Surrey-based Vision Engineering Ltd (www.visioneng.com) unveiled the next generation of its EVO Cam digital microscope — EVO Cam II at MACH 2018.

Designed for the close inspection and recording of high-resolution images, this latest unit benefits from the addition of user-customisable overlays, on-board measurement and Wi-Fi image transfer — all supported by a 30:1 optical zoom and a maximum magnification in excess of 3,600x.

EVO Cam II replaces the original EVO Cam, which is already used for the inspection of electronics, automotive and aerospace components, as well as medical devices and plastic mouldings, for example.

High-definition images can be captured and stored on a USB memory stick; and when the unit is connected to a PC, images and video can be easily captured, stored and shared.

A ‘Wi-Fi dongle’ even allows direct sharing with PCs, laptops, tablet computers and smartphones. Furthermore, simple on-screen measurement can be performed with the aid of virtual callipers and scalable grids.

Also featured is a powerful LED ring light and sub-stage lighting for viewing translucent samples; a UV ring light accessory is available for electronic and other specific applications.

High-contrast subjects, such as reflective metals, can be viewed in more detail using EVO Cam II’s Wide Dynamic Range mode.

For additional clarity, EVO Cam II is available with a new range of objective lenses to deliver sharp images that are high in detail and contrast.
