Top-Eye™ 11S

Digital Microscopy Top-Eye™ for topography analysis

Top-Eye is a very handy and easy to use system for surface topography analysis and 3D surface modeling with DFD technology. This setup is built with BYOS building blocks. The modules facilitate a convenient way to build a specific application with using additional accessories. Top-eye system is great tool for engineering and scientific applications.

Digital Microscope for topography analysis

A new Digital Microscope from Micro-optik - TOP-EYE was developed to satisfy scientists and engineers need to provide a sophisticated microscopic tool with many powerful features on board. A Tool, which can be used for broad range of applications allowing to get a visual presentation of the micro surfaces, particles, composite materials, etc. and make virtual high quality 2D and 3D models.

TOP-EYE is based on an unique open technology concept where all the building blocks are the best available on the market with a proven track record in performance. For all the applications, microscopic and machine vision components are added to the system console with a simple plug and play.

3D Synthesis & Control

Microptik Top-Eye digital microscope for building 2D and 3D models

TOP-EYE uses a motorized axis to acquire images with height information. Collection and processing of the images lead to a 3D surface model. Proprietary image analysis algorithms assure a smooth and flawless merging of all images into a true color 3D display. So called D.F.D. method enables image composition using less sampling data than conventional models.

The D.F.D. method calculates the positions of projections and depressions in the area in which focus cannot be obtained based on multiple images and obtains the data of height differences. As a result, image composition is enabled with less sampling data. There is no need to capture images at all focus positions, enhancing the efficiency of analysis operations. For better visualization we realized different methods of the Volume Rendering - cloud of points, graticule, vertical triangulation. User friendly interfacing allows easy manipulation with the 3D models.

For high magnification applications requiring the optimal balance between optical performance, large zoom range and price, the 12X zoom is an ideal choice. This great combination of zoom range, coupled with larger field coverage, means that you will now be able to view a wider range of parts with a single video inspection system and eliminate the need for bulky microscopes. With optional lens adapters and the 12:1 zoom ratio a dynamic magnification of 0,007-503x (0,8 micron resolution) is reached for inspection for a wider range of applications.

2D & 3D measurements:

The 3D topography evaluation features of the TOP-EYE system additionally allow to measure any kind of 2D geometrical feature, using Point, Line, Polygon, Circle and other tools. It allows performing measurements: between two points; consecutive line; perpendicular line; circle; between parallel lines; angle; polygon perimeter and area; XY coordinates of the objects; 3D profiles; colour profiles; etc. The profile features are convenient for quality control inspection. Profile can be obtained from any kind of measurement. All measurements and calculations can be exported as pictures or as standard MS Office files for further processing. For reversed engineering applications we provide tools to convert coordinates into Solid Works drawings.

furthermore, TOP-EYE allows to calculate morphometric features of the object’s defects/particles, including - Elongation, Roundness, Compactness, Roughness, Convexity, and much more...
Elongation - locates the centre of gravity, builds the longest axis in the particle and the axis orthogonal through the centre. The value of elongation is 100% minus the relation between the longest and the orthogonal axis. The elongation of a circle is 0, all other forms are >0 and <100%.
Roundness - locates the centre of gravity and builds the biggest inner and the smallest outer circle around it. The value of roundness is the relation between the inner and the outer circle. The roundness of a circle is 100%, all other forms <100%.
Compactness - is calculated as the relation between the objects area. A perfect circle has a compactness of 100%.
Roughness - is the relation of the areas which can be built by circuits of 80% of sieve diameter and the built area. It is a characteristic number for all domes sticked out of a particle.
Convexity - builds a rubber band around the particle and determines the inner area. The value of convexity is the relation between the area of the particle and the built rubber band area. It is a characteristic number for all indentations of a particle.
And much more...
