Description

VIC-3D Stereoscopic Microscopy System

Item No.: VIC-3D

The VIC-3D Stereoscopic Microscopy System is a high-precision optical system designed for measuring the surface shape, deformation, and strain of micro-scale specimens under applied loads. By integrating a stereomicroscope with a high-resolution machine vision camera, a custom beam splitter, a precise 3-axis electric (or manual) stage, and advanced distortion-correction software, this system enables high-magnification measurements with exceptional accuracy.

Applications

This system is ideal for measuring strain in composite fibers, solder joints, electrical components, biological materials, and other micro-scale specimens.

Addressing Measurement Challenges

Traditional methods often struggle to obtain three-dimensional DIC measurements on samples requiring high magnification due to the lack of optical elements with sufficient depth of field to capture two high-magnification images from different perspectives. Stereo microscopes overcome this depth-of-field limitation, but their complex optical systems introduce distortions not accounted for in standard calibration methods. Without correction, these distortions can lead to significant errors in shape and strain measurements, often exceeding several thousand micro-strains.

Solution: 3D Distortion Correction

Correlated Solutions has developed an easy-to-use calibration method that corrects the complex, non-radial optical distortions inherent in stereomicroscopes. This method completely eliminates shape and strain deviations, ensuring reliable measurement data.
