Quality pays out!
An image processing system cannot pick out the precise details of a specimen unless the specimen is optimally illuminated. Many tasks cannot be accomplished using standard light sources such as halogen lighting or fluorescent tube lights.

The LED lighting system developed by visicontrol®™ is available for both the infrared and the visible range of light wavelengths. In conjunction with the MVS systems, it permits a highly flexible, programmable and optimally adjustable lighting situation to be achieved. Experience gained from specific customers has been channeled into visiLum® to develop a lighting system which is not susceptible to the influence of ambient light to any significant extent and which provides optimum illumination for both stationary and moving specimens. Combined with an MVS system and a minimum flash time of 15 µs (microsecond), it is possible to achieve sharp images of even the fastest processes. Practically any possible lighting variant can be achieved with 256 individual light-emitting diodes (LEDs) connected up and arranged in a suitable way. In the very unlikely event that a channel should fail, this information is signaled to the MVS system for further processing.

Safety is the top priority.
The MVS system also sends control signals in the other direction to the visiLum® controller. These control signals set the parameters for the brightness, flash duration and much more.

A wide range of luminaires is available.
Lighting variants are available for incident and transmitted light, as are versions such as luminaires with telecentric attachment lenses, lighting systems with different beam angles or special models which are adapted to the dimensions of the specimens. The luminaires have a service life in excess of 100,000 hours, meaning they are practically maintenance-free. The visiLum® lighting system is a very important module. In conjunction with the MVS image processing systems and the appropriate measuring and control software, visiTeach®, it provides an extraordinarily powerful total
solution for image processing work. If more than one visiLum® control unit is required for an application, the control units and the associated MVS system are connected together via a bus cable. The parallel inputs and outputs of the MVS systems are useful for other tasks and are not used for activating the lighting units.

Performance Features

Technical data

  • Extremely long service life
  • No noteworthy heating of the light source or the specimen
  • Constant, regulated light intensity
  • Invisible (IR), therefore does not cause disruption when the flash is operated
  • Minimum susceptibility to the influence of ambient light (IR)
  • Extensive range of programming and control functions with visiTeach®, the measuring and control software from visicontrol®™
  • MVS system connection via bus cable
  • Combination of several visiLum® units via bus cable
  • Each visiLum® controller can be individually addressed
  • Read-back of status signals for function monitoring
  • The flash system used means an inexpensive standard camera can be operated without shutter and at full resolution, even with fast-moving parts
