Question about measurements
Posted: 15.03.2012 09:37
Hello,
I'm a french engineer working in a company using a Olympus stereo microscope. I have installed a digital sensor on the specific optical port, and I've discovered Helicon software to correct the DOF and also the shifting due to stereo angle brought while focusing different plans : great !
In addition, the 3D modelling is of great use for me, as a part of my job is to illustrate some analysis (mechanical parts, powders, etc...).
--> I think we'll purchase the software soon.
My question : do you think it can be possible to add a "measurement tool" in the 3D view ? I mean, just dragging a line between 2 points will give the distance in mm ?
Of course I think such a capability should be calibrated depending on the optics used, the focal distance, but we can imagine a calibration procedure using a "micrometer slide" or any length reference.
Thanks for your answer.
Best Regards
Serge
