4K Resolution Digital Microscope For Challenging Inspection Routines Launched

November 24, 2021November 23, 2021 Keith Mills Publishing Editor

Vision Engineering has announced the launch of it Makrolite 4K resolution digital microscope. Makrolite 4K’s superb image quality, 4K resolution and wide dynamic range is suitable for a wide range of complex and high contrast applications.

The digital microscope provides more fine detail with greater detail shadow and highlight areas, ideal for challenging inspection routines, including reflective subjects, for example solder joints, subjects in shadow, or subjects with low contrast, such as rubber and plastic.

Makrolite 4K is flexible, easy to use, and provides high definition video images with a wide dynamic range and up to 330x magnification. It delivers both versatility and high performance in applications such as production, lab research, R&D, micro assembly, quality control, inbound/outbound product checking, dissection and re-work.

Available in two versions, the console configuration provides direct HDMI connection to the monitor for live display with full control of zoom and all camera settings. Connecting Makrolite 4K to a PC with our dimensioning software, ViPlus, extends its capabilities to include image capture, annotation, on-screen measurement, live overlays, data/image report generation and a range of image processing tools

Additionally, the Makrolite 4K solution includes a wide range of stands and objectives, making it a flexible solution equipped to deal with a wide range of demanding inspection tasks.

Paul Newbatt, Vision Engineering Group Sales and Marketing Director said ‘’Makrolite 4K represents a step forward for Vision Engineering in terms of inspection microscope image resolution.

It retains the core Vision Engineering values of superb image quality combined with ease of use, and also adds 4K resolution, a choice of console or PC versions, and range of five stands, to deliver a really flexible inspection solution.
