Why Parallel Optics?

The parallel-optics range is the stronger platform when inspection must extend beyond visual observation into repeatable image acquisition, camera-based documentation and future system integration.

Three zoom platforms

Choose standard ranges of 8X-50X, 8X-65X or 8X-80X around the required field coverage and detail.

Camera integration

A one-port beam splitter directs the image to a compatible digital colour camera.

Broader objective ecosystem

The brochure lists achromatic, plan achromatic and plan apochromatic auxiliary objective choices.

Illumination flexibility

Brightfield, darkfield and polarizer illumination options support different surface and specimen conditions.

Automation pathway

Configured systems can add motorized XY positioning and focusing for repeated image capture.

Analysis integration

Configure the platform for weld and macro measurement or cleanliness particle analysis.

Built for Future Expansion

Begin with visual inspection and camera capture, then add positioning, illumination and software when the application requires them. These are system options, not standard inclusions.

Digital colour cameras

Add image acquisition and documentation through the supported beam-splitter camera port.

Motorized XY stage

A precision ball-screw-driven stage with controller and joystick is listed as an option.

Motorized focusing

The brochure identifies motorized focusing as a possible system extension.

Application software

Software configurations cover weld and macro image analysis or cleanliness particle analysis.
