    The Hirox (HRX-01) is a light microscope that can acquire 3D and 2D images using multiple focus points. This enables research into the profilometry of samples for fields such as civil and mechanical engineering, as well as producing true colour, high resolution images at high magnification for fields such as earth and life sciences. Using its fully motorised lenses and stage, the Hirox is capable of high resolution imaging (with a scale bar of 10 µm) while also being able to cover large areas (up to 100 cm2) at lower magnifications by stitching images together as 3D or multi-layered images.  The software also facilitates multiple post-processing functions including roughness, depth and area measurements.

    • High resolution light microscope that maintains true colour
    • Rotary head for video of angled views
    • Polariser and diffuser attachments for light filtering
    • Fully motorised stage and lenses for image stitching at multiple layers of focus over an area of up to 100 cm2
    • Ability to construct 3D models of topographic samples and provide profilometric information
