Software adds analytical capabilities to Olympus DSX1000 digital microscope

Olympus has introduced new software that adds measurement capabilities and usability upgrades to its DSX1000 digital microscope. Automatic edge detection is available on in-plane and profile measurements, enabling users to measure features and defects more easily during QA/QC inspections. Other new functions include measuring the difference between two data points, analysis templates that enable users to automate analysis tasks, stitched images with a wider field of view and higher resolution, and time-lapse imaging.

When the analysis is complete, the software enables users to export data to third-party software, such as CAD programs, as well as display the measurement results with image and surface profile data in custom reports tailored to the application.

When users change objectives, the software prompts them to select their new lens. The microscope then automatically changes focus position so that the user can immediately get back to work rather than wasting time readjusting the focus.
