Well, I wouldn't classify it as an imaging microscope. However, given that it's capable of allowing users to view and take very minute measurements, I think I'll categorise it as a profiling microscope. I guess that still makes it a microscope 😁🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

The wierd neon-colored image you can see used to create 3D model is called a normal map and it's meant to hold information about height of the object using different colours for different light angles. It is used widely in video games to create detail in low poly objects by changing how light reflects off of the surface. I find it fascinating they used normal map and not a regular height map but given the technology of 6 light sources it makes all the sense

You can make normal maps of objects by taking 4 pictures with light from up, down, left and right and then composing them manually. Like this thing but of course without the whole "immune to transparency/reflection" thing. The composing would be inverting right and blending with left 50%, put in red channel, invert down and blend with up 50% and put in green. For blue, Nvidia's old normal map plugin for Photoshop could get close with its "normalize" feature from the red and green channel.

This multi-light setup that generates the depth and normal maps is the same method that is used to generate many textures and material used in games and film. You can do it yourself with a camera, a light and either free software or Adobe Substance. You can also remove the reflection from the images using cross polarisation by putting a polarising gel on your light source and in a different orientation on your camera.

@TigerGold 59 It's a device made for industrial and commercial use, not consumer use. It will be expensive. I'd estimate around at least 15K USD. Especially with a new technology. My father works in the industrial sector, you'd be surprised by how much the industrial version of something costs vs the consumer version. They're usually 10x more expensive. For example, he once showed me a thermal camera his company was using, it looked like a gun and had a small screen at the back. The price? 5K USD. For comparison you can get a cheap consumer thermal camera for 400 USD. And the 5K USD thermal cam was only the entry-level version, the next better model was 7K USD. The reason these things are so expensive is because industrial tools are made with precision, consistency, and durability in mind. I mean, you wouldn't care much if your toaster shows up as 10°C colder than it is in your consumer thermal camera (I've checked, my toaster goes up to 700+°C), but if an engineer thinks that an electrical cable is 20°C colder than it is....the company can lose millions of $ from the resulting damage. That's why 5K$ to a serious company seems so small in the long run. My advice is to wait for a consumer version of this touch microscope to come up. That might take 5-15 years but unless you got a thick wallet, it's the only option.

I think my reaction to your example at 6:00 brings up an interesting point. See, I DIDNT experience the crater illusion when you used the touch microscope, and I think it's because humans are VERY good at context clues and learning; Because you'd shown me other visuals of the touch microscope, I was able to tell from the patterning around the letters that a flat, intended surface was pressed against the microscope, and that the letters were smooth because nothing was touching the gel surface. If they really had been protruding from the block, it would be the letters that had texturing, not the background.

I tried diverging my eyes on the octopus images to see them in 3d (Magic Eye style) and it worked! Except the images are in the wrong order so the depth was reversed making the octopus more distant than the background which looks trippy. This means that if you cross your eyes the 3d image would look correct, but I have more trouble crossing my eyes vs diverging, so I wasn’t able to do it. Maybe try it out for yourself at 5:00

Hey man I’m an aircraft tech and just wanted to give some input on other ways we can measure damage nondestructively. We have ultrasonic testers that work much like ultrasound. We also have eddy current which is extremely interesting. We have blanks of different materials; aluminum, titanium, magnesium, steel, and others. We use a calibrated head on the tool that uses electromagnetic eddy currents that are then disrupted by the damage. Using those methods we can actually measure and find cracks and scratches which may not even be visible!

When creating CG(3D) Objects like for video games. You use something called a normal map. A normal map creates small surface details like little cracks in a wall. It takes 3 different light sources and puts them into the Red, Green, and Blue channels of an image, in the end comes out in this purplish looking image. It is essentially what that microscope does, but that uses 6 light sources instead of 3. Very Cool gadget.
