Single or Multi-mag Optical Configurations

Exploring Single and Multi-Mag Optical Options

VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparators are available in industry standard 5X, 10X, 20X, 50X and 100X optical configurations, in either single or multi-mag configurations.

Multi-mag configurations still have a single front objective lens, but “under the hood” there is a 3-lens encoded motorized rotary turret. The movement of the 3-lens turret is completely controlled through the simple and intuitive VisionGauge® software interface. Simply press on a button to change the optical magnification. Also, the scaling of the CAD data and all of the optical calibration coefficients are automatically adjusted accordingly!

This innovative high-quality multi-mag system produces the same outstanding image quality as the single-mag configurations, including:

  • very high resolution
  • very sharp sharp edge profiles
  • very strong contrast (i.e. no problems with ambient illumination)
  • outstanding image clarity
  • long working distance
  • extended depth-of-field

Precision and Flexibility: Multi-Mag Optical Configurations

50X-part2

It’s also worth mentioning that the magnifications, when changing back-and-forth between objectives, are extremely repeatable. The measurement accuracy is, for all intents and purposes, the same as that of single-mag systems.

Finally, note that the various lenses in multi-mag units yield parcentric and parfocal results.

Many other optical configurations are also available. We can configure a system to meet your specific requirements!
