Olympus has today launched its new family of opto-digital
microscopes; the DSX series. Through the combination of advanced optics,
electronics and Olympus's renowned expertise, the DSX microscopes provide users
with superb operating simplicity, and absolute performance reliability.
Consisting of three models: the DSX100 free-angle wide zoom microscope, the
DSX500 high resolution upright microscope and the DSX500i high resolution
inverted microscope, Olympus can provide a complete inspection system to meet
the needs of applications across R&D and quality control. These include
inspection and analysis within the automotive industry, palaeontology, geology,
PCB manufacture, fibre structure, micro-channels, metallography and the
geometry of small parts. Every user can get expert results, without the need to
understand microscopy.
As microscopy and inspection expand across a broader range
of industry sectors, more and more users are accessing microscopy techniques on
a regular basis. Within a facility, users tend to have a wide variety of
microscopy experience. It is therefore
important that the inspection system is easy to use for beginners and experts
alike. The DSX portfolio allows users to work in the way that is most
comfortable for them. With no microscope binoculars, the systems are highly
ergonomic, allowing samples to be visualised on-screen. Furthermore, the microscopes
can be controlled quickly and easily via the intuitive touch-screen interface,
or using a more traditional computer mouse. All three members of the DSX family
operate in the same computer-based manner, meaning that operators can easily
move from one model to another without the need for specific training.
Image analysis is highly intuitive, with the DSX preview
screen facilitating the quick and simple selection of the best optical
technique, without the need for any time-consuming adjustments. The system will
automatically generate a selection of preview images which are shown as
thumbnails for each technique - brightfield, darkfield, differential
interference contrast (DIC) -all the user needs to do is touch the screen to
indicate their preferred imaging approach.
Providing an option to suit all users, there are a number of
selectable modes. The tutorial mode helps to guide operators who are new to the
process, while the advanced mode provides an additional level of flexibility to
a user with a basic level of knowledge. Furthermore, the operator mode allows
customisation of the interface so as only the required functionality is visible
for routine work. The operator mode also allows user profiles to be set-up so
as specific protocols, especially those of the more advanced user which have
been fine-tuned and tailored to specific requirements, can be quickly and
easily saved and recalled.
Combining functionality such as HDR (high dynamic range) and
WiDER with an advanced optical zoom and dedicated objective lenses, high
resolution images can be obtained effortlessly at the best size for each
application. The new zoom optics reduce halation and glare to provide images of
the best possible clarity, while the dedicated lenses fuse superior optics with
sophisticated image processing for precise, accurate and repeatable
measurements, every time. The DSX series of opto-digital microscopes sets a new
bar for optical microscopy and non-confocal metrology.
