Olympus DSX 1000 Optical Microscope

Olympus DSX 1000 Optical Microscope

The DXS 1000 is an advanced digital microscope which provides fast measurements and easy to use.  It can be used to observe and measure a variety of samples, including electronic components, metals, alloys, and polymers.  Users can also take a advantage of the microscope’s six observation methods to observe and measure a variety of features.  For example, techniques are available to highlight irregularities on a sample surface or emphasize contours.  The microscope has a streamlined inspection workflow for fast macro-to-micro viewing, and a large selection of lenses that are easy to change.  Simply place your sample and easily perform a series of operations from 3D observation to measurement and reporting.

    1.  Enables switching between 6 different observation methods (BF,OBQ,DF,MIX,PO,DIC).
    2. Large selection of lenses (1X,10X,20X,40X,50X) that are easy to change.
    3. Tilting frame which can be freely adjusted ± 90° to accommodate samples with many shapes and to view the samples from all angles.
    4. Rotatable motorized XY stage.
    5. Provides accurate measurements with a telecentric optical system.
    6. Resolving power of the objective: 0.3455/NA (Numerical Aperture).
