High Quality Images Start with High Quality Lenses

Inspection Power

 

Human beings have always had an instinctive desire to see things in the microscopic world with their own eyes. People who perform inspection rely on one type of perception, vision, to extract as much detailed information as possible from what they see. For a long time there have been two basic opinions about the nature of perception. One opinion was that of James J. Gibson. He believed that perception was a simple matter of passively receiving external information. The second point of view was that externally received information is transformed into new information through an active, creative process. At the time that this opinion was becoming more accepted, research conducted by David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel led to the understanding that neurons in the brain's "neuron power", making truly active inspection possible. This, combined with the necessary three elements for a superior video microscope system---optical design, mechanical design, and lighting design---give the Hirox system truly the highest inspection Power.


High Vividness, High Resolution Optical Design Technology

Magnified inspection basically starts with a lens. The superior optical characteristics of Hirox's lenses were developed from a new design idea quite unlike previously existing microscopes. First, special-use military optics were designed. However, with the development of the CCD camera, new lenses had to be designed especially to match the unique characteristics of the CCD. Hirox has always relied on its long-time knowledge and experience in optical technology, and as CCD technology continues to advance, Hirox also continues to provide new lenses with ever more vivid color and high resolution.  


High Precision and Dynamic Mechanical Design Technology

In order to create a high performance optical system, high quality mechanical design and manufacturing technology are required. Hirox's high-level mechanical design, with it succession of dynamic design concepts, have resulted in a wide variety of options and adapters, including the 3D Rotary Head adapter. Hirox will continue to meet the expanding needs of Hi-Scope users, providing new lenses and adapters for an ever wider range of inspection applications.


Perfect Lighting Technology Makes Good Lenses Even Better

At Hirox, we are not only developing lenses, but are also spending an equal amount of effort on our optical lighting system. Image capture and lighting must be considered at the same time. Lighting is not simply the application of light. Good lighting design is only realized through varying the lighting to match the sample _ long focus lighting, diffuse lighting, co-axial bright- field lighting and continuous variable angle lighting are a few examples. Furthermore, going beyond the concept of one lens and one lighting method, various lighting methods are made possible with a variety of lighting adapters. We provide the appropriate lighting for any sample that the inspector needs to see.
