- Supports measurement data saved in a separate layer with image content for traceable inspection records
Application Scenarios
- Real-time inspection of PCB solder joints under a stereo microscope with image streamed to a monitor
- Online teaching sessions where students view live microscope feeds on tablets or smartphones
- Documentation of biological specimens with 8MP images and measurement data saved with each file
- Quality control in a production line using WiFi transmission to a central monitoring station
- Field use with SD card storage when no computer is available for immediate data transfer
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers performing SMD and BGA inspection with stereo microscopes
- Universities and schools conducting live microscopy demonstrations in teaching labs
- Clinical and research labs requiring image documentation with measurement metadata
- Field technicians using portable microscopes with on-site image capture and storage
- Quality departments needing traceable inspection records with embedded measurement data
Problems It Solves
- A microscope without a digital output forces the operator to describe defects instead of showing them
- Limited output options prevent simultaneous use of a monitor, mobile device, and PC
- Lack of local storage means images cannot be saved when a computer is not connected
- No embedded software control requires a separate PC just to adjust camera settings
- Measurement data lost when images are transferred without metadata attachment
Technical Features
- Sony Exmor/STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS sensor with high sensitivity and low dark signal
- Automatic resolution switching between 4K and 1080P based on connected monitor
- Multiple output interfaces: HDMI, WiFi, USB3.0, and SD card for flexible deployment
- Local image and video storage with support for SD card and USB flash drive
- Embedded XCamView software for camera control and image processing without a PC
- ToupView/ToupLite software for PC-based image capture and analysis
- iOS and Android apps for live viewing and recording on smartphones and tablets
- Measurement data saved in a separate layer with image content for traceability
