(Aven Inc.: Ann Arbor, MI) -- Quality control checks improve when inspectors see video magnification on an eye-level monitor, rather than bending over a microscope. That productivity and accuracy advantage is delivered by the VGA Color Digital Camera from Aven Inc.

It mounts on any microscope and feeds a high-definition signal to the VGA input connection on any monitor, eliminating PC compatibility issues and saving bench space.

Aven’s scientific-grade optical instrument has a 1/3 in., 2 megapixel CMOS sensor, digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry and four resolution settings.  

“Video microscopy allows quick, precise inspections of manufactured parts, circuit boards, surface mount technology, and other products,” says Mike Shahpurwala, president of Aven. “Operators examine magnified objects more comfortably on a video monitor than through microscope eyepieces, which can strain the neck and back. A well-designed video microscope inspection station improves alertness and reduces defect rates.”
