More Depth-of-Field than ever before – This is NOT an April Fool!
3D Optical microscope with 28mm DOF
01 April 2006: Grayfield Optical Inc. will be demonstrating an improved version of their 3D Optical Microscope (3DOM).
In 2004, Grayfield Optical was the first company to demonstrate a 3D Optical Microscope (3DOM) with up to 28mm depth-of-field at MicroScience. That microscope system uses a special optical system, combined with a unique illumination system, to allow either shadow less or oblique imaging of objects with a considerably greater depth-of-field than is otherwise possible. An improved version of that microscope system with ever greater resolution and 28mm depth-of-field throughout the entire magnification range will be released at MicroScience this year.
With a special swivel stage and transmitted light options, it is the ideal microscope for photographing objects like diamonds, allowing the cut surfaces to be imaged in high detail for the first time. It has many uses in industry, geology, whenever you need to image small objects without the usual DOF limitations.

About Grayfield Optical Inc.
Grayfield Optical Inc. was formed on September 15 2003, to market the unique microscopes invented by the German engineer Kurt Olbrich. With offices in USA and Germany, Grayfield’s team can offer a range of specialised microscopes aimed at industry, research organisations, and laboratories.
At the age of 23, Kurt Olbrich became a master of the model and tooling trades. With these qualifications, he started to work with plastic technology, which was in its beginnings at the time. His work with plastics allowed him to advance his career with Hoechst to head their applied research department. After 20 years with Hoechst, he decided to become self-employed in 1972 in the field of Basic Research and later in 1973/74 as a German state certified consultancy expert. Kurt Olbrich is based in Hiltersklingen, which is between Frankfurt and Heidelberg.
