The Analysis Filterinspector is a residue analysis system for fully automated analysis, classification and documentation of filter residues.
The tilting 3.5in LCD monitor, integrated into the control pad, allows adjustable observation at the ideal angle.
Users can now view images in the same unit as the camera controls, making work quicker and more comfortable.
Real-time display of large, easy-to-see images allows faster, more accurate focusing and framing.
Date, time, shutter speed and file name are displayed and stored together with the image and up to 16 acquired images can be displayed at one time for on-screen image selection.
A calibrated scale bar can be superimposed, then saved and printed with the image.
Pin-sharp focusing even at low magnifications is made possible with a focusing indicator and a 2x electronic zoom function.
The camera is operated entirely from a small and rugged keypad and screen, with all controls near the operator's hand.
This eliminates the need to touch the camera head or the microscope for exposure, reducing the risk of camera shake.
