3D Stereo. 3D Digital. Perfect Zoom.

View and share 3D images and video from an optical stereo zoom microscope. Combining technologies of Deep Reality Viewer (DRV) for 3D imaging with great depth perception, and Nikon SMZ for outstanding 25:1 zoom ratio, excellent image details and magnifications up to 800x.

DRV N Series digital stereo microscope with user

Deep Reality Viewer

Using the Deep Reality Viewer (DRV) display head, teams can view capture, recall and share 3D images and video from optical stereo microscopes in real time.

The patented ergonomic digital stereo display enhances the users’ experience with remote live 3D view of subjects.

3D improves inspection

Avoid confusion by using a 3D inspection system. Viewing subjects in 3D enhances understanding of the subject shape, including depth, length and height.

Improved depth perception allows you to easily understand subject texture and see differences between shadows and raised or recessed areas of a component. This results in improved visual inspection routine, accuracy and speed.

Optical performance

25:1 high zoom range and excellent optical quality make the DRV N  Series ideal for viewing small, detailed subjects.

Plan Apo objectives allow a wide field of view, superior flatness and colour aberration correction. When used with the intelligent turret they can offer up to 100:1 magnification range in a single system.

Improved decision making

DRV N Series, like the rest of the Vision Engineering DRV system capability, shares live or recorded 3D images and video.

Connect your team, project group or supply chain in multiple locations and benefit from faster sample and product validation, adding value and reducing cost through increased efficiency.

Alternatively, capture and share one off or hard to repeat events in 3D stereo for sharing locally or remotely.

Simultaneous viewing

One or multiple units can be linked to allow supervisors to oversee activity in 2D or 3D without interference in production activities.

Ideal for training. Showing operators images in 3D helps them to understand more information more quickly and utilise the enhanced 3D view to optimise their performance.

Healthy contactless viewing

Viewing samples with the DRV viewer ensures eyes are not in contact with system to avoid infection and can be used when access to the subject is not practical, easy or safe.

DRV ergonomic design reduces eye, neck and back fatigue, and allows freedom of head movement and a natural view of the subject.

Simple effective remote control

The remote control ensures quick access to zoom and focus settings. The LCD display provides information on zoom factor, focus position, lens, filter cube and gives additional control of the diascopic base.

Detailed repeatable positioning

Motorised and manual system configurations with integrated encoders ensure detailed and repeatable positioning and readouts.

EPI and fluorescence illumination

Bright-field and fluorescence EPI illumination expand range of applications for reflective subjects and subjects that require special lighting such as conformal coatings and plastics.

Seamless viewing at different scales

Seamless switch between whole sample imaging at low magnifications and detailed imaging at high magnifications when switching objective lenses with the Auto Link Zoom (ALZ) technology.

OCC Illuminator

Oblique coherent contrast is a form of lighting which enhances contrast seen in the subject. Ideal for low contrast subjects such as plastics and glass.

Frequently asked questions

Below you can find some of the most common questions.

Can I only view the images on a DRV display head?2021-11-30T11:18:32+00:00

To get the 3D stereo effect a display head should be used. However, Live 2D view is also possible by connecting the DRV to a standard monitor. Saved images can also be reviewed in 3D stereo on the DRV display or in 2D on a standard monitor.

Is DRV N Series motorised or manual zoom?2022-03-15T16:11:33+00:00

The DRV N Series can be configured with either the DRV N18 or the DRV N25 zooms. The N18 has manual zoom control, the N25 has motorised zoom control.

What is the difference between zoom ratio and magnification range?2022-03-15T16:13:58+00:00

Zoom ratio is the proportion of magnification change that is possible by changing the setting on the zoom body. For the DRV N25 this is 25:1 and for the DRV N18 is 18:1. Magnification range is the range of magnifications that are possible with the system including by changing objectives. Combined with the N25 this is 8x – 800x. with the N18 it is 9x – 727x.
