K9APE® Machine Vision Inspection Systems
for
Microscopic Targets

Honeybee Leg

K9APE® Machine Vision Inspection Systems are readily adapted for inspection of microscopic targets such as 1 x 3-inch or larger glass slides.  Images can be used by a microscopist for detailed study or can be analyzed automatically by our custom software.

The color image shown below is from a 5 mm x 6 mm portion of a honeybee leg mounted on a glass microscope slide. An adjoining panel is an image of a portion of a calibration slide in which the principal divisions are in millimeters and the smallest divisions are in 10-micrometers.  That size was chosen for this page because of INTERNET browser limitations.  Our systems can image entire glass slides (1 x 3-inch or larger) in color or B/W.  They can also be integrated into continuous feed production systems.

The original color image (not shown) is in a 30-Megapixel TIFF file.  That file was JPEG-compressed to a 1.9-Megapixel file that is shown here.  Some of the detail was lost in the compression process and in browser replication.

K9APE® Machine Vision Inspection Systems can be used with microscopes or integrated into production machinery for metrology and other analyses.  Data can be used to produce statistical reports or to generate output signals for control of process variables. Data can also be logged for warranty purposes or for conducting experiments on manufacturing tolerances.
