Vision Engineering to launch the revolutionary ProteQ VISO

Woking-based Vision Engineering, a global leader in ergonomic microscopy, digital stereo imaging and metrology solutions, will launch the new ProteQ VISO at EMO Hannover 2025, taking place 22 to 26 September. The new digital stereo microscope has a fully integrated ‘autostereo’ display, enabling true flatscreen 3-D image viewing without traditional eyepieces.

Engineered for advanced inspection labs and design, new product development, and prototyping functions, ProteQ VISO offers a leap forward in user comfort, collaborative efficiency and digital versatility, compared with 2-D systems — ideal for precision workflows including electronics, prototyping, and medical device development.

ProteQ VISO’s autostereo is an IPS LCD Display technology that does not require additional glasses or any other tools to provide vivid 3-D images. Viewers enjoy the immersive experience of 3-D images with less visual fatigue. Twin cameras located in the monitor and track the position of the user’s head and direct separate images to each eye, ensuring the user receives perfectly clear 3-D images, while enabling freedom of head movement.

ProteQ VISO’s upright viewing position, adjustable screen, and eye-point comfort redefine ergonomic microscopy — minimising fatigue and maximising productivity over extended sessions. Combined with live magnification indication and seamless 10:1 optical zoom, users can work with precision and ease. The microscope’s stereo image capabilities enhance depth perception, allowing intuitive 3-D interaction during inspection and prototyping. When collaboration is key, users can switch to mono viewing, enabling real-time discussion and shared analysis — whether in person or remotely.

Suite of digital features
ProteQ VISO introduces a suite of digital features for modern technical teams: Image Capture, Playback, and Streaming — capture images and video to USB or PC and share effortlessly across platforms; Picture-in-Picture & Overlays — reference views alongside live images with overlay support and preset saving; Annotation & Dimensioning Tools — add notes, measure features, and streamline reports; Peripheral & Network Integration — compatible with external software such as Dimension Two; users can access emails, Teams, and files directly from the interface.

The system also includes thoughtful touches for delicate applications — low-heat lighting, and a separatable display for both safety and clean cabinet setups. With lockable detents, quick-change lighting components, optional 360deg viewer, and sub-stage illumination, ProteQ VISO supports precision with flexibility.

Paul Newbatt, group sales and marketing director at Vision Engineering, said: “ProteQ VISO marks the next generation of ergonomic desktop digital microscopy. It empowers teams to work faster, collaborate smarter, and stay comfortable — all while experiencing true stereo clarity on-screen.”

ProteQ VISO is available to order now direct from Vision Engineering direct, or via its global distribution network. Prices start from £12,000.
