What is the WF-20?

The WF-20 is a Wi-Fi streamer, as well as a wireless router, to be used with Dino-Lite Edge AF series digital microscopes for viewing and sharing observations wirelessly. The WF-20 is ideal for on-field use as it comes with high quality image transmission and a long battery life. When your AF series Dino-Lite digital microscope is connected to the WF-20, it becomes a wireless digital microscope. This is also sometimes known as a Wi-Fi digital microscope.

Compatible with mobile device or computer with operating system:

  • IOS 10.X or later
  • Android 6.0 or later
  • Windows XP (SP3)/Vista/7/8/10

Do take note that the Dino-Lite WF-20 Wi-Fi streamer is only compatible with Dino-Lite Edge AF series digital microscope.
