Introduction of video microscope A Video Microscope One you can make use of this instrument instead of a surgical microscope. It features image capture into a computer shared with the Angle Two. This allows mouse click capture of any screen for later use in presentations or publications. There are quite a lot of advantages. You can watch the computer monitor screen instead of looking though eyepieces. Wide parfocal zoom range to see the entire rat head, or zoom in on just a burr opening as you position your probe. The working distance of 178 mm. (7 inches) allows the lens to be completely out of the way of your surgical instruments, drill and unmagnified field of view. The zoom changes the field of view range from 14.5mm by 19.5mm at low zoom through 2.1mm by 2.8mm at high zoom. This outcome in a magnification of approximately 9x at the low end to 63.5x at the high end. As the probe approaches the target, you do not need to search for it through the eyepieces, just watch it with unaided eyes until it is very close, then view the screen for detail. Video Microscope One with Image capture consist of a video camera, special zoom lens arrangement for 178 mm working distance, flexible stand to mount on stereo taxic instrument or magnetic base, a frame grabber card and network port, and software for image capture
By January 1993, the world’s first fully-integrated computer-controlled microcopy system was demonstrated to potential customers. This early design was built on the retrofit of an existing microscope stand. A variety of stepper motor components and electronic devices were attached to a conventional microscope and controlled via software. This prototype system provided onscreen viewing of the microscope image. While introducing this retrofitted microscopy system, it became obvious that price was an problem to potential customers. The solution was to eliminate the most costly component of the system, the microscope. In early 1995, began designing an optical microscope based on the precise requirements of a video microscope imaging system. In August of 1995, the first major improvement in optical microscope design since August Koehler introduced his illumination scheme for optimizing image contrast. The most obvious dissimilarity in the design is the absence of eyepieces, not required for CRT-based image viewing. In addition, every mechanical adjustment has been simplified to crossing point with motors rather than human hands. By eliminating any irrelevant glass and incorporating August Koehler’s approach to illumination, the finest video microscope image was obtained. A secondary objective of this redesign was to design for manufacturability, minimizing cost.
In view of the fact that the redesign of 1995, industry representatives designed solutions to generate fast and cost-effectively as all custom machine parts are designed for manufacturability yielding low cost without sacrificing quality and durability. Once in a while, one of these products lends itself perfectly to the mass-market. In these cases, the production of video microscope develops a production-level version of the product and begins a advertising campaign. The most popular product designed to date is the a protein crystal imaging microscope designed and optimized with the pharmaceutical industry in mind. In the course of one and a half years after the product was announced and promote. The advertising continues to look strong as even the competition is forced to acknowledge the superior image quality of the video microscope. Today, industry continues to distinguish itself as a world leader in robotics, video image processing, and cost-effective problem solving. In addition, some producers has partnered with overseas companies in Europe and
