Cellcheck CIL-XYZ portable video microscope is the ideal aid for accurate depth measurement to an accuracy of +/-10 µm. The microscope is fitted with a digital dial gauge which measures the distance between two focal planes for non-contact optical measurement of depths, such as holes in circuit boards, scratches in stress critical parts, or cell depths on anilox rollers and intaglio cylinders. The measurement is accomplished at very high magnification to limit the depth of focus - minimising a possible source of error. For this reason 20x and 30x lenses are included with the measuring system.

The 2592 x 1944 pixels (5 Mp) USB 2.0 colour camera provides for 900x or 1350x final magnification on a 24" screen.

The virtually play-free, coaxial drive allows precise focusing on the focal plane. To obtain the best readings: Always focus the top and bottom focus level from the same side. This is the only way to eliminate inaccuracies in the measurement resulting from a slight backlash in the focus mechanism. Here the coaxial illumination directly through the lens plays a significant role. This light guidance is the only method that allows exact recognition of the focal planes. The focusing lever can be pushed to the side for quick adjustment.

The tripod stand provides a secure position on cylinders or flat material for depth measurement. An additional five millimetre X and Y adjustment is fitted to the stand to enable moving between the focal planes when they are outside the field of view at high magnifications.

Video Software – Measure, Capture, Annotate

KITEC video measurement software has an extensive range of measurement functions, image capture and annotation capability of in 24 different languages. Combining all this with an easy to use interface and life-time free updates makes Cellcheck an unbeatable package. Measure distances, angles, radii and area, in 24 different languages. Capture images with measurements and create reports in Excel and PDF - Cellcheck makes your work quick and easy. 

Easily save images and measurement results for documenting in Excel or PDF. The software can be installed on any number of computers and is activated using a dongle so that the system can be used by several people. The measuring software is calibrated using the supplied calibration disk with a graduation of 0.1 mm and a DAkkS protocol. After calibration, the measuring software automatically creates a calibration protocol which, in conjunction with the DAkkS protocol of the calibration disk, enables reliable traceability to national standards.

Images shown above are of an anilox roller from the field of flexographic printing indicating the type of images obtainable with a 20x lens (approx. 900x magnification on a 17" monitor) First it is necessary to adjust the system above the first focal point. Then focus at the bottom, excluding the remaining backlash. As soon as the upper focal plane is in focus, the dial gauge can be set to zero and the system refocused on the second focal plane (bottom of cell). Then read off the value on the dial gauge or transfer it to the Excel log via an optional data transfer cable and interface. The advantage of using a data cable is that the value on the depth measuring dial gauge is also displayed in the Kitec software.
