3 TYPES OF CAMERAS CAPABLE OF LONG TIME VIDEO RECORDING

How to record for long periods of time

How long do you record for? How will it be stored? Is there a need to remotely view Live video? How many cameras are needed? There are various methods depending on the purpose. There are three main methods.

 

(1)Security camera

A camera and a recorder are required, and the camera and recorder are connected to one network. Videos are stored on the recorder. All necessary videos can be saved as data. Basically, Live video can be checked within the network.

 

Merit

 ・Long time recording (e.g. 1 month)

 ・Multiple cameras (e.g., 16 cameras) can be recorded

 ・All recorded data can be saved

Demerit

 ・Wiring and setup are complex (generally done by a professional installer).

 ・Cameras are relatively inexpensive, but recorders are expensive.

  (Recorder prices vary depending on the number of units and capacity of recorders that can be connected.)

 ・Cameras are often integrated and lenses are not interchangeable.

(2)Cloud Camera

In this system, you purchase only the camera and pay a monthly fee for cloud usage. Videos are stored on the cloud for a “fixed period of time”. You can watch them as many times as you like within that period. To fully save the video, it must be downloaded, and the downloadable time is determined by the initial contract. You can view the Live video from anywhere with the URL you are given.

 

Merit

 ・Very easy to wire and set up

 ・Long time recording (e.g. 1 month) is possible

 ・Capable of recording multiple cameras (16 cameras, etc.)

 ・Viewing is possible from anywhere with an Internet environment

Demerit

 ・Full storage of recorded data is limited to a certain amount of time

 ・Lenses cannot be replaced in many integrated cameras

 ・Security concerns remain

(3)Industrial Cameras

The camera is not dedicated, but a generic product. It only connects to a PC via LAN or USB and is not connected to a network. Videos are stored on the connected PC or HDD connected to the PC. Live video can be viewed only on the connected PC.

 

メリット

 ・Wiring and setup are very easy (software installation only)

 ・Lens can be replaced with a general-purpose industrial camera (C-mount)

 ・By adding software, it can be used in other ways (e.g., recording before and after an abnormal event)

 ・All data is recorded on a PC, so post-processing (editing) of files can be done with a series of PC operations

 ・Camera can be downsized

デメリット

 ・The recording time and the number of cameras are limited due to the limited capacity of the PC or HDD.

HOW TO SAVE VIDEOS WITH A USB CAMERA

We sometimes receive requests from customers who want to use a USB camera to “capture and store long videos.” We have received requests from our customers to “record and save long videos” with a USB camera.
In this issue, we would like to introduce several methods for recording long videos with a USB camera.

 

 

Use Hi TriggerREC, a multifunctional compressed video recording software

 

Our USB 3.0 cameras offer Hi TriggerREC software, which makes it easy to create long videos.

・Features of Hi TriggerREC

*Video recording in H.264 compressed (.mp4) / uncompressed (.avi) format is possible.
A variety of functions are also included, such as a snapshot function that allows you to take still images at any time, and a versatile recording/stop trigger function that combines an external signal and a timer.
トリガーソフト
 
 

Use the Viewer software that comes standard with USB cameras

 

Our USB 2.0 cameras can record with the included standard-supplied Viewer software, but the AVI file standard for exporting is outdated and a file size limit of 2 Gbytes exists.
If you need a short time, you can use this Viewer software. (In case of 1.3 megapixel type (1280X1024) at 30 fps, it can record for about 15 seconds.)

 

付属の標準付属のViewerソフトウェアで録画

 

 
 
 
 

Use commercial or free recording software

Our USB 2.0 cameras can also be used as DirectShow cameras, so basically you can record with commercial or free recording software that supports DirectShow.
If you have such recording software, you can check if it is possible to record using a demo unit on loan. One well-known free software is “Amcap” provided by Microsoft as a sample program.
(The only saving format is uncompressed (AVI).

 

DirectShow対応の市販やフリーの録画ソフトウェアで録画

 

 

 

 

Use a converter to record for longer periods of time on your computer

Although not a USB camera, there is also a way to attach a USB 3.0 converter to an HDTV and record for long periods of time on a PC.
All of our HDTV models can record video if you use I-O Data Device’s GV-USB3/HD.

CAUTION WHEN RECORDING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME ON A PC

There are a few things to keep in mind when using a PC and a USB camera
for long-duration video recording.

