Claims10
A three-dimensional viewing device for viewing a specimen, the viewing device comprising:
- a specimen platform for holding the specimen;
- a support above the specimen platform;
- and
- a viewing head attached to the support above the specimen platform for viewing the specimen on the platform, the viewing head comprising two image collection assemblies that each independently render a magnified representation of the specimen from a different perspective to create a magnified three-dimensional representation of the specimen;
- wherein each image collection assembly comprises:
- an optical zoom lens for magnifying the specimen;
- a digital camera configured to view a portion of the specimen through the optical zoom lens and from a unique perspective to create a magnified image of the specimen;
- a digital display configured to display the magnified image from the digital camera;
- a processor in communication with the digital camera and the digital display to transmit the magnified image to the digital display;
- wherein one of processors of the image collection assemblies is a master processor and is configured to simultaneously adjust a zoom of the optical zoom lens and a focus of the digital camera.
