Vision Engineering, British designer and manufacturer of non-contact measurement, digital 3D visualisation, and ergonomic inspection technologies, has announced a product combination with Nikon’s stereo microscopes from Nikon Metrology Europe NV, adding a higher magnification digital 3D inspection solution to its range of ergonomic inspection microscopy systems.

Vision Engineering’s 3D HD Deep Reality Viewer (DRV) together with Nikon’s SMZ25 & SMZ18 stereo microscopes creates a new, hybrid high zoom and high magnification digital 3D high-definition stereo imaging system, with an optical zoom ratio of 25:1 available today in stereo microscopy.

Users can view their subject in stereo digitally via Vision Engineering’s Deep Reality Viewer (DRV), and then capture and share the digital stereo image to colleagues, supply chain partners, or customers anywhere, in real time.

This solution represents a significant product combination between two of the world’s leading microscopy innovators in their respective markets and extends coverage into the global inspection market.

Paul Newbatt, Vision Engineering’s group sales and marketing director said: “We are delighted to be working with Nikon Metrology Europe NV products to create a ground-breaking new DRV inspection solution. Adding Nikon’s SMZ25 & SMZ18 compatibility to our DRV and already wide-ranging inspection microscopy product range further confirms our position as a leading provider of innovative, ergonomic inspection microscopy solutions in the electronics and precision engineering sectors.”
