Carl Zeiss, Germany, offers the Smartzoom 5 optical digital microscope in which three functions (zoom, overview camera, and coaxial illumination) are combined in a single optical engine. It is quick and easy to set up, fully automated, and equipped with dedicated quality assurance and quality control instrumentation.
The segmentable LED ring light integrated into the objectives is powered via the bayonet interface. Orientation is simple with Smartzoom 5‘s integrated QA/QC graphic user interface supporting a seamless macro-to-detail workflow. The entire sample surface is recorded with separate optics.
The system’s guided workflow in combination with calibrated components supports user-independent measurement results. It is simple to annotate images and export reports easily to Word templates. Smartzoom 5 also includes a macro recording mode to enhance the workflow for repeat sample analyses of the same type in a step-by-step manner. Three different objectives of varying magnifications are available, ranging from 10x to 1011x.
It is easy to see which areas of the sample are relevant for microscopic inspection. Image presets and enhancement help get the best image. A number of image algorithms enable automatic measurements. Smartzoom 5 features a macro recording mode to enhance the workflow for repeat sample analyses of the same type in a step-by-step manner.
