Optimized Image Quality with Basler’s New Feature, Vignetting Correction


With “Vignetting Correction” Basler expands the image processing options of its ace U and ace L product lines with a feature that enables the correction of edge shadowing. Vignetting is a well-known


phenomenon in image processing and describes the decrease in image brightness toward the edge. If the image circle of the lens used is too small in relation to the camera sensor, this effect can manifest strongly and affect the image quality accordingly.

EDAX Launches New Velocity™ Super EBSD Camera


AMETEK added a new, faster, low-noise CMOS camera to its Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series. Powered by a CMOS sensor, the Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series combines indexing speeds up to 4,500 indexed points per second with indexing success rates of 99% or


better. At these speeds, the Velocity™ cameras use 120 × 120 pixel EBSD patterns for improved band detection. Tis image resolution, combined with proven EDAX triplet indexing routines, provides orientation precision values of less than 0.1°.

Spectra III Light Engine


Lumencor’s next-generation Spectra light engine incorporates eight independently addressable solid-state light sources, each delivering ∼500 mW at the end of a light guide. Spectral content is optimized for DAPI, CFP, GFP, YFP, Cy3, mCherry, Cy5, and Cy7 excitation. Optical power is stabilized for exceptional reproducibility and quantitation.


Microsecond switching between color bands is enabled by TTL triggering. Spectra III is not only bright, but undeniably reliable, stable, and consistent.

46 doi:10.1017/S1551929519000555 Laboratory Evaluation of a Robotic Operative Microscope


Several novel robotic functions integrated into the KINEVO 900 provide improved ergonomics, with a potential to increase the viewing quality of neurosurgical procedures, including illumination and visualization. Tere is no need to constantly adjust the parameters of the microscopic visualization during surgery. Considering that up to 40% of total surgery duration is spent adjusting


the microscope, this technology could serve to decrease operative time.

Vision Engineering Unveils New 3D Digital Display Technology


Vision Engineering’s DRV (Deep Reality Viewer) creates stereo high-definition 3D images without using a monitor or requiring operators to wear headsets or specialist glasses: images “float” in front of a mirror. Using Vision Engineering’s globally patented TriTeQ3


digital 3D


display technology, the DRV Z1 (Zoom model 1) incorporates a zoom microscope module and is the first device of its class to be launched by the manufacturer.

Pfeiffer Vacuum Introduces New HiPace 700 H Turbopumps


Featuring extremely high-compression models with its new turbopumps and a compression ratio of≥2·107


for hydrogen,


they are suitable for generating high and ultra-high vacuum. Due to the high compression ratio, a low residual gas spectrum, which is desirable for certain mass spectrometry applications, is created


in the chamber. Due to their advanced rotor designs, HiPace 700 H turbopumps have an exceptionally high critical backing pressure capability of 22 hPa.
