The Olympus DSX1000 digital microscope has earned a reputation for excellent imaging quality and ease of use. The new software adds powerful measurement capabilities and usability upgrades to the device, making it a faster, more comprehensive detection solution.
The microscope offers a range of simple-to-use advanced measurement functions that make the system even more powerful. Automatic edge detection provides in-plane and contour measurements, allowing users to easily measure features and defects during QA/QC inspections. Other new features include measuring the difference between two data points, analysis templates that allow users to automate analysis tasks, stitched images with wider fields of view, higher resolution and time-lapse imaging.
When the analysis is complete, the new software allows users to export the data to third-party software, such as CAD programs, and display the measurements along with image and surface profile data in a report customized to suit the application.
To help inspectors do their jobs quickly, the new software adds enhanced usability features to improve inspection efficiency. When switching targets, the software prompts the user to select a new shot. The microscope then automatically adjusts the focus position so the user can get back to work immediately, rather than wasting time refocusing.
Image acquisition is also simpler: to capture a 3D image, the user simply sets the scan range according to the height of the sample, and the microscope does the rest. To avoid getting lost while viewing the sample, the new macro uses a Mosaic of images taken in panoramic mode to show the observation position on the sample.
