Recently, we looked at images on two different microscope systems: the ZEISS Primostar 3 and the Motic Panthera. We wanted to compare the images captured with both of these microscopes. For both microscopes, the same digital camera was used to capture the images, a 5 megapixel microscope camera (the DCM5.3). Images displayed were captured with a 100x objective lens. For the ZEISS Primostar 3, the …

How does Mitutoyo's Mu checker System Work? The Mu checker uses the following measurement principle: a differential inductance displacement sensor, which is energized by a 5 kHz AC exciting voltage, is applied across two identical coils connected in series, L1 and L2. An iron core, which is connected to the probe stylus, moves close to both coils. The impedance of each coil varies depending on it …

Solino: Anomaly Detection & 3D Imaging Opto's Solino is a vision imaging sensor that captures object anomalies and 3D images for use in quality control and assurance, automation of  manufacturing processes, preventative maintenance, and inspection of fingerprints, dents, cracks, stains, etc. Solino finds defects beyond the limits of human perception. Solino detects roughness, reflectivity …

What is a Microscope? A microscope is an instrument used to magnify objects that can't be viewed with the naked eye or need a bit more magnification in order to see them better. What can I view with a Light Microscope? The image below shows a range of sizes from 1 meter to 0.1 nanometers. The human eye can view bats, bugs, and strands of hair. A light microscope helps to magnify blood cells and ba …
