Moreover, improvements in the LED illumination system also increase image contrast by utilizing an Apochromatic lens to compensate for the blue wavelengths emitted from white LEDs.

White LED illumination for fast, high-accuracy measurement 8-segment LED ring illumination This illumination system can be controlled from eight different directions. The white LED light with an average incidence angle of

18° makes possible observations of extremely low-contrast edges which are usually invisible under episcopic illumination. It is effective for measuring molds, medical devices and other threedimensional parts.
