Enjoy the Ergonomic Advantage...

Companies choose the Lynx EVO microscope because they know it improves operator efficiency, precision, and productivity. This offers advantages for both the operator and the company.

1. Superb 3D (Stereo) Vision

The primary advantage of the Lynx EVO is its exceptional 3D (stereo) images viewed through an ergonomic lens. The patented eyepiece-less optical technology allows users to look around the object, providing a better 3D view and improved depth perception.

2. Natural View of the Object

With conventional stereo microscopes with eyepieces, users must position their eyes extremely close to the eyepiece, blocking ambient light. The intense light from the eyepiece causes pupils to contract. Constant pupil contraction is the main cause of eye strain, which can lead to headaches. With the Lynx EVO's eyepiece-less design, users are further from the optical device, allowing them to benefit from ambient light for a completely natural view of the object.

3. Ability to Wear Glasses

With the Lynx EVO microscope, operators do not need to remove their prescription (or safety) glasses to use it. It can even be easily used in a laminar flow hood or a safety enclosure.

4. Protection Against Cross-Contamination and Sample Contamination

Eliminating contact between the eyepiece and the user helps maintain the cleanliness of the Lynx EVO microscope and also prevents user contamination of sensitive samples in clean and sterile environments.

5. Ergonomic Work Position

An ergonomic work position not only makes using the Lynx EVO microscope more comfortable and much less fatiguing, but also greatly facilitates it. Furthermore, optimal ergonomics minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries for the operator.

6. Head Movement Freedom

Another advantage of Vision Engineering's patented eyepiece-less models is that operators do not need to align their eyes with the viewing lens. This freedom of movement reduces neck and back strain associated with the fixed body position imposed by binocular stereo microscopes.

7. Easy Hand-Eye Coordination

Thanks to the distance from the viewing lens, users have much better peripheral vision and natural hand-eye coordination, essential for tasks such as inspection, rework, repair, dissection, and other precision manipulation activities.

Lynx EVO Accessories

Multiplier

Increases magnification and zoom range by a factor of 1.5x or 2x, thereby extending the system's magnification capabilities without changing the working distance. Available on 1.5x and 2x versions, a sliding lever allows simple engagement or disengagement of the multiplier as needed.

Floating Stage

A floating stage is offered as an accessory for the Ergo support to provide smooth and precise control, ideal for inspecting sensitive samples, checking component uniformity, or scaling or measuring objects using the measuring reticle.

Objectives

Choose from a full range of objectives to obtain the desired magnification or working distance. The objectives are coated with an anti-reflection layer for better imaging performance.

360° Rotating Optical Device

The 360° rotating optical device for the Lynx EVO microscope is the ultimate inspection accessory, offering a 360° view of the object (at a 34° angle). Operators can easily switch from a rotated view to a conventional direct view.

The operator can thus view an object from a 34° angle relative to the vertical by rotating it 360° to obtain a complete stereo view of 3D objects. Thanks to the 360° rotation, it is possible to optimally observe electronic, mechanical, medical, and plastic components, for example. The 34° angle allows details to be seen at the base of any vertical component or feature. The operator can easily switch from a 360° rotated view to a conventional direct view for ultimate comfort. Includes an 8 LED ring light and an objective.

Smart Cam

The integrated HD camera with its software provides image and video acquisition and annotation functions for documentation, with simultaneous on-screen display (on a computer). Ideal for demonstrations or training. Easy and practical image and video acquisition while retaining both optical paths for simultaneous stereo viewing. USB2.0 interface for easy connectivity.

Camera Information

Imaging Software

The included software provides an easy annotation function and rapid report generation for inspected products. Annotations can be loaded into separate files for use during model verification. Easy-to-use image acquisition function in JPEG, PNG compressed, or uncompressed BMP format. Video recording function in AVI format, highly compatible for greater control of video sequences.

Measurement Software Option

DimensionOne™ is a high-performance software solution for the Lynx EVO microscope that offers an enhanced annotation function, as well as the ability to perform on-screen sizing and measurements. DimensionOne™ is supplied with a CD and a calibration object for easy on-screen measurements. Other compatible software solutions are also available.

How the Lynx EVO Works: Dynascope® Technology

The Lynx EVO microscope's patented eyepiece-less Dynascope® projection optics have been enhanced. This technology, which makes conventional microscope eyepieces redundant, provides superb high-contrast images, unparalleled ergonomic performance, and exceptional ease of use.

Dynascope® Technology at a Glance

The Lynx EVO is a true stereo optical microscope. High-resolution optical images with accurate color rendition are viewed using the ergonomic eyepiece-less optical device. Light reflected by the patented Dynascope® optics exits through the unique viewing lens in two (stereo) light beams. The large diameter of these beams allows users to avoid precisely aligning their eyes with the viewing lens to see the image.

The result: High-resolution 3D stereo images that are extremely easy to see... without eyepieces.

Did You Know?

The patented Dynascope® eyepiece-less technology relies primarily on a rotating multi-lenticular disc. On the surface of this disc are over 3.5 million individual lenses (called lenticules) which act as independent image-forming surfaces. Each individual lens has a diameter of only a few microns (1 micron = 0.001 mm). This multi-lenticular disc rotates at high speed to fuse the millions of optical paths into a single, high-clarity image.

Applications

Electronics

The Lynx EVO microscope is ideal for inspecting and reworking electronic printed circuit boards. The Lynx EVO's patented optical device provides unmatched 3D images plus ergonomic benefits for excellent hand-eye coordination.

Medical Devices

From endoprosthetics to catheters, medical device components require complete inspection to ensure all products meet exact specifications. With the Lynx EVO, operators can see every detail, every time, and throughout their entire shift.

Precision Mechanics

Precision mechanical components span a vast number of varied sectors, from aerospace or automotive to watchmaking and general manufacturing. The Lynx EVO microscope is ideal for precision inspection thanks to its visual accuracy and superior ergonomics, which help minimize errors caused by user fatigue.

Seals, gaskets, caps, and rubber closure systems are designed to function efficiently. Quality inspection is a crucial task. Superb 3D (stereo) visualization with a long working distance facilitates inspection or rework tasks, such as deburring.

Laboratory / Life Sciences

The Lynx EVO facilitates sample preparation and dissection operations in the laboratory, while also making these operations safer. Its eyepiece-less optical device not only allows for wearing glasses (prescription or safety), but also for using the microscope inside a laminar flow hood or a safety enclosure.

The Lynx EVO can be used in thousands of inspection tasks, from forensics to fiber optics, solar cells, and packaging.
