PRECiV PRECiV software from Olympus provides an intuitive interface that allows users in production, quality control and inspection roles to control any manual microscope to capture precise, repetitive 2D measurements. It can control all Olympus conventional industrial microscopes and read coded information from a set of devices including nosepieces, lighting and illuminators. This level of control ensures optimal precision of the manual panorama and images with extended depth of focus.
What’s new? PRECiV V.1.1 software. Its extended focal imaging (EFI) function acquires a series of multiple images in different focal planes, and the panorama function lets users stitch together a series of image captures as they move the stage across the sample. Users can then combine instant EFI and panorama images while keeping both hands on the microscope.
Benefits Faster inspections and measurements. The software optimizes an operator’s efficiency by shortening the cycle time for extracting quantitative information from an image and sharing the data over a network. PRECiV software is adapted to multi-user environments; the home screen can be customized for easy access of most-used features, while advanced settings can be hidden from newer users. While the software was designed for manual Olympus conventional industrial microscopes, it can be used with all microscopes and stereomicroscopes if their cameras are compatible.
