Precautions

1. Strictly prohibit disassembly

Don’t disassemble the device except the knock-down part mentioned in this specification.

Otherwise it may reduce the performance of the instrument, lead to electric shock, injury or

equipment damaged.

2. Digital Viewer GE-5 need Moisture-proof and anti-foreign body.

In order to prevent Failure of Digital Viewer GE-5, don’t plant it in the moist surfaces.

If any liquid pours on the Digital Viewer GE-5, disconnect with computer immediately, use dry

cloth to remove water.

If another object enters the Digital Viewer GE-5, please stop use and contact dealers.

3. Environmental conditions

Digital Viewer GE-5 is a precise optical device. To avoid improper use or storage that can lead the

performance of the instrument decline, you should pay attention to the following points:

Never place it in direct sunlight or other bright places.

Never place it in high-temperature, high humidity places

Never use it in the environment full of impurities and dust

Never use or store it in those environments with strong electromagnetic interference.

4. Carrying process

Digital Viewer GE-5 is a precise optical device, so you’d better be careful in the carrying process.

Avoid strong impact or vibration, which will result in decrease of optical performance or damage
of the equipment。

5. Focusing Knobs

Please do not rotate focusing Knobs in opposite directions at the same time.

When the digital head reach the limit positions, please do not continue the focusing knob rotation,

otherwise it may lead to the damage of equipment.

Product introduction

GE-5 Digital Microscope is a new digital microscope research by Beijing huaqi information

digital technology Co., Ltd. It has applied for some national patents, for example: dynamic area
viewing AOI- Active View technology （ patent application number: 200610113623.5\

200610113625.4）. The product can be directly connected with computer through the USB 2.0

interface. It can make observation, photography, video recording, measurement, storage and

output printing of high-resolution images in any areas, and as a result, high-definition images

could be shared by many persons without visual fatigue. GE5 has various innovative functions, so

it is the optimal upgraded selection for traditional industry microscope, stereomicroscope,

biological microscope and image measuring apparatus, and has extensive application field.

Product features

z High speed USB2.0 interface for dynamic image observation in real time, no need

external power supply;

z Adopt 1.30 mega pixels 1/2〞industry CMOS image sensor, the output images have high

signal-to-noise ratio;

z Multiple optical magnification, 30X, 60X, 180X, plus 4X digital magnification, with a

maximum of 720X;

z Full glass plane optical lens, 6cm work distance, very large depth of field, and no

deformation and aberration;

z The structure is compact and flexible, very suitable for desktop operating, laboratory

worktable operating, and factory pipelining;

z The original patent technology AOI-Active View and the high-resolution image preview

of more than 25 f/s can realize synchronized operation under the lens;

z Adopt the laser location technology, which can locate the target points quickly and

accurately under microscopic environment;

z Multiple light sources can be adjusted through software. It contains upper light source,

back light source and side light source;

z Illumination intensity can be controlled via classification to accommodate various

environment applications;

3

z Enhanced AWB arithmetic, and the color is real and flamboyant;
z One-key measurement function could meet more professional demands and serve the

measurements of length, diameter, angle, area etc.

Application Scope

Industrial Tests

In the electronic and precision machinery field, it often needs to inspect and machining the

components. But traditional microscopes are confined with shallow a depth of field and the object

must be observed from directly upward. It can neither get all the information from the entire

surface of object nor permits observation at any angle. GE5 digital microscope has large depth of

field and permits observation at all angles. It can also inspect the thick object conveniently

because of its super long working distance (6cm).

School and Household Education

With its high-quality and high-resolution imaging capabilities, GE5, a microscope that could

serve more than one viewer at the same time, is highly cost-effective, convenient and usable.

Hence, this apparatus adapts well to the fields like school teaching and family education and it

could help enrich teaching methods and improve the efficiency.