 

1. About Compression

Video data files can be very large.
There are some free video recording software available, but in most cases,
they are uncompressed (AVI files, etc.).
For long time recording, it is necessary to compress the data in H.246 format
or other formats to record for long periods of time.
In the case of 1 hour of recording at 1280 x 1024 (1.3 million pixels) at 30 fps,
the file size is 430 x 430 x 430 pixels (1.3 million pixels) at 30 fps,
・430GB if uncompressed
・If compressed, it will be about 16.5GB.

 

2.About Playback

It is not a problem for about 24 hours, but be careful when the level reaches 3 days, 1 week, etc.
Even if recording can be done, it may not be possible to play it back with general-purpose playback software
such as Windows Multimedia Player.

 

For example, if you are recording for a week and each day has 8 hours of recording time,
do not batch record and create multiple files for one day (8 hours).
The compression will be 16.5 GB per hour (1.3 megapixels at 30 fps), which is 130 GB for 8 hours. 
A week would be divided into 7 files. 130GB x 7 days = 910GB.
This means that 1TB of HDD can be used for recording. If a file is only 130 GB,
it can be played back with Windows multimedia player, etc.

TRIGGER CONTROL SOFTWARE THAT IS VERY USEFUL FOR EMBEDDED CAMERAS

Trigger control software that is very useful for embedded cameras

WHEN A DIRECTSHOW-ENABLED CAMERA CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY DIRECTSHOW SOFTWARE

■About DirectShow compatible cameras

DirectShow is a multimedia framework and API developed by Microsoft.

A DirectShow-enabled camera is a camera that works with the DirectShow framework.

 

 

 

■About DirectShow Filters

The DirectShow filter processes the camera data according to the requirements of the DirectShow software, allowing the camera to be controlled by the software.

 

 

DirectShowについて

 

The filter matches the camera and software so that they can work together.

Without the filter, the software cannot properly process the data from the camera.

 

 

 

■Major causes of DirectShow-enabled cameras not working with software

There are three main causes of problems:

 

① If a bug exists that prevents the software from properly utilizing the DirectShow framework.

②When the DirectShow filter is unable to process the data output from the camera according to the specifications required by the software. 

③Data from the camera does not match the DirectShow filters supported by the software.

In both cases, correcting the respective causes will improve the situation.

(There are compounding factors, so sometimes everything has to be addressed.)

 

 

■Shodensha’s response

If you cannot use commercially available DirectShow software with our DirectShow-enabled camera, we can provide support such as analysis of the cause if you lend us the software. Please feel free to contact us.

WHAT IS DYNAMIC RANGE?

When taking pictures, the camera may make extremely bright areas appear white (halation or blown out highlights), or extremely dark areas may become black and disappear from view (Black Crush).

The range in which the difference in brightness and darkness can be captured at the same time, from one step before halation (overexposure) to one step before blackout (completely dark, unable to see anything), is called the dynamic range. ) is measured.

The wider the dynamic range, the better the camera performance. However, no matter how powerful the camera is, it cannot match the ability of the human eye to capture images. For example, even if a scene is clearly visible to the human eye, when photographed with a camera, it may be overexposed or details may not be visible.

WHAT IS FRAME RATE?

Frame rate refers to the number of frames displayed within a certain amount of time in a video. This number is usually expressed in frames displayed per second and is measured in fps (frames per second).

 

With USB technology, a theoretical maximum speed is set, regardless of the performance of the computer. Specifically, for USB2.0, the maximum speed is 480Mbps (=60MB/s), and for USB3.0, the maximum speed is 5120Mbps (=640MB/s).

 

Considering the theoretical performance of a USB camera that uses USB 2.0, it is approximately 15 fps for a 1.3 MP (1280X1024) image, approximately 10 fps for a 2 MP (1600X1200) image, and approximately 10 fps for a 3 MP (2048X1535) image. It is said that it is possible to achieve approximately 6fps. This doesn’t have much to do with camera performance or price.

 

However, these are only theoretical values, and actual performance may vary significantly depending on CPU processing power, memory capacity, and other system environments (such as software running in the background). In actual measurements, results are often around 60% of the theoretical value or less.

However, there are ways to improve the frame rate slightly. Please contact technical support for more information.

 
 
 
 
 

SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE ACTIVATION OF MULTIPLE USB CAMERAS

Multiple Activation of Multiple USB Cameras

Recently, we have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries about using multiple USB cameras on a single computer at the same time.
I would like to discuss some points to note when constructing it.

