In industrial manufacturing, micrometres often decide between quality and rejection. Surface cracks, faulty welds, porous coatings – such defects remain hidden to the naked eye but later lead to expensive claims. A professional stereo microscope makes all the difference: it reveals what would otherwise go unnoticed and transforms quality inspection from spot checks into systematic control.
High Depth of Field
The true-colour, three-dimensional image of the Kaps stereo microscopes reveals even the smallest details. Surface structures at various levels remain consistently sharp, requiring no constant refocusing when examining complex geometries.
Daylight Quality
The LEDone light source of the SLM series provides illumination of daylight quality. Material colours are accurately reproduced, and surface defects are immediately apparent.
Fatigue-Free Operation
The ergonomic design allows the examiner to work precisely and without fatigue. The upright sitting posture significantly reduces strain, even during shift work.
Documentation at the Push of a Button
With an optional DSLR photo tube for Canon and Nikon or an HD photo adapter for Sony Alpha, findings can be documented directly. Multi-coated anti-reflective high-end optics ensure full-frame, distortion-free images.
Modular Expansion
The proven modular system allows for the easy adaptation of accessories at any time. Observer devices for training or documentation accessories can be added as needed.
SLM 1 The larger table microscope of the SLM series provides maximum stability for stationary inspection workstations. The large base plate allows for the accommodation of larger components, and the long focusing drive provides flexibility for different object heights.
