With the ZSTTFM-E system from DeltaPix motorization of stereo microscope focushas now become affordable and easy, evenfor microscopes without finefocus. Withmotorized focus, problems with limited depth of focus, reflections and overexposed areas can now be solved in an easy and affordable way. After a simple setup, the system can automatically capture a number of images at different focus points and with different exposure settings. The software automatically combines the capturedimages to one image with extendedfocus depth and perfect exposurein all areas of the image.
.
The system consists of a base with a motorized track stand, to which most stereo microscope heads can beattached easily. A DeltaPix camera also has to be attached to the microscope, and then everything is connected to the computer through USB only.
Easy to install and controlAfter the easy plug and play installationof the soft- and hardware, the focus ofthe microscope can be controlled by thecomputer. This can be done by pressingup/down buttons with the mouse, usingthe mouse wheel or even attaching footpedals.

Features:
- Easy attachment to most stereo microscopes - Focus of the microscope can be controlled directly from the computer. - Connects to USB. No need to add extra boards inside the computer
- Captures stunningly ultra high quality images with extended focus and extended exposure with just a few mouse clicks.
- Includes motor and mechanics for DeltaPix track stands. These must be selected dependent on microscope type.
- Software (not included) automatically compensates for the change in viewing angle when position changes.

Testamonial:"I am impressed of what DeltaPixhave delivered and almost chocked about the time I have previously wasted capturing images. Previously I had to carefully position the samples and manually do several focus Images, now I just put the sample under the microscope, and start shooting images with impressing depthof focus” Steffen Lundsteen – DMU (Universityof Aarhus, Denmark" after having recieved and installed a ZSTTFM-e for use with a Zeiss Discovery V12 stereo microscope.
Solve problems with limited depth of focus, reflections and over-exposed areas.
Specification Includes:- DeltaPix stepper motor and adapters for easy attachment to DeltaPix track stands.
Easy to attach
Capturing images with extended focusand extended exposure is easy with thissystem: find the focus of the top and bottom of the object under observationand mark these two points in the software.Select the number of slices betweenthese points, and press the capture button. A number of images are then automatically captured at different focus points, and afterwards combined to an image where all areas of the object are in focus.
If it is not possible to achieve correctexposure in all areas of the object under observation, due to reflectionsor very dark or shinny parts, this software can also deal with that. Bycapturing images at different exposurelevels, the software automaticallycombines these images to form oneimage with perfect exposure level inall areas.
AffordableThe total cost of the motorisation, camera and software is very competitive compared to any similar system. Theattractive pricing makes the automaticcapture of extended focus images and direct control of the microscope focus, within the range of many applicationswhere previously only manual controlwas possible.
