1.3 The device 1.3.1 Device features Your “SCALEREO-Desk” is a complete digital 3D video microscope system for 3D imaging with- out glasses. No additional equipment is required to use the system. The system consists of the following assemblies: 1 - Signal Processing Unit (SPU) Central control &...
(magnification & focus), as well as for creating photo/video documentation To purchase optional accessories, please contact your dealer or contact 3D Global Solutions directly. We are also happy to offer additional accessories or specially developed customised solutions.
2. Safety Start of the safety instructions • Read this section particularly carefully before using the device! • Always keep this information close at hand! 2.1 Application limits 2.1.1 Intended use The product is intended exclusively for the following use: The SCALEREO-Desk is a stereo 3D real-time video working microscope with integrated light- ing and glasses-free ("autostereoscopic”) 3D screen, for magnified, spatial real-time visualisa- tion of objects with a maximum object size of 22x12x17cm and for manual backup of displayed...
2.2 Spatial limits 2.2.1 Required areas/space The following areas/spaces are required for the intended use (in cm): • Floor space (W x D): (minimum required area on a sufficiently stable, level table with ergonomically expedient working height) 100 x 60 •...
2.2.3 Interfaces The system has the following interfaces that mark the border between the system and the op- erating environment. Requirements of any kind beyond these interfaces are the responsibility of the operator/owner. 2.2.3.1 System <-> Human • Display => Representation of the image content •...
Only accessories or devices that have been explicitly approved for the purpose in writing by 3D Global Solutions GmbH may be used as optional accessories. All possible uses not described in the intended use and its conditions, as well as modifications in or to the device, are not permitted.
2.5 Symbols used Within this user manual, various symbols are used for specific indication of dangers, risks or information. Warning of a danger zone Read, observe and comply with this information! Possible consequences of non-observance: • Danger to persons • Malfunction or damage to the system •...
Opening the housing, repairs, modifications or conversions to the device or attempts to do so will result in the immediate voiding of any warranty/liability claims against 3D Global Solutions unless these have been expressly approved in writing by 3D Global Solutions.
3. Commissioning 3.1 General instructions To achieve the best possible results with your system, please observe the following general instructions: • The optimum image quality on the display is achieved after a warm-up period of approx. 20-30 minutes. • Make sure that your system is positioned so that the display is operated at an angle of 90°...
3.2.2 Unpacking box 2 • Open the upper side of box 2. • Remove the upper foam padding. • Due to the weight of approx. 10 kg and the size of the desk microscope unit, it may be expedient to have two people to lift out the device. •...
3.3 Commissioning 3.3.1 Cables and connections The SPU is the central control unit of the system, i.e. the cables of all other devices are connected to this device. The corresponding inter- faces are marked ac- cordingly. • Ensure that the mains switch on the back of the SPU, below the mains connection socket, is set to 0 (OFF).
3.3.2 System start • Turn the mains switch on the back of the SPU, below the mains connection socket to 1 (ON) to make the system ready for operation. • Briefly press the button on the front of the SPU to start the system. •...
4. Operation 4.1 Positioning of the specimens Depending on the actual height of the specimens to be viewed under the microscope, the height- adjustable camera/illumination head has to be brought into a suitable position. To do this, use the turning device attached to the upper end of the rail. A scale on the front of the rail shows you the ideal setting height for the respective specimen height.
4.3 Operation of the lighting The SCALEREO-Desk system is equipped with a very helpful and variable multi-segment lighting unit. In addition, the lighting can be steplessly dimmed. All lighting settings can be changed with the lighting buttons on the ControlBar. 4.3.1 Lighting mode Use the middle button to switch through the different lighting modes until you have found a mode that suits your application.
4.4 Operation of camera functions The system is equipped with a very reliable and convenient automatic focus system. This auto- matically performs an auto-focus adjustment with each zoom operation. This function not only adjusts the focal point, or the plane of focus, but also optimises the alignment of the two stereo images to each other, so that a natural and convenient 3D image is obtained on the 3D display.
4.5 Headtracking system It is not necessary to operate the headtracking system or change the settings as the system works autonomously in the background and optimised settings are already stored ex works. Depending on the current use and personal preferences, however, different headtracking modes may be found to be ideal.
4.5.3 Automatic 2D visualization In the two headtracking modes “FINE” and “COARSE” it is essential for the headtracking system to be able to recognise the user as a person without interference for a 3D image to be displayed! If there is no user in front of the system, the system automatically switches to a 2D image and displays only a "flat"...
4.6 Still image / live image The current image can be paused at any time to view a corresponding still image. This can be helpful, for example, with moving specimens (watch movements, etc.). • A short press on “Freeze Image” “freezes” the currently displayed image (still image).
• Select whether the data just copied to the USB stick should be permanently deleted from the SPU's local system memory. • If “Yes” is selected, the data is deleted from the local memory and is only available on the USB stick. •...
4.8.2 Foot switch Here you can configure the wireless foot control unit that is available as an optional accessory. Details can be found in the documentation on the accessory. 4.8.3 Headtracking Optional headtracking modes can be activated or deactivated here => see paragraph 4.5.1 on page 21.
4.8.6 Advanced Advanced service menu (PIN-protected) that can only be used at the request of our Support department. => For service purposes only 4.8.7 Information Information on the current software version number, system type and the possibility of updating individual applications. =>...
