Video camera
Prime lens lens
Microscope lenses
Lighting equipment
Halogen light source: LED light source
High-frequency fluorescent light source
Flash source
Other special light sources
Video displays
LCD
Mechanism and control system
PLC, PC-Base controller
Precision tables
Servo motion machine
2. Integrated collection and analysis system
