Desktop digital stereo microscope set to redefine inspection and design workflows
Vision Engineering announces the launch of ProteQ VISO, a digital stereo microscope with a fully integrated 'autostereo' display, enabling true flat screen 3D image viewing without traditional eyepieces.
Engineered for advanced inspection labs and design, new product development, and prototyping functions, ProteQ VISO offers a leap forward in user comfort, collaborative efficiency and digital versatility, compared with 2D systems - ideal for precision workflows including electronics, prototyping and medical device development.
ProteQ VISO's autostereo is an IPS LCD Display technology that does not require additional glasses or any other tools to provide vivid 3D images. Viewers enjoy the immersive experience of 3D images with less visual fatigue. Twin cameras located in the monitor and track the position of the user's head and direct separate images to each eye, ensuring the user receives perfectly clear 3D images, whilst enabling freedom of head movement.
Designed for ergonomics, built for efficiency
ProteQ VISO's upright viewing position, adjustable screen, and eye-point comfort redefine ergonomic microscopy - minimising fatigue and maximising productivity over extended sessions. Combined with live magnification indication and seamless 10:1 optical zoom, users can work with precision and ease.
The microscope's stereo image capabilities enhance depth perception, allowing intuitive 3D interaction during inspection and prototyping. When collaboration is key, users can switch to mono viewing, enabling real-time discussion and shared analysis - whether in person or remotely.
Empowering digital collaboration and connectivity
ProteQ VISO introduces a suite of digital features for modern technical teams:
Image Capture, Playback, and Streaming: Capture images and video to USB or PC and share effortlessly across platforms.
Picture-in-Picture and Overlays: Reference views alongside live images with overlay support and preset saving.
Annotation and Dimensioning Tools: Add notes, measure features, and streamline reports
Peripheral and Network Integration: Compatible with external software such as Dimension Two; users can access emails, Teams, and files directly from the interface.
The system also includes thoughtful touches for delicate applications - low-heat lighting, and a separatable display for both safety and clean cabinet setups. With lockable detents, quick-change lighting components, optional 360 degree viewer, and sub-stage illumination, ProteQ VISO supports precision with flexibility.
A leap forward in microscopy innovation
"ProteQ VISO marks the next generation of ergonomic desktop digital microscopy," said Paul Newbatt, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Vision Engineering. "It empowers teams to work faster, collaborate smarter, and stay comfortable - all while experiencing true stereo clarity on-screen."
ProteQ VISO is available to order now direct from Vision Engineering direct, or via its global distribution network. Prices start from 12,000.
