Image Capture, Archive & Documentation
- Photo tube option permits the use of digital or video camera.
- Modular multimedia solutions are available for image archiving, acquisition, processing, analysis and documentation.
- Software options include the capabilities for particle analysis and image stitching functions.
LED Ring Light
- For use with bench stand variant, where additional surface illumination is required (standard option with boom mount and dual arm boom variants).
Floating Stage
- For use with bench stand models, the floating stage provides smooth sample control, ideal for inspection tasks.
Fine Focus
- For use with bench stand models, the fine focus option permits ultimate focus control, ideal for higher magnification work.
Polarisation Set
- Polarising filters can be accommodated with bench stand configurations.
Double Iris Diaphragm
- Enabling the size of the internal numerical aperture to be changed on both optical paths for greater depth of field throughout the zoom range.
With an 10:1 zoom ratio, the SX100 has a standard magnification range of 8x – 80x (320x max.) providing high performance stereo magnification, whilst maintaining a long working distance at higher magnification.