●How to connect to a PC

There are two main methods of connecting to a computer.

If your PC has an available PCI-Express slot, you can add an “expansion board” to increase the number of USB ports (connection ports).
One advantage of this method is that one USB port is used per USB camera, so it is less likely to cause problems such as insufficient communication capacity (bandwidth shortage) of the PC or insufficient power supply from the PC to the USB camera due to the increase in data transmission volume caused by using multiple cameras.
This method is recommended when connecting multiple USB cameras at the same time, since it is less likely to cause problems such as insufficient communication capacity (bandwidth shortage) of the PC or insufficient power supply from the PC to the USB camera.

If three or four USB cameras are to be connected at the same time, we further recommend adding an “Industrial Expansion Board”.

The disadvantages are that the board can be added if there is an available PCI-Express slot in that PC, and that it takes more time and effort to add the board.

 

USB frame grabber board (4 ports)
USB-IB4

 

 

The second method is to use a “USB hub” for one USB port on a PC
and connect multiple USB cameras to that USB hub.
One advantage is that it can be done when there is no space in the PC to add an “expansion board”, for example.
It is especially suited for notebook PCs with a small number of USB ports.

 

Disadvantages include the following.

①Use a USB hub to one USB port on the PC side
Since multiple cameras will be connected, there is a large possibility of “bandwidth shortage,” a shortage of PC communication capacity due to the increase in data transmission volume caused by the use of multiple cameras.。  
Compared to adding an expansion board to the desktop to provide additional USB ports, this will further limit the amount of data the camera can use = the number of pixels (resolution) it can use.

②Using a USB hub to connect multiple cameras to a single USB port on the PC side will result in insufficient power supply to the USB camera, which will greatly increase the possibility of not being able to see the image.
The initial setup procedure for recognizing and displaying each camera may become complicated.

③The initial setup procedure for recognizing and displaying each camera may become complicated.

●Software that enables multiple activation (simultaneous use) of multiple USB cameras

Requires software that can be multiply activated on a single PC.
In this issue, we will introduce “Hi TriggerF PRO4 / PRO8,” a highly functional trigger shooting software (multiple-unit version) made by Shodensha.

 

 

多重起動トリガーソフトウェア Hi TriggerF Pro4

Advanced Trigger Photography Software (Multiple Units Version) 
Hi TriggerF PRO4 / PRO8

Functions of the “Multiple Launch Trigger Software Hi TriggerF PRO4 / PRO8

・Multiple activation is possible for up to 4 or 8 cameras. (Please contact us if you would like more than one camera.)
・Our Hi TriggerF Light can save a still image or capture a screen image (temporary storage) at that moment by inserting an external trigger signal into the camera.
・Live display is also possible without a trigger signal, making positioning and focusing easy.
・A digital zoom function allows you to enlarge or reduce the camera image to the desired size on your PC screen.
 It also has a fit-in function that allows the camera image to fit perfectly on your PC screen.
・The exposure time can be adjusted so that even fast objects can be photographed without blurring.
・Cross-line display, timestamp burning, and binarization functions have also been added.

●Available computers

The more cameras you have (3, 4, 8, etc.), the higher spec PCs you will need.

●Other notes

Industrial cameras by themselves do not show anything.
A separate lens is required for each focal length and magnification.
Additional lighting may also be required depending on the brightness of the camera installation location.
 

  →Please contact our technical department if you would like to use multiple USB cameras for multiple activations. We can propose a total system.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CMOS SENSOR AND CCD SENSOR

When CMOS sensors first began to be used in cameras, the following differences were recognized between them and CCD sensors.

1. CD provides more natural color reproduction.
2. CCD images are clearer.

On the other hand, it has been pointed out that with CMOS sensors, minute blurring occurs in images and the clarity is poor. .
3. The CMOS sensor uses a rolling shutter method, which tends to cause distortion and afterimages in moving scenes.

 

There was an impression that early CMOS sensors were of low quality, but as technology advances, the performance of CMOS sensors has improved and is now comparable to CCD sensors. Regarding the difference between CCD and CMOS

 

<CCD is・・・>

1. Occurrence of smear (a phenomenon in which a band of light appears on the image).
2. Often more expensive than CMOS.
3. Power consumption is higher than CMOS sensors, making them unsuitable for battery-powered digital cameras and video cameras.
4. Because it is not possible to read out only a portion of the image sensor, it is difficult to lower the resolution and increase the frame rate.

