Unique CCD microscope system provides a magnified image of an object on a TV or video monitor simply by pointing at the target
Available from Moritex, the third-generation MS500C Micro-Scopeman is a high-resolution integrated video inspection tool suitable for a wide range of real-time inspection and QA tasks.
Integrating advanced optics, fibre optics and CCD components into a unique CCD microscope system the MS500C provides a magnified image of an object on a TV or video monitor simply by pointing at the target.
Traditional optical microscopes mean bringing the subject to the microscope.
With the MS500C, the flexibility exists to bring the microscope to the subject.
The flexible handheld MS500C incorporates both high resolution (752x582 pixel) CCD camera head and fibre optic lighting for fast and simple acquisition of the perfect image with unrivalled depth-of-field, says the company.
A range of rapidly interchangeable fixed magnification and zoom lenses are available to suit most contact and non-contact applications.
Options include automatic light intensity control and fine adjustment of the CCD camera controls.
A separate strobe light source is available for capturing very fast moving objects.
The device is said to be affordably priced and extremely easy to use.
Typical applications include inspection and quality assurance of precision enginered parts, in situ restoration/conservation of textiles, medical/forensic examinations and on-site inspection of plant and process equipment.
