VHX-600 Generation II digital microscope now features 16-bit imaging resolution. The brightness range has been increased from 256 levels to 65,536 levels. 3CCD color clarity has improved from 16 million to more than 2.8 trillion colors. Has high dynamic range function; graphic engine creates images in 16-bit gradation through the acquisition of RGB data from each pixel. The double'r automatic lens/zoom recognition system makes it possible for the VHX to recognize in real time which lens is mounted to the camera, and also the current magnification being viewed. Calibration is automatically adjusted when magnification is changed. Reportedly offers a depth-of-field at least 20x greater than conventional microscopes. Includes a pixel-shift actuator, achieving observation with resolution of up to 54 million pixels. Uses a flicker-free progressive scan method. Has a wide selection of high-resolution RZ optical design zoom lenses, with up to 5000x magnification.

Heat-Spring metallic thermal interface material is a soft metal alloy developed as a compressible metallic shim for Infineon PrimePACK IGBT mounting applications. Reportedly reduces thermal resistance below that of other TIMs. Consists of soft metal preforms that are compressible. Does not contain silicone; does not outgas, and does not exhibit pump-out. Is stable and requires no special mounting apparatus. Is conductive thermally and electrically. Made of 100% recyclable and reclaimable metal.
