What are the classifications of measuring microscopes?
Measuring microscopes have become popular in recent years, especially for observing and measuring precision parts and objects that are not easily moved in the manufacturing industry. Measuring microscopes are one type of optical measuring instrument, which are used for two-dimensional coordinate size measurement with an aiming microscope and a coordinate worktable. They use transmission and reflection methods to make precise measurements of the length and angle of workpieces, and are ideal for a wide range of small precision measuring tasks. So what are the classifications of measuring microscopes? Let me introduce them to you.
1. Optical measuring microscope:
Optical measuring microscopes use transmission and reflection methods to make precise measurements of the length and angle of workpieces. They are particularly suitable for testing video heads, large-scale integrated circuit linewidths, and other precision parts. They are widely used in metrology departments, production lines, scientific research departments, and other areas.
The main advantages of optical measuring microscopes are that the worktable can not only move in X and Y coordinates, but also rotate 360° and measure the Z coordinate in the height direction. They use binocular eyepieces for observation, and the illumination system can provide transmission, reflection, and oblique illumination. Optical measuring microscopes can be connected to CCD video cameras to enlarge the contours of workpieces, and can also be connected to computers for data processing and other measurements. They are ideal small precision measuring instruments for fixed locations.
2. Digital measuring microscope:
Digital measuring microscopes are a popular type of microscope that converts the images of the objects observed under the microscope into digital images that are displayed on the microscope's built-in screen or on a computer screen via analog-to-digital conversion. They are particularly suitable for observing and measuring precision parts and objects that are not easily moved in the manufacturing industry. They are widely used in production lines, scientific research departments, and other areas.
The main advantages of digital measuring microscopes are that they are small and portable, and only require a computer to observe micro-enlarged images, perform accurate data measurements, and backup images and data. They can also be customized with special light sources (fluorescent, infrared) for special observation locations as needed. Digital measuring microscopes have been widely used for several years and have become a reliable and practical precision measuring instrument.
The above is an introduction to the classifications of measuring microscopes. Measuring microscopes are mainly used in the electronics industry, hardware industry, and some precision engineering. They have broad applications in the plastics industry, medical industry, biomedical science, and public security systems. They are indispensable precision instruments for observing the construction of circuit boards and measuring the accurate distances between parts in the electronics industry.
