History of digital microscopes
 
Since KEYENCE launched its first microscope with a built-in monitor in 1990, it has sold hundreds of thousands of microscopes to leading R&D, QA, and manufacturing centers around the world. Keyence continuously applies the very latest technologies, constantly crafting its products to meet the needs of researchers and engineers, and marketing them directly to customers.

Clearer image achieved by increasing resolution from the conventional 280,000 pixels to 410,000.
         
      VH-6100  
1991
  VH-6100
Weight saving and downsizing make possible a portable microscope that can be used on site.
         
      VH-6000  
1990
  VH-6000
Launch of the first monitor-type microscope with a built-in monitor.
       
 

Evolution in number of pixels

Along with the continuous upgrading of features, the number of pixels\a basic benchmark of resolution\has also been increasing year by year.
     

Evolution of observation method

Since the depth composition feature was first introduced on the VH-8000, the observation method has evolved to support 3D display \on the VHX-100. With 3D display, even irregularities on the targetfs surface can be reproduced.
