As technology has improved in cameras, monitors, computers and software so has risen the popularity of Digital Microscopes. Below we breakdown the differences between a Digital Microscope and Compound Microscope. Each tool has its benefits based on your applications.
. | Motorized Compound Microscope: | Digital Microscope: |
. | • Better Resolution | • Better Depth of Field |
. | • Better Color Correction | • Has better working distance to accommodate samples w/ varying heights |
. | • Has eyepieces for best possible viewing inspection | • Must work off the computer screen exclusively |
. | • Can customize every feature to your specific needs | • Is one integrated solution |
. | • Can do more accurate automated defect inspection | • Can tilt in order to inspect and view samples on their sides |
Motic’s PA family of microscopes is an ideal solution for the inspection of the defects mentioned above.
