital microscope’s image sensor. The dimensions of the sensor determine the field-of- view much like the aperture of an eyepiece (usually printed on the eyepiece as its field number).
H HD 2 1 0 0 H D- P U ser Guid e Zoom Wheel Zoom Wheel The zoom wheel controls the magnification of the microscope by adjusting the internal zoom mechanism. The wheel can be rotated in a continuous movement until either terminus has been reached. By rotating the wheel to the right, the magnification will decrease until it reaches 0.1X.
H HD 2 1 0 0 H D- P U ser Guid e Using Support Systems The HHD2100HD-P is designed for use with a variety of support systems, including those typically used with stereo microscopes such as table stands, boom-arm stands, and articulating stands. Due to the HHD2100HD-P’s high magnifica-...
AmScope Imaging Software AmScope imaging software for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux is used to capture and edit images generated by the microscope. While the microscope may work with 3rd-party UVC-compatible software, it is recommended to use the provided software to ensure full functionality.
H HD 2 1 0 0 H D- P U ser Guid e HDMI User Interface The HDMI model uses an on-screen UI to operate. The camera controls are located in the panel on the left side of the window, the measurement toolbar on the top, and additional display controls and settings are on the bottom. By default, the panels will only display when the mouse cursor is hovering over the appropriate area.

To open the panel, move the mouse cursor toward the left edge of the video window. Control Panel Function Description...
H HD 2 1 0 0 H D- P U ser Guid e Image Exposure Manual Exposure Image exposure controls the amount of light captured by the imaging device. Exposure time is used to set the amount of time over which light is collected. More time will result in a brighter image. For most static subjects, increasing expo- sure time to achieve the appropriate brightness is the preferred method.
