Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. The Keyence VHX-X1F digital microscope offers a fully integrated, all-in-one system that combines advanced hardware and software features not found in competing microscopes. The unique features include: • Fully motorized operation: Unlike traditional optical or triocular microscopes, the VHX-X1F is fully automated, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This improves consistency and reduces the time for a quality image among new users. • Built-in training videos: Integrated instructional content supports rapid onboarding for students and new users. • Real-time image processing: The system automatically enhances images during capture, improving clarity and reducing post-processing time. Camera captures images quickly at 50 fps. • Automated lighting optimization: Lighting adjusts dynamically to specimen type, ensuring consistent image quality. • Expandable capabilities: This device has a large magnification range up to 1000x. The system supports future upgrades in software or other features (e.g., polarizing hardware, differential interference contrast, thirdparty fluorescence), making it adaptable for evolving research needs.
