Edge 3D panfocal imaging system

Edge 3D Panfocal Microscopy offers confocal-like results at 1/10th the price, plug and play accessories to convert your current light microscope into a 3D image analysis system.

The Edge 3D Panfocal Imaging System is compatible with your upright or inverted microscope, with transmitted, reflected and fluorescence illumination. It's simple to set up. Just attach a Prior focus device to your microscope's focus knob, and then download the Edge 3D Panfocal Software onto your Windows 10 computer. The Panfocal software takes control of your microscope focus and USB camera to automate Z-focus stacking and produce 3D images with dramatically extended depth of field.

Edge 3D Illumination System is an optional accessory for transmitted light microscopes for live-cell imaging provides real-time 3D without z-focus stacking. The 3D illuminator offers extraordinary 2D capabilities such as superior resolution and contrast with extended depth of focus.

Features:

• Z-Focus Stacking and Reconstruction
• 3D Measurements
• Tomography
• Stereo 3D
• Topography Surface Profiling (reflective light only)
• Compatible with your current microscope - Transmitted, reflected, or epi-fluorescence illumination
• Compatible with most optical systems, including Brightfield, Darkfield, Phase Contrast DIC, Polarisation

Why 3D? Reveal Hidden Depth Information. Reduce misdiagnosis. Increase productivity

Why Edge 3D? Fully automated 3D imaging. 5 Types of 3D Visualisation. Plug & play and user friendly

Modes of Operation: Transmitted, Reflected, and Oblique Illumination, Brightfield/darkfield, Phase Contrast, Polarisation, Epi-Fluorescence.

Applications:

• Neuroscience - Your microscope becomes the ultimate Neurobiology microscope as it defines and reveals the complex three-dimensional networks of the nervous system.
• Forensic Science - Increased visual information and several modes of imaging is the ideal  tool for Forensic Science.
• Industry - The full depth of focus is ideal for examining a large range of different industrial products for quality control, production line vision, and failure analysis applications.
• Geology - Examine rocks, pebbles, sand or polished sections, all with amazing three-dimensional clarity. The rotational 3D motion movie to the right demonstrates how much 3D information exists even in a polished section of a meteroite.
• Biology - Extended depth of focus features provide greatly enhanced imaging of thick, real-world specimens encountered in applications such as marine biology and plant biology.
• Microelectronics - Helps to solve the difficult problems encountered in visualising the placement and integrity of circuitry components, such as bond testing application as seen in the image on the right.
• Pathology - Ideal for specimens such as PAP smears and needle biopsies. The rich depth information provides results in less false negatives. Section samples to 50µm thick, rather than the standard 5µm sections. Three-dimensional visualisation of thick samples improves both productivity and accuracy.

Edge 3D Basic Panfocal Imaging System requires: Your Microscope, Computer, Monitor + Prior Focus Device + Edge 3D Software and Glasses

Six Modes of 3D Imaging

1. Motion parallax 3D movie loops
