shareability but lost the depth perception that stereo microscopy gives you and asking whether we could get both.”
The company’ s development of ProteQ VISO offers a solution designed to address a fundamental challenge in modern digital inspection – how to combine the convenience, connectivity, and collaboration benefits of digital systems with the depth perception and visual understanding that traditional stereo microscopy provides.
“ ProteQ VISO is a 3D digital stereo microscope with a fully integrated autostereo display, so the operator sees a genuine three-dimensional image on a flat screen, with real depth and form, without eyepieces, headsets, or 3D glasses,” Jacques details.“ It uses cameras and intelligent eye-tracking to keep that 3D image clear and stable while the operator’ s hands stay completely free to manipulate the component. You get a smooth 10:1 zoom, live magnification readout, quickchange lighting modules, lockable detents, and a detachable display so it can be used in cleanroom environments.
“ What really sets it apart, though, is what happens when you need to collaborate,” he continues.“ You can switch instantly from 3D to 2D mono viewing for a group discussion, stream the live 3D view to colleagues anywhere in the world, and let multiple people annotate and measure on that shared view simultaneously. No other stereo microscope on the market lets you do that today. We’ re seeing strong uptake in electronics assembly and rework, PCB inspection, medical device development, and aerospace composite and surface inspection, precisely because those are all applications
