Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Doppler Vibrometer
Question number FAQ-1362
How does the object being measured appear magnified when using a micro-object observation system?
The micro-object observation system combines a video observation unit (LV-0180) and an objective lens (LV-0155) to monitor minute objects. It allows for measurement by irradiating the object, magnified by a small CCD camera and viewed on a TV monitor, with laser light from Laser Doppler Vibrometer focused to approximately 3 μm using the objective lens. The object can be viewed at approximately 280x magnification on a 15-inch monitor.
Furthermore, if the object is small, you can use a 20x objective lens (LV-0152) to view the object at an even higher magnification.
