Operating Simplicity that Guides Operators to Optimum Output, Regardless of their Experience

A new way to see. No peering through microscope eyepieces, because everything shows on the GUI screen. So you operate the scope with touch panel, mouse, or computer. What's more, virtually anybody can use this new operating system, whatever their experience. The screens guide the operator through the procedure, from inspection to measurement and analysis to final report. Short, simple steps. Quick results.

Three Modes to Set According to Operator Experience and Job Demands

Select Tutorial Mode or Advanced Mode to match the experience of the operator and the job at hand. And Advanced Mode can be customized to match operator experience or to do routine work. The operator's ID and password open the application, and it automatically sets the scope to the operator's preferred observation, analysis, or measurement settings along with the screen visual the operator normally uses.

	Tutorial Mode Eliminates the confusing aspects of operating a microscope. Just follow the suggestions the system gives for excellent output every time.
	Advanced Mode Makes jobs super easy for the experienced operator. Laid out for action. Powered controls make operation much speedier.
	Operator Mode This mode is customizable for speedy routine work. Most efficient when the same task is done repeatedly.

New User Interface Changes Thinking About Microscope Operation

GUI enables a direct, comfortable operation

Where an operator had to make complicated adjustments before, with DSX500i, it's simple. Once the sample is in place, everything is controlled by computer mouse, joystick, or touch screen - inspection position, focus, zoom, illumination, and choice of several inspection and operation methods. And you can easily find the inspection position you want, just by moving the image on the touch screen with your finger until it is in the right place. What's more, pinching- enlarging by spreading two fingers, reducing by bringing two fingers together-work on the DSX500i touch screen as well. All controls are direct and easily performed. Furthermore, auto-focus/auto-gain make sure illumination of and focus on the sample are correct.

Macro-mapping Means You Never Lose Track of the Place You're Inspecting

Where conventional microscopes tend to lose focus in dark-field image, DSX500i stays in bright-field image mode even when changing observation methods. That means no confusion when increasing or reducing magnification. On the screen, a macro map shows the exact observing point. And the panoramic view function combines photos of several points into a single, larger image.

Macro map always shows where you are

Optical Zoom Gives Close-Up and Wide-Angle as Needed

Zoom lens changes magnification

Change magnification as needed, even by slight degrees, with the view automatically in focus by AF function as the change is being made. A single lens gives you optics of 13x and digital zoom for a maximum of 30x.

Operating Simplicity Lets even the Inexperienced Observe Samples They Couldn't Before

The leading-edge digital technology of this microscope lets you see more than any other microscope can. Heretofore, only experts with years of experience could adjust microscopes to achieve really good views of relevant samples. But DSX500i allows any operator to do that with a GUI screen. Now all it takes is a touch of the finger to follow a few easy steps to get exact output from inspection to diagnosis to pertinent reports.

Best Image Function Ensures Optimum Microscope Performance

Now you can operate your microscope just by choosing, and leave the inspection method up to the microscope. That ensures the best possible image, whether looking for defects, uneven surfaces, or foreign objects. Anyone can operate the system, beginner or expert, and it can be customized for operator or operation. Put the inspection methods in memory, and whoever operates the scope will get the same results; no scattering.

Best Image - Just choose the image you want from the previews on the screen

HDR Gives Ultra High-Definition Visuals that Go Beyond the Human Eye

Dark-field risks blackout and bright-field risks halation, but the HDR (High Dynamic Range) function of DSX500i scopes synthesizes several images taken at different exposures to eliminate such problems. HDR promises high-fidelity images in which textures stand out and there is no halation, so defects that were undetectable now stand out.

HDR - enables ultra high-definition inspection in dark-field and DIC images with one click

WiDER Provides Easy Inspection of Samples with High Luminance Difference

If the shadowed areas black out, merely upping the illumination power is often not enough, because then halation occurs. Olympus intelligent image processing technology eliminates these problems with WiDER, a proprietary system ready to go at the click of a button. It takes care of the high contrast problems without reducing the frame rate. No blackouts. No halation.

Change Observation Methods with One Click - No Presetting Necessary

A click of a button gives you the image you want on screen

With virtually every industrial observation method at hand, it's easy to choose the proper one for the current task. Just choose the proper method with the click of a button. No complicated adjustments needed.

Various Observation Methods with Simple Operations.
Quickly Achieve the Image Definition You Need for Observation

Can be used for any inverted metallographic microscopic observation method. Also, DSX500 Series scopes offer a new MIX observation method that combines BF and DF to detect even the tiniest defects and imperfections. And advanced optics ensure the high-definition images basic to observation and measurement. The DSX Series also offer a Multi-preview function that allows touch-screen selection of observation methods.

A Simple Operation Lets You See Now What You Couldn't See Before

The DSX500i requires no extensive knowledge or special techniques to show you exactly what you want to see. By calling on leading-edge electronic technology, you can now see what was unclear or impossible before. Of course, there are no difficult processes either. Just press the buttons on the menu to see what you want.

Panoramic Photos Include Areas beyond the Field of Vision

No such thing as "outside the field of vision." Just move the observation position on the screen, and the motorized stage will move the sample to that place. As the stage moves, the system automatically stitches images into a single large field of view, in real time. Where conventional microscopes reduce field area with increases in magnification, Panoramic View maintains the original field while giving close-up clarity - with 2D, expanded focus, or 3D, or any combination of one or all.

Panoramic photos - With a bolt cross-section for example, use the mouse or your finger to select what you want　in the view, and it's all linked together on screen

Makes Your Routine Work More Efficient

You can set the image movement (up, down, left, right, slanted, etc.), the display position and method, and the sample stage will automatically obey those settings as it starts to work. This significantly shortens the takt time when observing or measuring the same kind of samples one after another.

Every Part of Samples with Uneven Surfaces is in Focus with EFI (Extend Focal Image)

For example, even the most carefully polished sample may show unevenness where different materials meet. With conventional scopes at high magnification, such unevenness is out of focus and indistinct. DSX Series scopes move the focus to the higher portion of the sample and synthesize an image of the entire field that is perfectly in focus.

Color Enhancement Feature Shows Only What You Want to See

If you put what you need to see in color and leave the rest in monotone, it's much easier to find defects, if any exist. And you can photograph just that part, too, which makes reports even more effective.

The Report Function Gathers the Results Together Efficiently

With DSX500i, you can do observation or measurement, and the operator's workflow includes preparation of relevant reports that can be output in rich text (rtf), or PDF formats.

DNA from Olympus Gives DSX Microscopes the Ability to See What Digital Microscope Cannot

Olympus guarantees the reliability of all DSX500i microscopes because they are born of Olympus optics and opto-digital technology. Halation is minimal and color reproduction is real. And to make sure of that, Olympus uses the perfect combination of CCD chips and graphic boards. The sample is reproduced with such accuracy it's like a new dimension.
