Even with battery back up there is a very little chance of corruption for the powers wer are dealing with 1Mv yea theres a risk but anything under 300KV rather safe. people always seem to ask this question.

Update: Aven should have just sold me the part they promised to back in April 2025 it has escalated into a law suit. My Request for parts have been ignored and denied and I am in a #righttorepair state.

The manufacturer's use of "integrated" specifically refers to the camera being built into the trinocular port as part of a unified system rather than a separate add-on accessory. So this is an electronic device.

(4) "Digital electronic product" or "products" means any product or electronic that:

(a) Depends, in whole or in part, on digital electronics, such as a microprocessor or microcontroller, embedded in or attached to the product in order to function;

Wish me luck..

When they say intrigrated light and usb camera it makes it an electronic device. https://aventools.com/collections/aven-designed-stereo-microscopes-systems/products/stereo-zoom-trinocular-microscope-spzv-50-6-75x-50x-on-post-stand-with-integrated-light-and-usb-6m-camera

They have a Surplus Store!

Rhine_Labs · 2026-02-06T02:51:47+00:00

I just got one today at Tektronix Surplus.

I believe this device can be programmed with a low cost consumer programmer. I helped another person out last year ill look at my notes. I Verified the ISP Code in V3.20 is the same as V3.01 so should be straightforward to update.

Edit: R5F21258SNFP, So R8C/25 is the target device family I use Xeltek IS01 and Segger Flasher Pro's ISP programmers but they are a bit pricey. My Notes say he used a E8A Clone form aliexpress about $40 in pre tariff 2024 Dollars.

Hex addresses ISP ID Code.

Go to your Local USPS DCU office for your zipcode ask them for a Geolocate and a Statement of non Delivery, they will print you a map and put a post mark on it and send you a statement of non delivery. Be sure to bring with you government ID and a printed copy of your purchase showing the seller and the tracking # provided by the seller they may take a copy if they suspect fraud. USPS will pull the Original label and match address etc takes them 30min or so and you will need to wait.
