Optical inspection systems are flexible
Optical inspection systems can replace microscopes and can be customised to give a desired field of view, resolution, magnification and depth of focus.
Manufactured at our factory in Cambridge, UK, the ProScan II advanced stepper motor controller has been redesigned with a smaller, cleaner profile and a USB communication port for high-speed computer interfacing.
As with previous models, ProScan II is capable of driving a scanning stage, motorised focus, up to three filter wheels and up to three shutters.
A 'plug and play' feature means that all system components are automatically detected and configured on power up eliminating the need for time consuming manual set-up.
Four TTL inputs and outputs are provided to control other peripherals such as camera shutters, relays and line cameras.
For high precision stage and focus applications such as image tiling and 3D deconvolution the controller is capable of using encoder output signals.
Flash technology is also built in to allow easy upgrading of the software command set from a PC.
In summary the ProScan II maintains the functionality and flexibility of previous ProScan controllers but with significant added benefits. Request a free brochure from Prior Scientific ...
