The StarLite GX is a complete measurement system that provides manual stage motion with programmable Field of View measurements in all three axes. The StarLite GX optical measurement system accommodates parts up to 6" in length. Its high-resolution color camera and superior optics deliver accuracy for demanding metrology applications. The StarLite magnification ranges from approximately 34x to 176x. The StarLite has a built-in controller which is powered by eGx® software running on a customer or distributor-supplied computer. LED lights are provided as standard for profile and full-ring LED VectorLight. LED thru-the-lens surface lighting is optional.
