MIX Observation
PRECiV Core supports MIX observation. This technique combines directional darkfield illumination, which uses a circular LED to illuminate one or more quadrants at a given time, and brightfield illumination, fluorescence, or polarization, enabling users to highlight defects and differentiate raised surfaces from depressions that are normally difficult to see with conventional microscopes. MIX observation helps reduce a sample’s halation and is useful for visualizing a sample’s surface texture.
Conventional: brightfield shines the light straight down on the sample while traditional darkfield highlights scratches and imperfections on a flat surface by illuminating the sample from the side of the objective.
Conventional: brightfield shines the light straight down on the sample while traditional darkfield highlights scratches and imperfections on a flat surface by illuminating the sample from the side of the objective.
Advanced: MIX is a combination of brightfield and directional darkfield from a ring of LEDs; the LEDs can be adjusted to select which direction to illuminate from
Keep Everything in Focus with Manual and Instant EFI Modes
When analyzing thick samples, PRECiV Core features instant extended focus imaging (instant EFI) technology that enables you to obtain fully in-focus images by serially acquiring multiple images at different focal planes with manual devices. Starting with a simple mouse click, simply focus through the sharpness levels of your sample from top to bottom (or vice versa), and the program takes a series of snapshots and calculates one sharp image. The result can be viewed in real time during the acquisition process.
Basic Measurements
PRECiV Core software enables precise, repetitive two-dimensional interactive measurements on a live or recorded image through a combination of a simple user interface and powerful functions. Supported measurements include distance, angles, rectangles, circles, ellipses, polygons, circle-to-circle distance, angle ruler, and line ruler,. Measurement results can be easily compiled in a workbook and exported to Microsoft Excel.
Automate Repetitive Tasks with Macros
Macros (succession of simple operations) can be recorded and applied on single images or on series of multiple images automatically. Use the macro recorder to record and play macros easily.
Enhance your Microscopy Experience Using AI
PRECiV software with TruAI deep-learning technology offers image analysis beyond classical algorithms. You can apply a trained neural network to your samples for higher reproducibility and more robust analysis. Choose between semantic or instance segmentation methods for improved neural network training, enabling you to tackle difficult applications in just one step.
Live AI
Live AI* is a powerful tool for everyday use. It displays detected features directly on the live image using an overlay. This lets you easily screen the sample for any wanted or unwanted blobs without altering the image itself. Live AI can also be used to improve the image quality, such as removing unwanted scratches, for enhanced analysis. As an option, PRECiV TruAI technology can also count the defects it identifies on the live image as well.**
*Using the optional neural network training module.
**Using the optional Count and Measure or dedicated Materials Solutions (Phase Analysis, Particle Distribution, Porosity).
Neural Network Integration (AI)
PRECiV software’s AI can be used on a PC even when it is offline.* The training is performed on the supplied dataset, and the resulting quality of the AI analysis depends on the images provided for the training.
- Ideal solution for demanding applications requiring complex image analysis
- Use trained neural networks for image segmentation in Count and Measure and selected Materials Solutions
- Use trained neural networks to create a probability map for image feature discrimination
- Train neural networks using semantic (focusing on phase detection) or instance (focusing on object counting) segmentation methods
- Simple interactive training interface for quick training of the neural network when a small number of objects needs to be detected
- Remove unwanted scratches or texture on the observed live image without altering the original data
*PRECiV AI technology does not use generative AI. PRECiV AI is independent from the network and can be used on a PC that is disconnected.

Customized Software Solutions for X, Y, Z Motorized Stages
Specially developed customized software solutions expand the X, Y, Z motorization.
- Macro to micro: Detect structures from an overview image and transform their outline into a scan area for acquisition at higher magnification and further processing.
- Navigate on wafer: Define points of interest on a wafer and navigate to various points for image acquisition. Reposition the sample, apply three-point alignment, and navigate using the row and column index on wafers with dies.
- Measuring with stage: The coordinates from a motorized or coded stage are read to set the start and end points of an individual length measurement. The result of the 2D measurement includes the X, Y, Z positions.
Real-Time Image Acquisition
All PRECiV packages come with digital live processing technology that enable you to, for example, zoom in on a live image to proof details or make interactive measurements.
Acquiring high-quality images is easy as the software’s automatic exposure control, live histogram display, and the over-exposure indicator helps ensure that the entire dynamic range of the camera is used while minimizing blooming or glare artifacts. The focus indicator enables you to select a region of interest and bring it into focus. The digital zoom—operated with the mouse wheel—enables you to quickly check the live image window to be sure the camera has captured the desired details—all before you actually acquire and save the image. As a result, images are produced with maximum fidelity and reproducibility, independent of the user.
Video Recording and Time-Lapse Imaging
You can easily record videos or use the time-lapse acquisition mode to acquire and process time-lapse series.
Powerful Imaging Tools
During live observation or post-acquisition image analysis, PRECiV Pro offers several image-enhancing tools that advance your inspection capabilities and increase your probability of detection. PRECiV Pro supports:
- Brightfield
- Darkfield
- Polarization
- Differential interference contrast (DIC)
- MIX (brightfield and darkfield)
All imaging filters can also be applied on 4K and larger images.
Robust color rendering and resolution provide the high-quality images required for industrial applications. PRECiV Pro also has convenient tools that enable you to optimize the live image, including live high dynamic range (HDR), anti-glare, a digital reticle, and a focus aid.
Enhanced Contrast
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging improves contrast in difficult conditions (very bright areas and very dark areas in the same image). All cameras supported by PRECiV Pro can be used in this mode, and dedicated cameras have an available live mode.
MIX Observation
PRECiV Pro supports MIX observation. This technique combines directional darkfield illumination, which uses a circular LED to illuminate one or more quadrants at a given time, and brightfield illumination, fluorescence, or polarization, enabling users to highlight defects and differentiate raised surfaces from depressions that are normally difficult to see with conventional microscopes. MIX observation helps reduce a sample’s halation and is useful for visualizing a sample’s surface texture.
Conventional: brightfield shines the light straight down on the sample while traditional darkfield highlights scratches and imperfections on a flat surface by illuminating the sample from the side of the objective.
Conventional: brightfield shines the light straight down on the sample while traditional darkfield highlights scratches and imperfections on a flat surface by illuminating the sample from the side of the objective.
Advanced: MIX is a combination of brightfield and directional darkfield from a ring of LEDs; the LEDs can be adjusted to select which direction to illuminate from
Acquire Combined Panorama and EFI Images
The extended focus imaging (EFI) function enables you to obtain fully in-focus images by serially acquiring multiple images at different focal planes with manual and motorized devices. In manual mode, the panorama function enables you to acquire images larger than the microscope’s field of view by moving the stage across the sample manually or using an automated stage. Using PRECiV Pro software, you can now combine the instant EFI and panorama functions—even for manual microscope stages—while keeping both hands on the microscope. A colored frame indicator shows the quality of each image being stitched together, while a split screen shows the live image and stitched image side by side. With motorized devices, the acquisition of such combined panorama and EFI images runs completely automatically.*
*Requires the optional Motorization or 3D Acquisition modules.
Easily access panorama mode to automatically or manually acquire panoramic images
EFI enables you to quickly acquire all-in-focus images manually or automatically
