Z-14 Continuous Zoom Video System, Auto Focus, Plain Stand
Bringing the world into focus... at a price that’ll make you take a closer look.

Boasting an astonishing 1:14 zoom ratio, the Z-14 is a remarkable optical magnification system that’s revolutionary in design and function. The Z-14 allows users to zoom from one magnification to 14x without having to swap out auxiliary lenses or perform other tedious modifications. Zoom with ease using either step (whole number change) or fine (continuous) zoom controls.

An incredibly user-friendly system that is also remarkably sophisticated, the Z-14 features a seamless auto-focus/manual focus transition, with a complete range of heights from which to choose manually. And when you need multi-faceted imaging capabilities, you can rely on the Z-14. With its Motic Images Plus software, it’s ideally suited for the rapid inspection and quality assurance industry. This state-of-the-art software enables the Z-14 to perform measurement, cataloging, and documentation functions in one convenient package. Users are afforded nine manual measurement options ranging from simple lines to irregular shape formats, with all measurements exportable to Excel. The step-by-step calibration wizard enables pinpoint accuracy. Auto segmentation and auto calculation functions are easily exportable. And an image comparison function allows for side-by-side image comparisons.

The Z-14 is video based with a 172mm working distance [0.5x standard objective], making it indispensable for an array of applications ranging from video inspection to micro welding and from jewelry repair to biological dissection.

Powerful and flexible, yet remarkably compact, the Z-14 basic system connects to any color S-Video or Composite (TV) capable monitor or directly to your computer via USB (or all three simultaneously!). It is easily custom-tailored to your specific requirements with a plethora of accessories and options for stands, auxiliary magnification and illumination.

This configuration of the Z-14 includes six basic parts:

Zoom assembly
The remarkable optical zoom Z-14 zoom head with head holder outputs >480 lines of resolution to lessen the strain on the user’s eyes when viewing small or complicated samples. The zoom assembly includes an alignment sticker that corresponds with a sticker on the head holder to automatically align the sensor into the correct viewing position. The system also allows for accurate perpendicular viewing by the camera sensor.

Objective
The Z-14 comes equipped with a standard 0.5x objective that produces a magnification ratio of up to 48 (depending on monitor size and display format). The optional 1.0x objective increases the magnification ratio to as much as 96x with a working distance of 75mm.

Stand
With the focus mechanism built into the stand, the Z-14 guarantees users perfect perpendicular observation of samples. The set-up is easily integrated with fluorescent, LED or fiber optic illumination options. Plus there’s an optional mechanical stage that attaches to the stand and offers even greater precision for sample movement. Best of all, the Z-14’s 330mm (w) x 280mm (d) stand is incredible space efficient while still allowing users ample workspace. Optional Boom Stands, X/Y Movement and Track Stands are available.

Control box
The incredible technology that makes the Z-14 so powerful and flexible is powered by a standard universal power supply input and converts and directs the zoom assembly while outputting the color visual information to three simultaneous outputs:

• RCA video signal cable
• USB signal cable
• S-Video signal cable

Hand remote
The system’s magnification controls are right at your fingertips with the Z-14’s convenient hand remote, which is powered through the control box via a 1.5 m cable connection and allows the user to conveniently control:

• Step and continuous zoom through the entire 1x to 14x magnification system, staying in focus every moment
• Auto and manual focus with focal plane adjustments to allow for viewing of samples with numerous layers
• Brightness to correct the absorption of the illumination by the zoom assembly to produce the best image
• Backlight effect to allow for a smoother overall appearance without compromising image accuracy

The optional foot pedal allows for hands-free fine zoom control.

Motic Images Plus software
This simple yet powerful program provides features of the most sophisticated software allowing the user to document, catalog and conduct manual measurements.

• Observation and capture interface allows users to adjust contrast, brightness and hue to present the optimum image. Users can easily capture one frame, multiple frames or video of samples.
• Cataloguing system automatically saves all capture images to specified albums and eliminates mishaps caused by accidental deletions or forgotten savings.
• Allows images to be exported to other file formats (tiff or jpg)
• More details can be found here
