SANXO – Scope LAB: Laboratory microscope

The SANXO-Scope LAB is the digital alternative to traditional biological microscopes at laboratories. This digital microscope outperforms most of the traditional compound microscopes at magnification performance and field of view parameters. Biological microscope producers like Leica or Olympus typically apply one or two eyepieces at the microscope for lab. SANXO-Scope LAB shows the magnified object on a connected monitor.

SANXO – Scope LAB: Laboratory microscope - Basic Features

Biological microscope producers like Leica or Olympus typically apply one or two eyepieces at the microscope for lab. SANXO-Scope LAB shows the magnified object on a connected monitor. The large microscopic picture can be viewed at  a healthy posture and ergonomic working condition for the laboratory researcher. Biological microscopes are typically deployed at teamwork projects, so it is a clear advantage to inspect the object of your research with your fellow researchers on the wide screen of the SANXO-Scope LAB.

SANXO - Scope LAB digital laboratory microscope is primarily a transmitted light microscope. It is capable of inspecting translucent specimens, any sample that is transparent. By adding an external light source SANXO - Scope LAB can also be used as a reflected light microscope. This way the operator can make magnified images of nontransparent objects.

Lab microscope price

When calculating your lab microscope price, you need to balance between the desire to obtain the best microscope for the laboratory and staying between the boundaries of your budget. In this case SANXO-Scope LAB wil be your choice, especially if you plan to have a laboratory microscope with camera. This need is fulfilled many times by trinoculars, a device with a mount to hold an external digital camera, which again is an extra cost. SANXO digital microscope is a cost saver if you consider the built in software functions enabling automated report making and direct network connectivity to your laboratory IT system.

The main motivation for developing the SANXO-Scope LAB digital microscope is to bring a good image quality and still cost effective digital microscope solution for laboratories. It provides high magnification and high resolution image. The main difference is that the SANXO-Scope LAB can be configured with  different optics scaled to your laboratory observation need. It provides lots of measurement functions for gauging, labeling, marking, identifying and creating documentation.

Setups

The microscope comes with a robust camera stand with a fine movable XY table and dimmable back light system. The camera holder is adjustable vertically with 50mm as a traditional microscopes.

The application offers basic functionality such as true digital zoom (with no quality loss) and image panning, real-time image enhancement and image saving to local or network drive.

Zooming

Take the advantage of the 150x - 650x magnification. If the object distance is fixed then the user still can use the real-digital zoom by rolling the mouse wheel. Using the digital zoom the image is equally very sharp and clear on the LCD thank for the top notch USB3 camera from IDS-Imaging GmbH. Camera resolution is available at 5 megapixel and at 20,5 megapixel.

ONE-CLICK calibration

The SANXO-Scope LAB can easily be calibrated using a calibration card or precise calibration glass. The calibration only takes a few seconds and after that the scope can be used to measure distances accurately in real-world units(mm).

Measurements

Distance

With the Ruler function, users can measure 2D distances between two - manually marked - points. The measurement's dimension is pixels or mm unit- after calibration.

Angle

With the SANXO-Scope HD you can measure angles. The user has to mark the 3 points manually. The measurement unit is degree.

Circle

For measuring circles, the user has two options: a manual and automatic method. With the manual method (Circle by 3 points) the user marks the 3 points, which defines the circle. With the automatic method (Canny circle detector) the user marks only a rectangle area around the circle. The dimensions are in pixels or after calibration in mm units.

DTM Code reading

If the product has identification code / QR code, DTM matrix, Barcode / then the user can use the DTM tool to read it and save the image with a name that includes time stamp and identification code.

Coordinate system

Coordinate system helps the user to make a quick check of the dimensions of the inspected object. Horizontal, vertical or a complete coordinate system can be placed in the image. The microscope system can start with the coordinate system in the optical center (like a crosshair).

2D Calibration

Using the calibration feature, distance between two points displayed on the screen can be measured using either pixel units or calibrated real-world units. The calibration process can be performed using the calibration card provided with the SANXO-Scope HD. The calibration can be initiated by opening the toolbar menu and clicking on the Calibration icon.

The measured distance is given either in pixels ('px') on the sensor or, if a calibration is present, in the chosen real-world units ('mm' by default). You may switch between the measurement modes through the toolbar menu by clicking the 'mm/px' toggle button. The corresponding menu elements can be seen on the right.

One-Click calibration

The SANXO-Scope HD can easily be calibrated using a calibration card or calibration glass. The calibration only takes a few seconds and after that the scope can be used to measure distances accurately in real-world units.

You can have your own calibration card. The setup supports  adding a new calibration pattern, so if you go for higher magnification just print your new calibration card and you can use it directly. The calibration card is used for high accuracy. Its resolution is 0.015 micron. At ca. 140x magnification the 1 micron measurement accuracy can be achieved.

Overlay Graphics

The SANXO-Scope HD provides overlay graphics that can highlight and/or measure certain features for documentation. For highlighting the user can use an Arrow, Rectangle, Freehand and Text box. The user can measure circles, distances and angles. The positions of the overlay graphics will not change if the user zooms in or zooms out.

Advanced Features

HDR

With the SANXO-Scope HD, applying HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques, high dynamic range light conditions that are problematic even for the human eye, can be easily managed. During the process an image sequence is captured, applying varying exposure times. Based on the sequence the camera response can be estimated, and a pixelwise floating point representation can be created.