 

<CMOS is・・・>

1. CMOS sensors have an amplifier built into each pixel, which tends to cause certain pattern noise due to variations in performance.
2. The production process for CMOS sensors is similar to that for CPUs and LSIs, and they can be manufactured at lower costs than CCD sensors.
3. CMOS sensors can be operated at lower voltages, which facilitates faster data readout and higher resolution.
4. Because partial readouts are possible, cameras using CMOS sensors can improve frame rates by lowering the resolution.

 

CCD sensors suffer from smearing, while pattern noise is a major problem with CMOS sensors. However, with improvements in manufacturing technology and noise correction, pattern noise in CMOS sensors is gradually becoming less noticeable.

 

Also,
CMOS → Rolling shutter → Sensitive to movement
CCD → Global shutter → Strong against movement
Although there was a relationship that was sometimes expressed as “CMOS sensors”, CMOS sensors with global shutters are now being produced.

In the past, CCD was the main focus in device development, but today CMOS has become mainstream, and technological advances are supporting improvements in CMOS performance.

As a result, the idea that CCD is superior to CMOS is no longer universally applicable; image quality and performance vary depending on the type of sensor.

 

As a result of sensor manufacturers, particularly Sony, discontinuing the production of CCDs, the switch to CMOS is accelerating in fields that traditionally used CCDs.

Shodensha provides cameras equipped with CMOS sensors with global shutter functionality, and supports the smooth transition from CCD to CMOS.

The competitive price of CMOS sensors directly contributes to lower operating costs.

 

Summary

1. CCD sensors are said to have the ability to reproduce more natural colors.
2. The image provided by CCD sensor is clearer. On the other hand, images from CMOS sensors may have minute blurring, which affects the clarity of the image quality.
3. Since the CMOS sensor is based on a rolling shutter method, it has been evaluated as being vulnerable to capturing moving scenes.

However, over time, CMOS technology has improved significantly and now it is comparable to CCD sensors. Therefore, the general idea that CCD is superior to CMOS no longer applies universally, and differences in image quality and performance now depend on the unique characteristics of each sensor. Additionally, CMOS sensors equipped with a global shutter are currently being produced.

WHAT IS A DIRECTSHOW-COMPATIBLE CAMERA?

DirectShow refers to a set of instructions, functions, and norms developed by Microsoft that apply to libraries and programs for video conversion. Quite simply, a DirectShow-enabled camera can be programmatically controlled using common instructions.

This mechanism allows the user to operate the camera through various application software without having to use a dedicated application that comes with the camera when the USB camera is recognized by a PC. However, you may need to take steps to get your PC to recognize the camera, if necessary.

This makes it possible to use a variety of application software from different developers. For example, it is possible to select and use the necessary software according to the application, such as viewer software that simply displays images, software that performs image measurement, software that performs automatic visual inspection, and software that performs 3D image synthesis. There are many companies on the market that only offer software.

However, there are multiple types of video formats that the camera outputs, and the application software used must support these formats.

Video formats include YUY2, RGB24, and RAW16, for example. While the software provided on its own often supports these common video formats, some software shipped with the camera only supports specific camera-specific formats.

WHAT IS A UVC CAMERA?

What is a UVC camera?

 

USB Video Class (UVC) is a generic standard name for camera devices connected via USB. Current Linux and Windows systems already include drivers for UVC, so no additional driver installation is required.

This also refers to these cameras as installation-free cameras or driver-free cameras.

In contrast, many industrial cameras require manufacturer-specific drivers, which require the application to install driver software separately.

Below is a list of advantages and disadvantages of UVC cameras.

 

■ Features of UVC Camera

<Advantages of UVC cameras>

 

(1) On Linux and Windows, even between different camera brands, if you use a UVC camera, you can program with almost the same coding.

This eliminates the need to learn the SDK for each camera brand separately.

 

(2) There are very affordable models of UVC cameras, which make it possible to build a system at a low cost.

 

(3) In both Linux and Windows environments, you can easily acquire video using the VideoCapture class of OpenCV (OpenCV Sharp, OpenCV-Python).

<Disadvantages of UVC cameras>

 

(1) There are few UVC cameras that support external triggering, because the UVC standard does not take into account shooting with external triggers. This is especially true when you want to shoot with a signal from an external PLC (sequencer) or sensor.

