AUC5-246-LCD Intelligent Digital Biological Microscope
NIS infinity-plan optics, coded objective recognition and intelligent illumination with a 13.3-inch Full HD display, 8MP imaging and 4K video.
Intelligent microscopy for teaching and clinical laboratories
The AUC5-246-LCD is designed for teaching, clinical diagnosis and laboratory research. Its NIS infinity optical system and plan achromatic objectives provide clear, high-contrast images across the field of view. A compact ergonomic frame, rackless stage and low-position controls support comfortable daily operation.
The integrated camera and 13.3-inch Full HD display capture 8MP images and 4K video and provide mouse-controlled measurement. HDMI 2.0, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi outputs support standalone operation, external displays, computers and compatible mobile devices.

Key features
Intelligent illumination management
The coded nosepiece identifies the objective in use. The microscope remembers the preferred brightness for each objective and automatically restores it when magnification changes, helping reduce visual fatigue and repeated adjustment.
Working-status display
The front LCD shows the active objective magnification, illumination level, colour temperature and operating status. Start, lock, ECO and sleep modes support consistent operation and energy management.
Apple, Android and computer compatibility
The microscope works independently through its integrated display. Compatible applications also support wireless viewing on Apple and Android mobile devices, with computer software environments for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Connection note: Mobile-device connectivity uses Wi-Fi. A compatible 5GHz USB Wi-Fi adapter may be required depending on the supplied configuration. Direct USB connection to an iPhone or iPad is not specified.
