Kestrel Elite 2-Axis Measuring Microscope

Kestrel Elite is a high accuracy, low investment system, designed to transform your measurement and inspection capabilities. Small, intricate parts, even difficult to view samples can be viewed in microscope resolution detail through Kestrel Elite's patented optical viewing head, making accurate measurement easy.

Upgrade your measurement
and inspection capabilities ...

Kestrel Elite is the perfect starting point to upgrade your measurement and inspection capabilities and improve your quality control routines. With space at a premium, Kestrel Elite doesn't take up much room, yet can make a big difference to your production quality.

Vision Engineering holds world patents for a number of techniques designed to optimize optical and ergonomic performance. Kestrel Elite's patented Dynascope™ technology enables you to view intricate and low contrast objects with confidence, increasing measurement accuracy and productivity while reducing costs.

Microscope resolution images

Kestrel Elite is a true optical measuring microscope. Unprocessed, high resolution, true color images are viewed through the ergonomic eyepieceless viewing head in complete comfort. No uncomfortable microscope eyepieces!

Light passes through the patented Dynascope™ optics, exiting the single viewing lens as twin (mono) light paths. The large diameter of these exit rays means that users do not need to precisely align their eyes with the viewing lens in order to see the subject.

Simple. Rugged. Precise.

Kestrel Elite's robust, dynamically engineered design reduces stress points to optimize measurement accuracy. Rugged in construction, the unit has been designed to cope with the demands of a busy production environment and includes Vision Engineering's proven 150mm x 100mm precision measuring stage.

The stage comes complete with factory set Non Linear Error Correction (NLEC) calibration to ensure optimum accuracy, traceable to international standards for the purposes of ISO9000.

Range of applications ...

Customers around the world use Vision Engineering measuring systems for a wide range of non-contact measurement applications, including: Plastic parts (e.g. connectors, tubing, molding), medical device implants (e.g. stents, hearing aids), machined parts for aerospace, automotive and military use, general precision engineering, watchmaking, plus many more applications.
