3D Inspection MicroscopeModule

SD Optics has developed customized 3D inspection optical module for Carl Zeiss, one of the world’s leading optical companies.

In 2020, Zeiss introduced 3D inspection microscope called‘Visioner 1’ to the market after years of joint development with SD Optics.

'Visioner 1’ overcame the depth of field(DoF) issues and became the first real-time 3D microscopeusing SD Optics’ ultra-fastvariable-focus device (MALS™).

MALS™ is a technology that automatically changes lens focus without additional actuators, which enables more than 100 times faster variablefocus speeds than traditional systems.

Zeiss describes ‘Visioner 1’ as the fastest and easiest digital microscope with unrivaled performance.

Product Feature

Conventional microscope systems have to move Z-axis to examine objects with height difference. This process is typically very time consuming. With SD Optics’ MALS ™, Zeiss ‘Visioner 1’ provides real-time Extended Depth of Field(EDoF). EDoF generates all-in focused images without re-focusing by Z-axis moving and delivers real-time 3D vision inspection results.

MALS™ is a virtual lens with a consistent array of micro-mirror.Each micro-mirror rotates to form curvature and optical representation. As each individual micro-mirror changes its orientation to create a lens curvature that fits the focus, it is possible to produce an all-in-focus images without Z-stacking or re-focusing.
