The HIROX 3-D Difference

15 F/S double buffer

The core strength of HIROX, as an optical lens maker, lies in its "observation ability". individual still images cannot represent 3-D geometry information. This is the only possible with the observation of moving pictures. The reality up to now was to sacrifice moving dynamics, because it was difficult to output large volume high resolution image as moving pictures. KH-3000 is the first unit to successfully realize super high resolution and moving picture output at the same time. The resolution is a 15 frames/sec (double buffers) output in UXGA(1600 x 1200 pixels) format. The diagrams below and 3 moving pictures show the differences of moving dynamics. You'll find not only speed (frames/sec) but also double buffers capability both significantly improving picture quality. Furthermore, KH-3000 is equipped with an S-video full moving picture output capability.

You can check the degree of focus in the 'Blue Bar' on the right side of the screen. It enables you to specify the focus area choosing any position and size on the screen, allowing you to check the degree of focus of the area not only by the image itself but also in numeric terms. It is possible to measure the height with Z-stage usage.

 

 


The color temperature of the metal halide lamp is 5600K (compared to a color temperature for halogen lamps of 3000K), which is much closer to natural light source with a well-balanced spectrum distribution. Its higher color renditrion capability allows it to reproduce samples in their originals vivid colors. Also, its luminance efficiency is five times higher than ordinary halogen lamps, meaning a 21W halide lamp is brighter than a conventional 100W halogen lamp.

 

The camera unit features that leverage lens performance for image quality improvement.

 



Just one-click allows automatic adjustment of both brightness and contrast.

 

Bottom lame coating painting of clear layer (3000x)




With a maximum of 8 seconds duration, an open shutter can achieve brighter observation without raising a gain.

 

Cap bottom (12x)


 


Splitting the screen into two (vertically or horizontally) or into quarters (4 up) can allow you to compare recorded images and present images freely.

Vertical 2up
(IC 100x)

 

 

4 up




There is an all-directional edge emphasizing capability that can create outlines to emphasize images in any or all directions.

 

Flexible solder (100x)




The Gamma value correction can improve the image where brightness value distribution is biased.

 

Oil pen point (60x)



Noise component alone can be removed from images in cases where the gain must be raised.

 


Our rich and unique lens adapters bring optimum observation and lighting to the individual.


A 360-degree rotational prism can provide you with real time and authentic observations from inclined angles. It is easy and requires less space compared to incline a lens. Multi Angle View3D Rotary HeadMoreover, observation through moving pictures allows you to perceive shapes clearly as if they were solid on your palm. This is also true for larger samples.

Universal Joint (20x)




It enables self-light emission observation by irradiating certain wavelengths of light onto samples that display own characteristic of fluorescence.

 

 

Liquid Polystyrene (600x)

 

Inside Cell of a compound eye (2000x)




It provides bright-visual-field observation through transmission using the transmitted illumination unit attached to the dedicated stand.

 

Blast Surface (180x)

 

With transmitted Lighting



Mag Change You can extend the magnification range. For example,MX-5040RZ lens (50x-400x) can be 20x-160x with low adapters or 100x-800x with high adapters.

Co-Axial LightingWe added co-axial side lighting capability to the bright-visual-field observable co-axial vertical lighting. This new function makes possible for you to observe three dimensionals shapes by emphasizing microscopic cracks and convex concaves that are visible under co-axial vertical lighting.

Polarizer
This is another observation method that utilizes differences in sample polarization characteristics. You can observe using this characteristic in such method as removing the surface reflection or coloring areas of distortion, for example in the resin, that are not visible under natural light.

You can lengthen the working distance by changing an adapter in the case of lens not allowing sufficient working distance.



Laser Slit Light
By irradiating a laser slit from a diagnal angle of 45 degrees, the height can be obtained by measuring the distance of a slit.
