Precision

High Quality Precision From Start to Finish1,2**

The high level of precision with NGENUITY™ removes the need to refocus without losing any detail.

  • 5X extended depth of focus
  • 48% increased magnification
  • 42% increased depth resolution
  • Customised digital image

 

 

See a deeper range of details in high definition and sharp focus.
