Miniature microscope T.I.M.M.
T.I.M.M. is a miniaturized microscope with numerous possibilities for its use. Because of its small size (155 mm . 22 mm) and its low weight (about 100 g) it is predestined for applications, where usual microscopes fail, because of there size.
T.I.M.M. is easy to transport and despite its compactness it allows average magnifications and may also be used as a handheld microscope.
One of the exceptional characteristics of T.I.M.M. is its continuous variability of magnification (zoom) between 0.1 and 400 without exchanging the objective. Several objectives can be attached to enlarge the range of magnification up to the limit of diffraction of light.
During development of the microscope emphasis was placed on high sensitivety of light, which allows its use for many applications under daylight conditions, that means without additional source of light.
T.I.M.M. has no ocular, it generates the image of the object, with a built-in CCD video camera, which then can be shown on a TV-screen, a video or via a frame-grabber on the monitor of a computer.
- Compact size, including camera (155 mm ° 22 mm)
- Low weight (100 g)
- Continuous variability of magnification (zoom), 0.1 up to 400 (for T.I.M.M. 400)
- Magnification beyond 400 through use of attachment lenses
- At low magnifications no additional source of light necessary (day light conditions)
- Direct plug-in to a TV, video or frame-grabber respectively USB-interface
- Easy integration into production facilities
- Simple handling
- Customizing through diverse attachments
- On demand, with motorized XY-support
- Customizing for a certain working distance and magnification
- On demand, waterproof version (more informations on request)
- On demand, motorized version also with autofocus (more informations on request)
- T.I.M.M. with radio transmission and additional battery pack
