Dino-Lite digital microscope for precision pest and disease detection in agriculture

Dino-Lite digital microscope supports precision pest and disease detection in vegetable crops, enabling real-time identification via Android devices. With 900x magnification, 5-megapixel resolution, and wireless Wi-Fi streaming, it aids farmers and advisors in integrated pest management (IPM) across tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Part of the EU Horizon 2020 SmartProtect project (grant No. 862563), the tool enhances on-the-go diagnostics in fields and greenhouses, supporting soil nutrient monitoring and timely interventions. Designed for accessibility, it enables measurement, visualization, and video capture for scalable, data-driven agricultural decision-making.
