ZTC-203-10X-o2CFS TetraCAM Documentation Camera System for Forensic Science by Zarbeco

The TetraCam is a portable digital microscope and macro imaging system. The 1-40x magnification system is quick to setup and easy to use. It will image from a full page down to the individual specks of laser printer toner using the 2.0 megapixel camera, which has four times the resolution of a conventional video camera. There is a large working distance with plenty of room to position your samples. The stand allows adjustment of height and camera angle while the camera's quick release mount provides for hand-held use.

The TetraCam includes a range of lighting systems. Use the fluorescent lamp for large area imaging. The supplemental LED light adds brightness at high magnifications and also provides oblique illumination to look at surface features like paper fibers and signature indentation.

The included Video ToolBox PRO software provides an easy-to-use interface for image and movie capture, labeling, annotation and advanced measurement tools. It lets you place time stamps, grids and reticles over the live image; you can even draw directly on the live image. The camera also includes DirectShow and TWAIN drivers so it is compatible with most editing programs and image databases.

CW-ZDM2 CaliWedge for ZDM and other Microscopes Patent Pending One Step Software Calibration by Zarbeco

The CaliWedge (Patent Pending No. 15/062,663) is the new and easy way to use the included Wedge Reader PC software for one-button calibration on your MiScope and MiScope Megapixel 2.

Calibration, magnification, telecentricity, distortion, field curvature, depth of field and more are easily obtained. With the included advanced interferometry techniques in the Wedge Reader PC software you will get an accurate calibration that is compensated for lens distortion.

First place the object you want to measure under your ZDM or other microscope and focus it using the focus block. Then, place your CaliWedge under your lens, and move it until it is in focus on the center of the CaliWedge lines (without moving the focus again). Then click the wedge button in your Wedge Reader software and your ZDM or other microscope is now calibrated. Now use your ZDM software for measurements of the object you previously focused on using your Video Toolbox PRO or Premier PC software and it is calibrated for accurate measurement. If you are using another microscope and don't have Video Toolbox PRO or Premier software, you can enter the calibration into your microscope's measurement software.

Features

• Includes CaliWedge matched for your specific microscope or optical system
• One-button calibration software that integrates with Video Toolbox PRO and Video Toolbox Premier (purchase separately)
• Wedge Reader PC Software opens all common image formats to analyze optic parameters including magnification, distortion, field curvature and telecentricity.

The optional artulated arm lets you quickly adjust the viewing angle and magnification, then lock the microscope in place with the twist of a knob.

When you need to switch from visual inspection to critical measurement and documentation, connect the microscope to a computer through the USB output and use the included Video ToolBox Pro software. Video ToolBox Pro has all the features you need, from image or video capture, to markup, to CAD quality measurements that you can export to EXCEL® for further analysis. The software produces adjustable reticles and grids for visual measuement or add calibrated custom overlays for quick visual evaluation of your parts. Draw directly on the live image to show defects or areas that need more careful inspection. Even record a video of your entire inspection procedure for training purposes.

Whether you need to inspect circuit boards, medical devices, optical components or other small parts, the dual HDMI + USB microscope gives you two scopes in one -- a high speed video inspection microscope and a portable software based analysis microscope.

MGridSet Measurement Grid with Holder by Zarbeco

This Metric Grid has a 10 x 10 Matrix of .7mm x .7mm Squares. One square is further divided into a 10 x 10 Matrix of .07mm Squares. The Grid Line Widths are .001"± .0001" (.025mm±.0025mm).

The Pattern can be in direct contact with the object to be measured. The MGrid can be used to calibrate your MiScope or digital microscope. The holder can be used to raise your MiScope to be even with the MGrid when calibration of a flat object (like paper).
