Inspecting microsystem technology components
Biodisks allow for multiple tests to be carried out on a tiny sample of liquid, reducing the time, equipment and sample volume that would normally be required.
Paper examination with stereo microscope
To limit operator fatigue from eye, neck and back strain, Donohue only allowed its operators to manually inspect paper samples for a maximum of two hours when using traditional scopes.
The newly updated lower-cost Lynx stereo zoom microscope is ideal for the inspection of component parts with a stereo image presented to the eyes through an ergonomic eyepieceless viewing lens.
The patented eyepieceless viewing head is designed to deliver maximum ergonomics, relieving engineers from eyestrain and fatigue, symptoms usually caused from bad posture, when inspecting through the binocular eyepieces of a traditional stereo microscope.
The unrivalled operator comfort places Lynx in a league of its own.
Newly updated, Lynx is now available with long-life LED illumination, enhancing optical clarity whilst reducing operating and consumable costs.
Arranged within a 14-point ringlight, the dimmable, high intensity LEDs provide brighter, whiter illumination with a lamp-life of up to 10,000 hours, reducing consumable costs by more that 80%.
The Lynx benefits from magnification up to x120 a wide range of accessories in addition to the new LED illumination.
New image capture and archive options are also now available to complement existing range of options and accessories. Request a free brochure from Vision Engineering ...
Ideal for any inspection task that requires maximum image quality without fatigue, Lynx has become the preferred instrument of choice for detailed visual inspection of a wide range of samples, from PCBs through to meteorites!.
