The portable X-Loupe microscope camera (Picture 10) is irreplaceable for precise, fast and traceable documentation. This is a modified Canon IXUS camera with attachable battery module and three interchangeable lenses – of 60x, 100x and 150x magnification.

The lenses incorporate an adjustable LED light. This feature solves the most challenging illumination problems when taking micro photography. The X-Loupe is completely independent of all exterior light sources and can be used under any light conditions. Moreover the microscope camera can be combined with an UV lens, which enables defects estimation and further documentation under UV light.

The X-Loupe captures images of objects in the range from 15 mm to 0,005mm, making it possible to identify microscopic details that need attention, and via image management software making them available to customer within minutes. The software enables to transmit high definition images where observations, comments as well as measurements are included within the image. The image can then be sent as a JPEG file or as a detailed Excel spreadsheet.

As an example Picture shows cracks indication after treatment with MEF 515 magnetic particle suspension which is fluorescent under the day light. This microscope camera makes it possible not only to get high resolution pictures but also to estimate defect geometry.
