SX Microscope Range: Easier Medical Device Inspection

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, July 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) The inspection of medical devices is crucial since these are used in prevention, diagnosis, operation, treatment and other medical tasks. Used worldwide in health care facilities, medical devices are key players in the medical and scientific industries. Be it simple or complex, in the manufacturing process of these specific devices, it is important that proper quality control inspection is carried out. Critical attention is needed since lives are at stake when these devices do not meet quality control standards.

With different options to suit different requirements, Vision Engineering has introduced the new and affordable SX stereo zoom microscopes. The SX range is perfect for critical PCB inspections as all microscopes from this range are equipped with outstanding optics and a wide variety of magnification. This range is comprised of the SX25, SX45, SX80 and the SX100. These microscopes can be purchased at SMTinspection.

SX25 Binocular Microscope

This microscope is an entry-level, yet high quality device. Designed to provide outstanding results, the SX25 binocular microscope is ideally used for routine life science and industrial applications. It has a standard magnification range of x10-x45. It has a working distance of 97mm up to 180mm. With high quality optics, the SX25 boasts of flat field imaging while at the same time delivering high resolution images. Robust and easy to use, the microscope is designed to provide outstanding value without compromising performance.

SX45 Binocular Microscope and Trinocular Microscope

Another affordable device, the SX45 Greenough stereo microscope provides high quality stereo viewing. This model is equipped with an extra-long working distance that can range from 115mm up to 220mm for assembly, manipulation and inspection tasks. The SX45 binocular microscope has a compact design and a standard magnification range of x8-x50. The SX45 trinocular microscope, meanwhile, has a head option that can be used with a digital or video camera to utilize its image capture capabilities.

SX80 Trinocular Microscope

This higher end microscope allows fast and accurate viewing of all subjects with a standard magnification range of x8-x64. Clarity or contrast of the image is not compromised since the SX80 produces high quality stereo images. It has a standard working distance of up to 78mm to 130mm. A more advanced microscope, the SX80 has a compact and modular design allowing accessories to be added to the configuration. This model has a modular photo tube option and can be used with a digital or video camera to utilize its image capture capabilities.
