Function

Monitor version

2.2.2 Monitor version
An LCD shutter ("3D illumination shutter") is
positioned close to the aperture diaphragm and
is used to open or close half a side of the beam
path.
With the monitor version, the LCD shutter is
controlled via the "3MCU II" unit.
The centroid of the illumination beam path is
switched in such a way that the object is
illuminated alternately from a right and a left
stereo angle.
The camera and the monitor shutters are
controlled at the same pulse rate, i.e. each eye
only sees the image on its own side.
right eye
left eye
In the monitor version, allocation is made via
the display of the half images in two
perpendicular polarization directions which can
be allocated to the eyes by polarizing glasses.
A flicker-free display of the stereo image
composed of the right and left images is made
possible by an appropriately high pulse rate.
When the illuminator - eye allocation is
changed, a pseudostereo effect is created
(height-changed images).
Resolution, contrast and depth can be
optimized with relation to the object via the
aperture diaphragm.