*Shodensha has added a UVC camera that can be connected to an external trigger to its lineup. Please contact us for more information.

 

(2) For most UVC cameras, even if you set detailed settings such as brightness, color, and shutter speed, these settings will be reset when the power is turned off.

Therefore, these settings must be recorded separately by the program and reapplied when the camera restarts.

In contrast, many industrial cameras allow you to save the settings in the camera, and even after the power is turned off, it automatically returns to the previous settings when the power is switched back on.

*Shodensha offers a special UVC camera that allows users to precisely adjust and store the white balance. Please contact us for more information.

 

(3) UVC cameras have the advantage of being able to easily acquire images using OpenCV, but the current OpenCV (as of version 4.5.2) does not have a function to fine-tune the white balance.

This can be a major barrier, especially in tonal applications.

This is not a limitation of the UVC camera itself, but a problem caused by the lack of functionality of OpenCV.

*In order to meet these needs, Shodensha provides UVC cameras that can finely adjust the white balance and save the settings. Please contact us for more information.

 

(4) When multiple UVC cameras are used on one PC at the same time, it is possible to obtain the image output from each camera, but since it is not possible to distinguish between individual cameras, the image display position may change every time the PC is restarted.

For this reason, if you are considering the simultaneous use of several cameras, we recommend that you use a regular industrial camera.

Shodensha’s UVC camera

 

C-mount type low-cost UVC camera series (WA2 series)

There is no external trigger terminal, and although you can adjust brightness, color, and shutter speed using the Viewer software, these settings are reset when the power is turned off. This series is a cost-conscious choice.

 

C-mount type industrial UVC camera series (DN series)

It is equipped with an external trigger terminal and includes a tool program that allows detailed white balance settings and their storage using OpenCV.

 

This series has features that compensate for the typical limitations of UVC cameras and is designed for industrial applications.

 

C-mount type low-priced UVC camera series (WA2 series)
   
産業用UVCカメラシリーズ C-mount type industrial UVC camera series (DN series)

Summary

VC cameras are also called “driver-free cameras” or “installation-free cameras” because they utilize drivers built into the operating system. Its main advantage is ease of implementation.

However, on the other hand, there are drawbacks such as “the white balance cannot be adjusted and saved” and “it does not support external trigger signals.”

Shodensha offers UVC cameras that solve these problems. Please feel free to visit our homepage.

MICROSCOPE & AMP MEASUREMENT SOFTWARE IDEAL FOR PENETRATION INSPECTION AND PENETRATION MEASUREMENT OF WELDING

Welding is an important means of bonding metals, and the weld part is very important because it is directly related to the safety of the product.
Therefore, the amount of penetration of the weld is inspected, i.e. dimensional measurements are taken to confirm the depth and quality of penetration. Identify problems such as insufficient penetration, incomplete weld fusion, gaps, and excessive swelling.

溶接溶け込み量計測

 

<Preprocessing>

In order to properly inspect the penetration in the cross-section of the weld, the following pre-treatment is required:

① Cutting the test part
② Polishing the cross-section
③ Etching treatment with chemicals or electrolysis according to the material

After these pre-treatments, observations and dimensional measurements are carried out. These preparatory tasks are often entrusted to specialists, but this time we will present a product that specializes in dimensional measurement of the amount of penetration of welds.

 

 

<Imaging and Dimension Measurement>

Specifically, we used our microscope to capture and dimension measurements.

 

 

溶接溶け込み量計測

 

溶接溶け込み量計測

 

溶接溶け込み量計測

 

In this process, you need to repeat the following steps:

● Generate a reference line

● Measure the distance from the intersection of the reference lines

●Generate parallel lines

● Measure the vertical distance from the reference line

When dealing with a large number of specimens, this task can be quite time-consuming.

However, when using our measurement software, the following measurement support functions are enhanced, and it is possible to improve the efficiency of the time-consuming measurement work of the amount of weld penetration.

 

 

<Functions of the measurement software used in this study>

 

 ① Occurrence of cross lines

By clicking the mouse on the screen, a cross line will appear at any position.

 

溶接溶け込み量計測 If the position is misaligned, you can easily repeat the click to adjust the position.

 

 ② Abundant measurement items

 

It is equipped with a wide range of measurement functions and can be used not only for measurement tasks, but also as a reference line.

In this case, you can set the display of the measured value to be hidden.

