A LEAP FORWARD IN MICROSCOPY INNOVATION


Vision Engineering unveils ProteQ VISO: a desktop digital stereo microscope set to redefine inspection and design workflows


ision Engineering, global leader in ergonomic microscopy, digital stereo imaging and metrology solutions, has announced the launch of ProteQ VISO, a digital stereo microscope with a fully integrated ‘autostereo’ display, enabling true flat screen 3D image viewing without traditional eyepieces

Engineered for advanced inspection labs and design, new product development, and prototyping functions, ProteQ VISO offers a leap forward in user comfort, collaborative efficiency and digital versatility, compared with 2D systems — ideal for precision workflows including electronics, prototyping, and medical device development.


Autostereo display


ProteQ VISO’s autostereo is an IPS LCD Display technology that does not require


additional glasses or any other tools to provide vivid 3D images. Viewers enjoy the immersive experience of 3D images with less visual fatigue. Twin cameras located in the monitor track the position of the user’s head and direct separate images to each eye, ensuring the user receives perfectly clear 3D images, whilst enabling freedom of head movement.


Designed for ergonomics, Built for efficiency


ProteQ VISO’s upright viewing position, adjustable screen, and eye-point comfort redefine ergonomic microscopy — minimising fatigue and maximising productivity over extended sessions. Combined with live magnification


indication and seamless 10:1 optical zoom, users can work with precision and ease.


The microscope’s stereo image capabilities enhance depth perception, allowing intuitive 3D interaction during inspection and prototyping. When collaboration is key, users can switch to mono viewing, enabling real- time discussion and shared analysis — whether in person or remotely.


Empowering digital collaboration & connectivity


ProteQ VISO introduces a suite of digital features for modern technical teams: • Image Capture, Playback, and Streaming: Capture images and video to USB or PC and share effortlessly across platforms. • Picture-in-Picture & Overlays: Reference views alongside live images with overlay support and preset saving.


• Annotation & Dimensioning Tools: Add notes, measure features, and streamline reports


• Peripheral & Network Integration: Compatible with external software such as Dimension Two; users can access emails, Teams, and files directly from the interface.


The system also includes thoughtful touches for delicate applications — low-heat
