  • Nikon's measuring microscope is 50% smaller

    -- Test & Measurement World, 5/14/2009 9:00:00 AM

    Occupying a footprint of just 420x297 mm, the MM-200 measuring microscope from Nikon Instruments is 50% smaller than existing Nikon MM models and weighs only 40 kg. The scope, which can be used for measuring a variety of metal, plastic, and electronic parts, has a built-in 2x2-in. O3L type digital stage with a rotating table and digital backpack control interface unit.

    Focusing motion-control mechanics on the MM-200 have been newly designed to optimize the frequently used objective lenses from 1X to 10X, and the gear ratio has been matched to make focusing faster. The MM-200’s built-in digital stage maintains traveling accuracy, achieving the same 0.0001-µm readout as the existing MM-400/800 series.

    The microscope features built-in episcopic and diascopic light sources based on long-life, high-intensity, white light LEDs. With no expensive bulbs to change, down time is eliminated and operating cost is minimized. An optional 8-segment LED ring light enhances edge observation through oblique illumination.

    A dedicated C-mount video head allows for easy connection with E-MAX data processing software. Used in combination with Nikon’s digital still camera, the DS-2Mv, the E-MAX software enables advanced measurement and image processing functions, including automated edge detection.
