(KEYENCE Corp.: Woodcliff Lake, NJ) -- The new KEYENCE VHX-600 Generation II Digital Microscope now features the world’s first 16-bit imaging resolution. This resolution increase makes subtle color differences visible, and optimizes areas that were previously too dark or bright. The brightness range has been increased from the previous 256 levels to 65,536 levels. Likewise, the 3CCD color clarity has improved from 16 million to more than 2.8 trillion colors.

With the high-dynamic range function (HDR), the advanced high-performance graphic engine creates images in 16-bit gradation through the acquisition of red, green, blue (RGB) data from each pixel. When compared to conventional eight-bit data processing, infinitely more detailed profiles can be acquired and represented.
