A new Digital Microscope from Micro-optik - TOP-EYE was developed to satisfy scientists and engineers need to provide a sophisticated microscopic tool with many powerful features on board. A Tool, which can be used for broad range of applications allowing to get a visual presentation of the micro surfaces, particles, composite materials, etc. and make virtual high quality 2D and 3D models. TOP-EYE is based on an unique open technology concept where all the building blocks are the best available on the market with a proven track record in performance. For all the applications, microscopic and machine vision components are added to the system console with a simple plug and play.

3D Synthesis & Control

TOP-EYE uses a motorized axis to acquire images with height information. Collection and processing of the images lead to a 3D surface model. Proprietary image analysis algorithms assure a smooth and flawless merging of all images into a true color 3D display. So called D.F.D. method enables image composition using less sampling data than conventional models. The D.F.D. method calculates the positions of projections and depressions in the area in which focus cannot be obtained based on multiple images and obtains the data of height differences. As a result, image composition is enabled with less sampling data. There is no need to capture images at all focus positions, enhancing the efficiency of analysis operations. For better visualization we realized different methods of the Volume Rendering - cloud of points, graticule, vertical triangulation. User friendly interfacing allows easy manipulation with the 3D models.
