Details
Lynx Quality Inspection System Details
Modern advances in optical design of the Lynx stereo microscope allows users' eyes and hands to work together, resulting in increased throughput, accuracy and reduced scrap and rework.
Technology Benefits
Lynx utilizes Vision Engineering's patented Dynascope eyepiece less technology to offer users advanced ergonomics by removing the restriction of conventional binocular eyepieces.
Movement of the head and eyes no longer means losing the field of vision, providing complete freedom of head movement, significantly reducing operator fatigue over long periods of time. 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 patented optics of Lynx provides a large viewing area with a purely optical, 3-dimentional high resolution image, not the 2-dimensional digital image of video or camera scopes. The result is increased efficiency, better comfort and reduced fatigue so that you can work more accurately for longer periods.
The increased freedom of head movement additionally allows spectacles or contact lenses to be worn in comfort. |
Ease of Use
Lynx 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.
Accessories
