54 Million Pixel 3CCD Handheld Camera* [World's first]

Despite its compact size, the camera includes an actuator to offer the pixel-shift method, achieving observation with super-high resolution of up to 54 million pixels. A flicker-free progressive scan method allows texture expression and color reproduction similar to observation with the naked eye.
* The 18 million pixels x 3CCD mode achieves both excellent color reproduction and super high resolution images.

Selectable resolutions suited for observation purposes

• 54 megapixel, 18 megapixel, x 3CCD mode (2000 TV lines)
• 18 megapixel, ultra-high-definition mode (2000 TV lines)
• 8 megapixel, high-definition mode (1600 TV lines)
• 6 megapixel, 2 megapixel, x 3CCD mode (1200 TV lines)
• 4 megapixel equivalent clear mode
[Equivalent to moving image] (1200 TV lines)
• 2.11 megapixel, normal mode (1000 TV lines)

What is the pixel-shift method?

The camera takes a total of nine images to produce a single image by actually shifting the CCD horizontally and vertically by 1/3 pixel. Moreover, it obtains RGB data from each pixel. This produces sharp observation images with excellent color reproduction.

Camera-shake correction function

Image shake correction

Through further improvement of the processing capacity, the VHX-600 has real-time camera-shake correction. This function allows high-magnification observation without being affected by environmental vibration.

Frame rate 15 FPS

Smooth observation without eye fatigue

With a frame rate of 15 frames/second, the VHX-600 provides excellent tracking ability, allowing magnification change and focal adjustment to be performed smoothly.

Clear 3D observation

Clear 3D observation with a large depth of field

The VHX-600 provides a depth of field at least 20 times larger than optical microscopes. Because of this, a target with lots of varying heights can be observed entirely in focus, as opposed to a conventional microscope that could only see one layer of the target in focus. Furthermore, observation time is considerably reduced when taking into account the saved focus and adjustment time.

Clear 3D observation with a large depth of field

Observation at all angles

Handheld observation or stand mounted observation

You can freely observe a target with the lens unit either handheld or mounted to the stand. With the ability to change the observation angle, you will never overlook a defect. This will drastically reduce observation time.