This feature is particularly useful for measuring “vertical distances”.

In addition, the display color of each measuring line or numerical value can be changed individually.

 

溶接溶け込み量計測 ● Distance between two points
● Distance between parallel lines
● Horizontal parallel distance
● Vertical parallel line distance
● Vertical distance
● Distance between the centers of the circle
● Point coordinates
● 3 point specified angle
● 4 points specified angle
● 3 points designated circle
● Approximate circle
●Rectangle
● Ellipse
● Approximate straight line
●Three-point arc etc 

 

 ③ Edge auto-fit function

 

 

When the mouse cursor is brought close to the desired measurement line, edge detection is automatically performed and the cursor fits the line.

This minimizes errors during the measurement process and results in more accurate measurements.

 

溶接溶け込み量計測

 

 

 ④ Pinpoint digital zoom function

 

You can use the mouse wheel to digitally zoom around the position that the cursor is pointing to.

This allows for intuitive scaling and further reduction of measurement errors.

 

 

④ピンポイントデジタルズーム機能

 

 ⑤ Scale display

 

You can display the scale at any position at the desired size.

NUMBER OF IMAGES SAVED BY THE GRAV-1 VIDEO RECORDER

Our GRAV-1 video recorder offers the ability to store video data using a USB memory.

 

The device supports USB flash drives with a capacity of up to 32 GB and uses FAT32 format. It is possible to save image files in JPEG or BITMAP format. Especially in the case of jpeg format, the file size per sheet is about 100 KB.

 

Theoretically, up to 320,000 images can be stored.

 

However, the FAT32 format has a limit on the number of files, and the maximum number of files that can be stored in the root directory is about 65,000.

As a result, even if there is plenty of space, the number of images that can be stored is limited to 65,000.

 

ビデオレコーダー GRAV-1

 

To deal with this problem, the GR-AV1 automatically creates three folders and stores files in these folders in order.

However, it is not possible to change the directory structure, and therefore will continue to be affected by the file limit described above.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE CAMERA STANDS AND MICROSCOPE STANDS

When using a stand, you may find yourself in a situation where you want to adjust the distance to the object you are observing. This refers to when you want to get closer to an object or conversely, when you want to keep a distance. In addition, if you are wearing other accessories, these may interfere with each other.

In fact, on a large number of stands, it is possible to mount the angles upside down. (Of course, the stand provided by our company can also be mounted upside down.)

I WANT A LIGHT AND INEXPENSIVE MICROSCOPE THAT I CAN TAKE WITH ME ON A BUSINESS TRIP

If you are looking for an affordable and relatively advanced microscope, we recommend the DS-PC4 (USB microscope) and DS-70TV4 (video microscope). These microscopes have limited zoom capabilities and do not allow the use of auxiliary lenses, but they are a very cost-effective option if they meet your requirements.

In particular, the DS-70TV4 is a great help because it can be carried with a portable video recorder with a monitor to perform observation tasks anywhere.

EXAMPLES OF HALATION SUPPRESSION

Here are two effective methods for combating halation.

 

1.How to use polarizing filters

By superimposing polarizing filters, it is an effective way to reduce halation.

(A detailed explanation of this method can be found in “Fundamentals of Polarization Observation.”) 

   

<Example 1: Solder point of electronic board >

This method reduces the reflection of light in the solder.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE CAMERA STANDS AND STANDS FOR MICROSCOPES

When using a stand, there are times when you want to get a little closer to the object or, conversely, a little further away from the object.
It may also interfere when another option is attached.

 

In fact, many stand angles can be mounted upside down.
(Of course, the angle of our stands can also be mounted upside down.)

TIPS FOR OBSERVING SPHERES

In the case of spherical observation, there are two issues: 1. surface condition (specular or diffuse reflective material) and 2. depth of focus.
The observed object is a 5 mm sphere with a specular surface.

 

 

観察物は鏡面体の5mmの球体  
ハイビジョンマイクロスコープ TG200BA

Model used 
High-definition microscope TG200BA

 

 

 

 

 

1.Surface condition

 

If the object is a sphere, everything will be R-reflected (the angle that causes direct reflection is always included).
If the object is a specular surface, the areas of the specular surface that are directly reflected by the illumination will be white out,
and the rest of the specular surface will be in shadow.

 

 

・When photographed normally  
通常に撮影した場合
   
・HDR (High Dynamic Range) function  
HDR(ハイダイナミックレンジ)機能
The difference between shadows and white spots is less than in normal photography.
   
