(Vision Engineering: New Milford, CT) -- Vision Engineering, a global leader in ergonomic microscopy, stereo imaging, and metrology solutions, announces the launch of ProteQ VISO, a groundbreaking 3D digital stereo microscope featuring a fully integrated autostereo display. The system delivers true 3D visualization directly on a flat screen—no eyepieces required.

Engineered for advanced inspection labs, product design, manufacturing, and prototyping, ProteQ VISO sets a new standard for user comfort, digital collaboration, and imaging versatility. The system provides exceptional clarity and depth perception, making it ideal for precision applications in electronics assembly and rework, printed circuit board (PCB) inspection, catheter and stent development, micromolding, and aerospace component validation.

Immersive 3D viewing—no glasses required

ProteQ VISO’s autostereo display technology uses twin cameras and intelligent eye-tracking software to create vivid, true-to-life 3D images without the need for special glasses or accessories. The result is an immersive, fatigue-free viewing experience with freedom of head movement and consistent image clarity.

Designed for comfort, built for productivity

The system’s upright viewing angle, adjustable screen, and eye-point comfort redefine microscopy ergonomics. Combined with live magnification display and a smooth 10:1 zoom range, users can maintain precision and focus during long inspection or design sessions.

ProteQ VISO’s stereo imaging enhances depth perception, making it easy to manipulate components and assess fine details in three dimensions. When collaboration is needed, users can instantly switch to 2D mode for group discussion or remote sharing.

For example, electronics engineers can perform solder joint inspection or fine-pitch assembly without eye strain, while medical device developers can visualize catheter braiding, microfluidic channels, or implant geometries in full 3D. In the aerospace sector, ProteQ VISO enables detailed assessments of surface integrity, composite inspections, and precision component prototyping, supporting the highest quality standards.

Smart digital tools for connected workflows

ProteQ VISO delivers a full suite of digital collaboration tools designed for today’s connected teams.

Image capture, playback, and streaming: Save stills and video directly to USB or PC and share across platforms.

Picture-in-picture and overlays: Compare reference views with live images and save preset layouts.

Annotation and measurement tools: Add notes, perform on-screen dimensioning, and create documentation quickly.

Seamless integration: Compatible with external software such as Dimension Two, plus access to email, Teams, and shared files directly from the user interface.

Additional features include low-heat illumination, a detachable display for cleanroom use, lockable detents, quick-change lighting modules, optional 360° viewing, and substage lighting—all engineered for flexibility and precision.

Advancing the future of digital microscopy

“ProteQ VISO represents a major step forward in digital microscopy,” says Richard Nagel, VP of sales and marketing at Vision Engineering. “It gives engineers and designers the ability to view and collaborate in true 3D without compromising comfort or productivity. It’s an exciting advancement that brings together optical performance, ergonomics, and digital connectivity in one powerful platform.”
