features can be viewed on the video monitor.
L
LED (light emitted diode)
A semiconductor diode which glows when a voltage is applied.
M
magnification (mag)
The apparent enlargement of an object by an optical instrument. Abbreviated mag.
magnification, image
Magnification on monitor. Image size on the video monitor divided by the corresponding object size. Same as lens magnification in a properly adjusted optical comparator.
magnification, lens
In a vision metrology system, the image size in the CMOS plane divided by the corresponding object size.
megapixel
A unit equal to one million pixels, used to measure the resolution of a digital image.
MetLogix Mx200 software
The Mx200 video inspection software is advanced metrology software for performing two axis measurements in encoder-based systems and field of view systems at very high levels of precision and accuracy. Mx200 software is included with KMR series systems. N
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
A physical sciences laboratory and a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. Its mission is to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness. NIST's activities are organized into laboratory programs that include nanoscale science and technology, engineering, information technology, neutron research, material measurement, and physical measurement.

P
parcentricity
The condition where a feature remain at the optical center of the video image throughout the magnification range of zoom optics.
parfocality
The condition where the video image remains in focus as the magnification is adjusted from highest to lowest with zoom optics.
