 Routine analysis made easy

04 Vision Air is the simplest way to do routine analysis.

Select the sample and start the analysis – two clicks is all
that is needed to perform a precise measurement with
Vision Air. User errors are practically impossible, and de-
tailed user training is not necessary.
Results are displayed clearly on the screen, with both text
and colors to indicate pass, fail, or warnings. Quickly assess
material and analysis trends with an automated trend
chart that provides rapid insight without leaving the lab.

Results are just two clicks aways
