The operation navigator provides animations to guide the user through each step of microscopic observation. You can complete a series of steps by simply operating the mouse in the same way as shown in the animations appearing on the screen.


The motorized, high-speed revolving nosepiece ensures the safe and speedy microscopic inspections.

Motorized switching between magnifications helps the user to increase work efficiency and to keep the specimen safe; an automatic retracting function prevents an objective lens from coming contact with a specimen. It also offers excellent parfocality of all objective lenses and an automatic light intensity adjusting function keeps brightness levels unchanged after magnification switching.


High-speed automatic focusing and one-push gain enable the user to complete preparations for 3D image capturing quickly and easily.

The speed of the automatic focusing function has been made three times faster so that the user can reach an image or a point on an image in an instant. Additionally, one-push gain allows the user to adjust brightness optimally and to complete preparations for 3D image capturing with ease.


1 Click

3D image capturing with one click automatically detecting upper and lower limits.

With LEXT, 3D image capturing is performed by just one click of the "3D capture button." Upper- and lower-limit settings or other cumbersome preparations are unnecessary. A beginner can obtain a 3D image of the best quality easily. For experienced users, this automated 3D image capturing feature lightens their work load and contributes greatly to increasing their work efficiency.


Image Capturing

Auto Fine View does it all automatically.

The brightness and contrast of a captured image are automatically adjusted. Image conditioning is typically a manual process requiring an experienced operator. Using the auto fine view function of LEXT, anybody can acquire ideal, high-quality 3D images without special training.

Display, Measurement and Analysis

Introducing the user to a new 3D world by providing a variety of image presentation patterns, high precision measurement and advanced analytical techniques.

A captured image is rendered to an ideal 3D image by using LEXT's display capabilities. High precise measurement, high repeatability, and advanced analytical techniques related to roughness and particle analyses provide the user with a new dimension of microscopic observation.
