Due to the internal adhesive, using the device in an environment over 70°C is NOT recommended. In higher temperature applications it’s recommended to use a metal exterior unit. High-pressure environment
Dino-Lite models with a 3rd digit “1” or 2nd letter “A” in the model number (I.e. AD3713TB, AD4113T, AM4113ZT, AM413ZTAS, etc.) are designed with a special housing that makes them better suited for high pressure environments. The MSAH302 Protective Enclosure (sold separately) can also help protect the Dino-Lite in high pressure environments. Dino-Lite digital microscopes can operate in pressures up to 125 psi if the pressure is gradually increased. The pressure should not be rapidly increased.
Vacuum environments
Dino-Lite are not recommended for use in a vacuum environment as there are potential issues with lubrication of the magnification dial.
High-humidity environments
Dino-Lite microscopes are not recommended for use in humid environments, as the internal electronics are not protected against liquid. We recommend placing the Dino-Lite in an IP rated protective enclosure before placing inside any environment with high-humidity.
