Digital Image Correlation System

Non-contact strain measurements in the lab are performed using digital image correlation (DIC). DIC is a noncontact optical strain measurement technique. Samples are speckled and a series of images is captured at a fixed frequency using high-resolution cameras synchronized with the load frame.

Features:
* Macroscopic and microscopic lenses for large and small sample areas, respectively
* Image resolution options between VGA (640 x 480) and QXGA (2048 x 1536)
* Strain accuracies of up to 0.1 microstrain
