INFINITE FOCUS

3D Reconstruction & Analysis in Light Microscopy

Topomicroscopy

3D imaging solutions from Alicona. Enables you to generate 3D topographical images for analysis and accurate measurement.

Infinite Focus A New Dimension in Light Microscopy
  • images with almost infinite depth of focus
  • fully-automatic creation of 3D datasets for profile-, area- and even volume analysis
  • images under optimal illumination due to digital image capturing and digital controllable light source
  • convenient working with the microscope due to latest camera technology

Infinite Focus allows the capturing of sharp, brilliant images of almost infinite depth of focus. Within seconds high-resolution color images are calculated applying innovative algorithms. Contrary to conventional approaches robust and accurate results are achieved. Therefore not only sharp images can be calculated but also accurate 3D measurements and topographic analyses are possible. Explore how to turn a conventional light microscope into a fully digital three-dimensional measurement device.

Two major innovations distinguish Infinite Focus
1. A motorized changing of the working distance results into different in-focus areas on the observed specimen - a whole series of images, the so-called image stack is captured. Novel digital image processing algorithms reproduce the image formation process in the microscope and determine which pixel are in focus. Images with optimal focus are the result. Additionally the surface topography is determined.

2. Conventional techniques do not allow optimal illumination in all image areas. In most cases areas appear either too bright or too dark. InfiniteFocus directly controls the light source and the digital camera and from that information calculates for each pixel the optimal illumination.