・HDR function + polarization filter  
HDR機能+偏光フィルター  
The white areas can be suppressed somewhat, but the rest of the image is slightly easier to see with the HDR function alone.
   
・Surround the object with reflective panels  
対象物の周囲を反射板で囲む
   
 

In addition, when a USB camera type is used, the camera’s gamma function can be used as shown below to observe less difference between shadows and white splash, like the HDR function of a high-definition camera.

 

USB3.0マイクロスコープ TG500CS

Model used

・When photographed normally

・When the camera’s gamma correction is applied  
カメラのガンマ補正をかけた場合
   
・Gamma correction + reflector around the object
ガンマ補正+対象物の周囲を反射板で囲んだ場合
Arranged to be illuminated by indirect light  
   
間接光で照らすように配置

With any technique, if the object is close to a specular object, it will be more difficult to capture a clear image.
If it is more or less a diffuse reflective object or something close to it, it will be easier to observe with the use of HDR functions, etc.

 

■Depth of focus

 

In addition, spherical surfaces can cause depth of focus problems.
Lubricant is added to the above spherical sample to see how far into focus it will be.
The photo below shows the above 5mm spherical sample with lubricant.
The focus is set at the apex of the sphere.
The aperture is stopped down, the depth of focus is deeper, and the entire image is less blurry.

WHAT IS WHITE BALANCE?

White balance is a correction to obtain a normal color image under various shades of light sources in a camera.
When adjusting the balance, it is often based on how the white subject appears in the image, and is collectively
referred to as white balance in terms of color tonality.
There are many ways to adjust the white balance, but in our case, we use one-push auto white balance.

 

Color standards (I find it best to use a blank sheet of paper) and adjust the brightness so that the image can be
observed without halation (white skipping) or too much darkness.
Then, one click on the white balance key will automatically apply color correction (auto white balance).

 

The display varies depending on the camera, such as AWB and OnePushWB.

Depending on the needs of our customers, we can also produce custom-made stands.

OBSERVATION METHOD WHEN THE OBJECT IS A LARGE METAL

Occasionally, we receive requests such as “I want to check the composition of a large metal product on site, but I can’t cut out a sample.”

In order to respond to this, we propose custom products that take into account the following two points.

・In order to achieve light weight and low cost, a fixed magnification is adopted, but it can be adjusted with an objective lens at the tip. 
・For direct access to the object, a cutout is provided on the stand.

 

Naturally, coaxial illumination is used to observe the metal composition.

TIPS FOR OBSERVING RECESSES

Depending on the depth of the recess and the size of the opening, observation may be possible depending on the ingenuity.

 

1.The use of LED ring lighting with a small diameter

 

GR80-N2と小径LEDリング照明GR96-N2 On the left is our standard size ring lighting GR80-N2, and on the right is our narrow diameter LED ring lighting GR96-N2.

   

Since the irradiated part is close to the lens, the irradiation angle is narrower, making it easier for light to reach the recessed part.

 

レンズの先端に取付け If the lens is thick, it may be possible to attach it only to the tip of the lens.

2. Use LED angles to adjust the position of the LEDs

LEDアングルを使いLEDの位置を変更する レンズホルダーを上下反対に取付け
When using the LED angle, mount the lens holder upside down as shown in the picture above. (This is to avoid interference with LED angles.) 
   
LEDアングルと干渉しないようにする為
   
3. Use auxiliary lenses to increase the focal length

 

補助レンズを利用して焦点距離を長くする

The focal length can be extended by attaching an auxiliary lens to the tip of the lens or by lowering the magnification compared to existing auxiliary lenses.

The longer the focal length, the narrower the irradiation angle, making it easier to observe the recesses.

 

WHAT IS A FILTER?

These are accessories that can be attached to lenses and cameras to add various optical functions.

1.A filter to protect the lens from dust and smoke, fine scratches and dirt.

2.A filter that selectively reflects, absorbs, or passes a specific wavelength of light to create a specific light effect

3.Special filters, such as polarization, to reduce reflections and glare There are many other types.

As for the installation method, there is a general filter that attaches directly to the tip of the lens.

(A wide variety of camera accessories are offered at affordable prices.)

There is also a method of sandwiching a prismatic filter through a holder at the tip of the lens. (It is easy to replace the filter.)

