Ivesta 3 Stereo Microscopes
Ivesta 3 Greenough stereo microscopes are designed to make visual inspection and rework faster and more consistent in both industrial and life‑science environments. They combine FusionOptics 3D imaging, a 9:1 zoom with magnification up to 55×, and a generous 122 mm working distance, so users can move quickly from overview to fine details while comfortably manipulating samples. Integrated‑camera and C‑mount options turn the same optical platform into a flexible digital solution for documentation, collaboration, and traceable quality control.

Ivesta 3 supports reliable inspection, assembly, and training across key industrial and educational environments.
Key Features and Benefits of Ivesta 3 Stereo Microscopes
FusionOptics technology combines high resolution with a large depth of field so you can see critical details in 3D with fewer refocus steps.
- Up to three‑times larger depth of field than conventional stereo microscopes for many samples.
- See more of the sample in focus at once, helping to speed up routine inspection and rework.
A 9:1 zoom range and magnification up to 55× let you move quickly from sample overview to fine detail without changing the working position.
- Convenient click‑stops at common zoom positions support repeatable settings.
- Wide field of view and 122 mm working distance help when handling larger parts or tools beneath the objective.
Click‑stops and, on the integrated‑camera version, fully coded zoom support repeatable magnification settings for standard procedures.
- Operators can return to the same zoom positions quickly for comparable images and measurements.
- Helps reduce user‑to‑user variation in routine QA and documentation tasks.
The long working distance provides ample space for tools and hands under the objective so you can manipulate samples comfortably.
- Ideal for micro‑assembly, solder rework, and delicate sample handling.
- Improves ergonomics because you do not need to contort around the stand or optics.
The integrated‑camera configuration offers a 12 MP sensor with 4K UHD live output up to 60 fps, enabling rich, smooth images for inspection and sharing.
- Capture full‑screen 12 MP still images and videos directly from the microscope head.
- Connect via HDMI, USB‑C, and USB‑A ports to monitors, storage devices, and networks without extra hardware.
When used with Enersight, Ivesta 3 supports inspection, comparison, measurement, and sharing in a single, consistent interface.
- Reduces training time by giving users the same software experience across microscopes and workstations.
- Makes it easier to collaborate and review results as a team, locally or remotely.
The slender Greenough design, 35° viewing angle, and ergonomic eyepieces support comfortable, long‑term use on crowded benches and machines.
- Fits easily on bonders, production lines, and mechanical setups with limited space.
- Adjustable eyepieces and interpupillary distance allow different users to work in a natural posture.
Choose between a purely optical version, a C‑mount version for external cameras, or the all‑in‑one integrated‑camera model.
- Scale from simple visual inspection to full digital documentation without changing the core optical platform.
- Protects investment by letting you start basic and upgrade to digital when needed.
Applications and Usecases of Ivesta 3 Stereo Microscopes
Use Ivesta 3 at production and repair benches to inspect and rework printed circuit boards, connectors, and electronic assemblies.
- Check solder joints, pads, and fine‑pitch components for bridges, opens, and wetting issues.
- Follow traces and vias in 3D thanks to FusionOptics and the large depth of field.
- Perform precise rework with ample working distance for tweezers, soldering irons, or hot‑air tools.
Inspect machined parts, gears, cutting edges, and tooling for wear, burrs, and dimensional problems.
- Evaluate surface finish and edge quality on critical contact and sealing surfaces.
- Assess tool wear and chip formation on drills, cutters, and inserts.
- Use the long working distance to manipulate larger components comfortably during inspection.
Support inspection and assembly of medical components where cleanliness, surface quality, and consistent geometry are critical.
- Inspect implants, catheters, and injection devices for defects or contamination.
- Verify alignment and fit of small assembled parts such as valves, seals, and luer connections.
- Use encoded zoom (integrated‑camera model) to document findings in a reproducible way.
Use Ivesta 3 for repetitive sorting, micro‑manipulation, and sample preparation tasks in labs and production.
- Perform fly sorting, microinjection, or organism handling under stable, bright stereo viewing.
- Prepare materials samples, cross‑sections, or coupons for downstream analysis.
- Benefit from the large depth of field when working with uneven biological or materials samples.
Integrate Ivesta 3 into production cells and repair benches to speed up visual checks and decision‑making.
- Use the integrated‑camera model to display live images on monitors for team review.
- Capture and share images via Enersight for traceability, training, and customer communication.
- Reduce refocus time and keep throughput high with FusionOptics and 4K live imaging.
Combine Ivesta 3 with monitors and Enersight to support instruction, audits, and collaborative problem‑solving.
- Show live or recorded images to groups when teaching inspection criteria or rework techniques.
- Add comments and overlays in Enersight to highlight defects, tolerances, or reference areas.
- Standardize visual decisions across shifts by sharing annotated reference images.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Ivesta 3 Greenough stereo microscopes and their different configurations.
Ivesta 3 is an optical stereo microscope without a camera for pure inspection and rework. The C‑mount version includes a phototube for adding an external camera, while the integrated‑camera model has a built‑in 12 MP camera with 4K HDMI output and Enersight support.
Ivesta 3 is intended for inspection and rework of electronic assemblies, precision mechanical parts, and medical devices, as well as routine sorting and sample preparation in industrial and life‑science labs.
FusionOptics combines one optical path optimized for resolution with another optimized for depth of field, giving a sharp 3D image with more of the sample in focus at once, so you refocus less and work faster.
With standard 10× eyepieces and no supplementary lens, Ivesta 3 offers a 9:1 zoom with a magnification range of about 6.1× to 55× and a working distance of 122 mm, giving both overview and room for tools.
All models have zoom click‑stops for repeatable settings. The integrated‑camera configuration additionally provides fully coded zoom, so zoom factor and magnification can be displayed and stored with images in Enersight.
Ivesta 3 microscopes with camera are powered by the Enersight software platform, which supports inspection, comparison, measurement, annotation, and data sharing on desktop, mobile devices, and 4K monitors.
The integrated‑camera version includes HDMI for 4K monitors, USB‑C for PC connection, and multiple USB‑A ports for peripherals or USB sticks, allowing stand‑alone operation or integration into networked workflows.
Yes. With the integrated‑camera Ivesta 3, you can capture still images and videos directly to a connected USB stick or network location using the on‑screen Enersight interface, without needing a separate computer.
The Greenough design, 35° viewing angle, and ergonomic eyepieces are intended for comfortable long‑term use, while the large working distance keeps hands and tools clear, which helps reduce fatigue during extended sessions.
If you choose the C‑mount configuration, you can add or upgrade an external camera at any time, turning the stereo microscope into a digital solution without replacing the optical core.
