iSolution Lite is a streamlined version of the i-Solution image analysis application. Suitable for measuring on captured images, stitching several images and includes "Focus Enhancement" to merge several images to obtain one with greater depth of focus. Export captured pictures with measurements to Excel.

A Toolmakers Microscopes can comprise a camera to capture images and include measurement functions. Such cameras can be USB2 compatible, colour or monochrome. This system should have detents or “stops” in the zoom control. The software will allow calibration of these points in the zoom lens to enable accurate measurements to be made on the captured image.

When using an XY stage with digital micrometers (or XY stage with linear encoders) a centre reference point is required in the video image. Some USB2 cameras include a cross-hair graticule or alternatively use an analogue camera with a cross-line generator. The measurement is the movement of the stage and can be read from the micrometers or digital readout display.

Z Height Measurement

Measure via a process known as "differential focus".
Measurements readings to three decimal places.
Measurement can be taken directly to computer via USB2 cable which also powers the digital gauge. This can also be taken directly into an open spreadsheet. System components include dial gauge, dial gauge bracket, power lead/Opto cable, Winwedge software, Cable USB to serial adapter.
