- The Keyence microscope is capable of taking hundreds of images as it raises the objective to capture an image larger depth of field. This is useful for observing objects that do not lie on a flat plane and would normally not be completely in focus. This image also contains depth mapping data which can be used to not only take XY and Z measurements, | - The Keyence microscope is capable of taking hundreds of images as it raises the objective to capture an image larger depth of field.
