Alpha is an advanced stereo zoom microscope, ideal for a wide range of both industrial and life science applications. Alpha utilises Vision Engineering's patented Expanded-Pupil technology to provide up to 10 times greater freedom of head movement than conventional binocular eyepiece microscopes. 

• Superior ergonomics allows for greater productivity and reduced fatigue
• x2.1 - x160 stereo zoom magnification range (x7 - x40 standard)
• Modular design allows for easy addition of accessories, including image capture options
• Patented optical technology provides superb hand-to-eye coordination for manipulation tasks
• Bench stand or flexible boom mount versions
• UV / White Light version

High-precision optics provide maximum brilliance and high-contrast images, up to x160 magnification (x7 - x40 standard) while the modular design enables the user to select from a wide variety of mounting, illumination and camera options. 

Boom Stand Adjustable, swing away, boom mount for mounting directly to user's work surface or with coated platform base for easy transport.

Bench Stand Stable, focusable bench stand with subject holder, substage illumination and floating or measuring stage options.

Alpha Stereo Microscope Details Modern advances in optical design of the Alpha stereo microscope allows users' eyes and hands to work together, resulting in increased throughput, accuracy and reduced scrap and rework.  Technology Benefits Alpha utilises Vision Engineering's patented ISIS 'Expanded-Pupil' eyepieces to offer users advanced ergonomics by providing significant eye relief compared to conventional binocular microscopes.

A small movement of the eye no longer means losing part of the field of vision - users can simply move their eyes to view the full image area, rather than repositioning their heads to operate within the constraints of narrow conventional microscope eyepieces.  The increased freedom of head movement additionally allows spectacles or contact lenses to be worn in comfort.  Alpha, with UV / White Light option is ideal for a wide range of non-destructive testing, crack & fatigue detection, conformal coating inspection of PCB's, UV medical adhesives & general UV inspection tasks ...

Ease of Use
Alpha offers simple 3-dimensional viewing, with the apparent distance to the viewed object image identical to that of the real object, eliminating re-focusing of the operator's eye; thus reducing the likelihood of fatigue.

Advanced Microscope Accessories
A wide range of options and configurations are available. To discuss you particular requirement, please contact your local Vision Engineering representative. 

	Oblique and Direct Viewer  Allows the operator to view a subject from an angle of 34° from vertical, which can be rotated through to 360° enabling a better stereo view of 3-dimensional subjects including PCB solder joints, holes, pillars and thread forms. Both manual and motorised versions are available.
	Fixed Angle Viewer Allows the user three options; a fixed angle of 25° from vertical, the ability to view vertically or tilting the optical head and using the system standing up.
	Ergowedge Allows the view to be adjusted between -5° and -25° from horizontal.
	Image Capture, Archive & Documentation Digital, USB and 35mm SLR and Polaroid instant cameras including Sony, Nikon, Pixera, Polaroid and other leading makes. Modular multimedia solutions for image archiving, acquisition, processing, analysis and documentation.
	Step Magnification Multiplier Allows the stereo zoom range to be increased by a factor of x1.5 or x2 without any loss in working distance.
Measuring / Comparison Graticule Allows the user the ability to measure and compare against a scale. Standard range is available as a crossline or graduated scale. Custom graticules can be manufactured to specific designs.