<Mounting example>  
取付例 取付例

Filters up to 5 mm thick can be used on top of each other.

 

It can also be attached to the inside of the camera using the C-mount.

It is suitable when you do not use a lens (if you use a C-mount camera directly).

INTRODUCING THE LARGE XY TABLE

ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF MICROMETERS

Analog

The smallest scale is 0.01 mm (10 μm), which is the value for a standard product without a vernier scale.

However, the allowable instrument difference is ±2 μm.

 

アナログ式マイクロメーターヘッドの精度について

*The word “accuracy” is not used. In practice, measurements smaller than the minimum scale are difficult to make accurately and rely on scales.

Even if the instrument difference is ±2 μm, it may not be “accurate” in actual use.

Digital

Even with a minimum scale of 0.001 mm (1 μm), the instrument difference is ±2 μm.

 

 

デジタルマイクロメーターの精度について

* We do not say “accuracy” here, but although it is an instrument difference of 2 μm, it is common to think of this as accuracy in practice.

 

If you actually get a calibration certificate at our company, you will get the following results.

CONVENIENT GLASS SCALE

Various types of glass scales are also available.

 

The photo below shows a glass scale from Shodensha.

 

Calibration Glass Scale GS-4SQ

 

校正用ガラススケール GS-4SQ

 

When calibrating our microscopes, we find it easier to adjust the grid type than the cross display.
In addition, it is convenient to have a number of grid sizes to match various magnifications.

 

The above glass scale is perfect for such applications.

GOODS TO REDUCE HALATION

  There is a way to use white V-shaped blocks.

HOW TO MEASURE HEIGHT AND THICKNESS WITH A MICROSCOPE

 

The easiest way is to combine a microscope with a digital indicator.
Choose a lens with as shallow a depth of field as possible.
The mechanism that raises and lowers the instrument should be equipped with a fine adjustment function for more accurate measurement.

 

厚み測定

 

1.Thickness Measurement

The condition for measurement is that the object is a transparent or translucent film or sheet adhering to the base material.
The object on the right has a transparent protective sheet adhering to the product.
The sheet was so thin that I observed it at 600x.

 

厚み測定

Focus on the substrate (resin). Set the indicator value to zero. Focus on the top surface of the sheet.
Read the value of the indicator.
This is the thickness. (107μm)

インジケーター

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Height measurement

The object must be capable of displaying a step on a single screen to be measured.
Measure the height of the IC in the left photo.
I observed it at 200x because it was high enough.

 

高さ測定

Focus on the substrate and set the indicator value to zero. Focus on the top surface of the IC and
read the value of the indicator.

HOW TO OBSERVE RIGHT NEXT TO THE MICROSCOPE

You may want to change the microscope to a side view (observe right next to the patient)
for observation of the inside of a slightly larger canal, or for observation of the solder in a BGA.
Here are some useful things to do in this case.
The product is called a reflective mirror box.

 

反射ミラーボックス  

 

In terms of our lenses, the following two types can be attached. The top is a variable magnification lens from 25x to 135x (SDS-M19 variable magnification lens with aperture), and the bottom is a variable magnification lens from about 30x to 60x.

 

2種のレンズに取り付け可能

 

The reflective mirror box is mounted on the end of the lens.
Mounting hardware is separately required for installation. We sell them at our company, so please feel free to contact us. Click here

 

反射ミラーボックスはレンズの先端に取付け 反射ミラーボックスはレンズの先端に取付け

 

However, a connecting ring is required for connection. (Please contact us for details.)

 

Of course, if this is attached, ring lighting cannot be installed.

 

リング照明が装着不可

 

In addition, normal ring lighting cannot be installed.
Therefore, it is necessary to use fiber lighting, low-profile lighting, etc.

LOW-COST, HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE STAGE

We use the equipment shown in the photo below to carry out the observation work.

 

低価格で高さ調節できるステージ 低価格で高さ調節できるステージ

Precision stages operating on the Z-axis can be quite expensive.

Therefore, a lab jack like the one in the photo is sometimes used as a simple alternative.

There are also products that can be suggested, so please feel free to contact technical support.

PHOTOGRAPHY STAND (COPY STAND)

A copy stand is useful for photographing paper documents, books, and other three-dimensional objects that cannot be copied
with a digital camera.

 

Various sizes and prices are available, but the following are relatively inexpensive and can take pictures up to about A4 size.

The base size is 450X450mm and the post height is 550mm.
