Brand: Evident
SKU: stm7-bsw
Availability: InStock

The STM7-BSW is a measurement support software for measuring microscopes. Not only is a live image acquired by a digital camera and displayed on a monitor, observation, measurement, and report creation are possible on the same screen. These features make your work more efficient.

STM7-BSW Industrial Microscopes

STM7-BSW measurement support software for measuring microscopes helps make your inspections more efficient. You can capture and display images, make observations and measurements, and create reports all from the same screen.

Quickly and Accurately Measure Objects with Complex Shapes

It is essential to see your measuring microscope’s output display clearly and easily. This software was created to do just that, helping deliver complex measurements with greater accuracy. The software also enables you to take advantage of digital microscope cameras.

Place the Sample and Start to Measure—No Parallel Alignment Required

Direct Measurement

direct_measurement

Measurements are made by receiving coordinates input via the STM7 microscope.

Recall Measurement

tm7-bsw_recall_measurement Once measured and calculated, coordinates can be reused for subsequent measurements. This eliminates the need to do the same work twice, enabling a more efficient workflow.

Virtual Point Measurement

virtual_point_measurement Intersections, central points, lengths,and a range of other measurements can be made by drawing straight lines and circles, which can then be set to remain as reference points on acquired sample images.

Alignment Measurement

alignment_measurement_list Both the origin and the X-axis are set with respect to the sample, allowing the sample to be measured even when it’s not aligned with the stage.

XZ Plane Measurement

Conventional measuring microscopes measure the XY plane directly from above. However in response to user demands, we incorporated an XZ plane measurement function in the STM7-BSW to enable the measurement of crosssections as seen from the side. Now measurements that used to be difficult are much easier—such as radius measurements for vertical sections of hemispherical objects or measurement of the depths of grooves with curved bases compared to a reference line.

Height measurement of a groove from its base and the reference line

Record Regularly Used Measurement Procedures

Macro Registration

Frequently used alignment and other measurement procedures can be combined and assigned to a single macro button—eliminating the need to start from scratch each time the microscope is set up.

Replay Measurement

Measurements can be easily repeated based on a recorded workflow by simply inputting the movement of the stage and the coordinates in response to a software prompt. This function can be used to repeatedly carry out the same measurement on the same sample or different versions of the same sample.
Furthermore, if a set value and tolerance are set in the recorded workflow, the software can automatically identify when a measurement has failed.

This function displays the direction and distance to the next measurement point, helping minimize operator confusion. The function also eliminates the need to check the next measurement point on the diagram each time, speeding up the workflow through a series of repeated measurements.

Convenient Functions Eliminate Measurement Subjectivity

Automatic Edge Detection

This function detects the edges of the sample and automatically acquires and measures their coordinates. As a result, you no longer need to designate coordinates, minimizing subjectivity. Automatic Edge Detection also features a timer that enables coordinates to be acquired in a specified time and supports the use of a foot switch that enables the operator to focus on measurement operations without taking his or her hands off the stage handles.

automatic_edge_detection_multi_points

Multipoint automatic edge detection

Abnormal Point Elimination

Metal burrs and other abnormal points can be excluded automatically during edge detection. This enables a consistent calculation of measured values, irrespective of the state of the sample. Points excluded as abnormal can also be displayed on the screen in different colors.

Illumination Control

The light intensity of the microscope can be maintained by accurate software control. Light intensity settings can also be saved when recording a workflow for replay measurement, enabling measurements to be made under the same conditions during replay or automatic edge detection.

Automatic Magnification Recognition (optional, with coded revolving nosepiece configuration only)

Using the coded revolving nosepiece, previously set calibration values are automatically recalled when changing the objective. This enables you to be confident that the proper scale is on display.

Customizable Report Generation

One-Click Report Generation

Measurement results can be output in Excel format with a single click, eliminating mistakes made during transcription. Images can also be pasted in along with the measurement results, enabling more efficient report generation.

Advanced Acquisition Functions

Multiple Image Alignment (MIA) (optional)

Tile multiple images to capture a single high-magnification, wide-area image. Because the images are tiled on the basis of coordinate data, the system is capable of producing highly reliable images.

multiple_image_alignment_after_acquistion

Extend Focus Image (EFI) (optional)

The EFI function is effective for obtaining images that are well-focused throughout on samples with an uneven, complex surface shape. Generate a single image with focal points aligned in all positions.
Simply process multiple images with different focal point positions while moving the Z-axis, or use the motorized model for automated image composition.
